2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I’ll go ahead and pass. Not looking to lock him up long term.

I think the best option for him and JC is to opt in with the idea or agreement we are trading them somewhere they can get an extension off of their current salary. I think THT to Brooklyn for Joe Harris and a pick swap of 28 for 21 is something both teams could be interested in.

I would be all over that. I think 21 offers some players that 28 doesn't and I really like Joe Harris. THT was really just OK for me. But I am not sure THT offers more than Harris alone so it feels a little Jazz centric.

Pick swaps probably won’t happen with any of the guys that have player options. The timing just doesn’t work. It basically limits the Jazz to using Sexton and KO for those types of deals.

I personally would love to see THT back. I think he’s just scratching the surface of his potential and he likely becomes a rotation player when they manage to get back into the playoffs.

Well we all know tampering is a thing and the Jazz can negotiate extensions with them if they want... so you simply let them know if they opt in they can be moved and get an extension. They'd have to like their destination. The timing isn't ideal but its not impossible. Its like what CP did to get to the Rockets years ago.

Its unlikely with THT... I think it is what ends up happening with JC either before or after the draft. If we sign and trade him it limits the acquirer... most of the teams with cap space won't be looking at JC. His offers may be right around MLE type offers... this way he can get his money and get to the spot he wants.

If he declines there's always the option we re-sign him on a long term contract. Not sure I'd want to if he's looking for a lot more than $11m, but the option is there.

His efficiency is just too bad for me to want to re-sign him unless its really cheap and for him to be a third stringer.

Agreed.
If the Jazz draft someone like JHS, Black, or Wallace I think that officially will end any need to bring back THT.

If you had asked before the deadline I would've said he picks up that option. Those Klutch boys are pretty smart and realize this might be the best shot to get their client another long term deal after all those minutes he was given the last 2 months of the season. I believe he declines the option at this point..
 
Some of these guys like JC and THT might need to go especially if they're drafting their replacements. I think JC wants to play for a contender. THT had his good and bad games, I don't know what Dunn's contract is but I thought he was more consistent when given a chance. Jazz need some vets to stay. I keep all three picks and try to move up if there is a player the Jazz really want but having good young talent helps with trading for a star in a year or two when the Jazz will be ready to compete. I am ready for the draft to start. I am waiting for summer league so Jazz fanz can begin bashing the picks if they don't play well. Which is another Jazz tradition. hahahahaha

Hoping THT somehow opts in before the draft so he can be something to trade or at worst another expiring contract. But I’m just not in on him as a top-7 rotation player on a contender. 6th man at best and I think there are better 6th men, otherwise I don’t think he fits into legit high-level lineups.

But yeah, he’s good. Good enough that he might leave $11 mil on the table for more money and good enough for an eye-of-the-beholder to love him. Wonder if Indiana would trade their latest 1st for him?

Harris has struggled with injury and makes like $20M on an expiring deal. THT makes 11M... that factors in pretty heavily here. It gets them close to out of the tax and gives them another ball in hand option as they already have a bunch of wings. I think it honestly isn't enough coming back our way if anything.
 
Cy wants us to take Walker at 6 and JHS at 9 if we did that trade? Thank the heavens that dude has nothing to do with the organization.

Could you imagine passing on one of the twins or Cam for Walker?
 
I keep seeing that everyone is expecting Peyton Pritchard to be traded to the Jazz. I use to think that he would be a fun pick up but the more I watch he has a tendency to over-dribble a lot. He is a good dribbler but come on move the ball more.

The trade I see is Pritchard and Gallinari for KO. Not sure how I feel about that since KO has A LOT more value than those 2 combined.

Yeah, I'm imaging an elite defense with high level versatility

That does not sound like a good trade if those are the only 3 pieces.
