2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[NUMBERICA]

We have like 85M total committed to players next year. We will have plenty of money to give to Lauri. If you’re beside yourself over guys suggesting we take on Prince for 7M you should probably take a step back for a little.

It's more the positional thing and Prince will eat into Hendricks' opportunities. I'm not trying to layer more obstacles. I don't need him to start and play 30 minutes right away but we're already teetering into logjam territory.

To your point on the salary, yeah, we're good for now (I got to $87.5m committed for next year including our current rookies and roster charges). I forget how much the expiring nickels and dimes (the Samanics, Dokes, Juzangs of the roster) add up.

We’d be at 77.6 million next summer with Collins, Barrett, Lauri, Kessler, and Agbaji. Add in Hendricks and George and we’re at about 7.9M more or 85.5 million for seven guys if we somehow unload Sexton prior.

Given the cap is 136M and most people expect huge jumps coming, I think a cap for 2024-2025 of at least 145 million can be expected. This would provide us with ~60M under the cap next summer, tons of picks still, and tons of options. We’d have four starters seemingly locked into place and should we want to pursue someone like Doncic, would have an additional real, young asset in Barrett to do so.

An interesting trade idea from RealGM:

Orlando gets Kelly Olynyk + pick compensation(lets say worst of the 2025 picks we have)
Utah gets Markelle Fultz

Would you do that?

I don’t think I would add compensation to get Fultz, but I am intrigued by him. You still see the talent that got him drafted #1. His mid range jumper isn’t bad and he’s still an explosive athlete+good passer.

Adding Fultz is a lame idea imo.

Swing for the fences or roll with the group we have.

 

[Miggs]

Why create an even worse logjam of mediocre point guards? Fultz makes no sense imo.

We should be looking to acquire younger talent who might be gettable and maybe most of all, shooting guards. RJ Barrett, Zach Lavine, Jaylen Brown. These are names we should be considering depending on the price of course.

 

[Eddie Zero]

Fultz is a lead ball handler type combo but he can definitely help us if we end up trading away or losing JC

Who says no to a Jordan Clarkson, Simone, a 1st and Sensabaugh for Barrett deal?

uh NY smh

I mentioned this elsewhere, but every dollar that the Jazz commit to in the wake of the Collins signing jeopardizes the Jazz's ability to renegotiate and extend Lauri next year. We are a team that is all forwards so I am a little beside myself that people wanna go after Prince. Enough.

This is kinda bunk. We're currently at ~$87 million (Collins, Lauri, Sexton, Kessler, Ochai, 3 new rookies, 4 roster charges) and the cap will probably be close to $140 million.

It’ll be 136M. And it’ll likely have huge jumps the next few years.

Some Jazzfanz are already trading the Jazz rookies before they have played one summer league game. Then they want to start giving out first round picks like candy. Prince will just take away time from developmenting our young players. A big NO for me. I think the Jazz need to thin out the depth just a little. Part of a championship team is to find stars and develop your young guys so they are ready to play a part in competing for a championship. People need to be a little patient.

Compare this to the Wolves who are spending over 100 million on just the center position. . .

Between Lauri, Collins, Hendricks, Sensabaugh, Simone, and Luka I think we are more than set at the 3/4 spots.
