2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

It's hilarious we are acting like a NBA player who was publicly thirsty to get away from the GOAT coach isn't a massive red flag.
Why you dogging Kawhi like that?

Look... all along I have said if Hardy signs off on it. He had a front row seat. If we do or don't do it we will have a ton of real info to base the decision on.
 
If we were to concretely talk about the drawbacks to Murray, what are they? I know one is his efficiency. Some don't think his three point percentage is high enough. It does look like, though, probably the biggest thing hurting his efficiency is that he doesn't get to the line.
The biggest thing to me is that the price to obtain him is far greater than his value. He's a good player, but Atlanta seriously overpaid to get him and will want those resources back if they move on from him.

We should take Collins with him to lessen the price.

They can't expect to get the same price they paid though. They used up 50% of the utility of the asset they acquired.

That said... if the price was more than cap flexibility (assuming his deal), #28, and a future pick (LA, Cleveland, or Minny) then I'm likely out. The price might be higher than that... and they might get it... but that's what I'd view as fair.

They most likely use some draft capital to move off of Collin's deal... as they may not bite the bullet on Murray and might be pot committed.

But then I think we would have trouble with the renegotiate and extend. I'm guessing they move one or the other but not both. One of the main reasons to move Collins is to have the space to keep Murray.

IDK... Atlanta is a mess and I'd just be calling em everyday to check in if I was Danny Ainge. I think something happens there... and I think there is a good chance we can get involved.
 
It's going to be more difficult to field an expensive team, especially for an extended period of time. I think sitting around too much and hovering while Lauri is still on a cheap contract could be a mistake. With more parity in the league I don't think it's bad to just be a very good team that's one or two moves away from being really good. If we're going for a vet PG, here would be my wishlist:

1. Trade for Quickley
2. Sign FVV
3. Trade for Murray

Well we should send them back some players though. Would they be interested in Sexton if they’re dealing Murray? I don’t know.

If NY does not do a star trade, or have one brewing this summer, where they move Quickley I think he becomes available for future picks. A preserve the asset type of thing before he gets paid. I think there is a chance he goes in a KAT trade to Minny.

Maybe like JC or KO. Sexton and Young is not a great combo. I actually think Sexton with Murray (even if Collin comes off the bench) is kinda interesting backcourt rotation group.
 
There's no question that ATL has a money problem and Collins is overpaid, but they should really be looking to solve their C situation first. They can't pay both Capela and Okongwu, and those two cannot play together. Collins can play with either one, and it will also boost his value a ton if he has the chance to play backup C. If I'm them I'm looking to Capela to HOU, or maybe even move Okongwu for a future draft pick. If you move on from Collins and lose assets in the process you still have to figure out the C situation. I don't think we're the right trade partner for them.

I think they will want to keep stacking picks until they get that trade, but the pressure comes if Quickley's negotiations go poorly and he wants to be a starter. It's gonna require some heat from Quickley's camp to get a deal done, but it's reasonable that he would want to be a starter and also that NYK does not want to pay him starter money for a backup.

If that scenario happens, I'm hoping we can get a Sexton+Picks for Quickley+Fournier type deal done.
