2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I'm sure they want to move Collins and they ultimately want to do both, but their C situation needs to be resolved whether they move Collins or not.
They don't have a center situation. They have a good starter who misses some games each year and a good young backup who would like to start but has his own injury history. Next year combined they make 29M. The following year Okongwu is a restricted FA... his price gets wild they may let him walk. If they move Capela and end up with a hole at center that doesn't work well. Moving Okongwu doesn't solve their long term money issue.

I think you can paper over a hole at PF easier than at C... especially with Trae Young... you need a defensive anchor. I'm guessing the trade market for Capela and Collins is similarly tepid. So maybe they find something they like better with Capela... but I think that convo can wait a year if they found a suitable deal for Collins.
 
Opting out of $22.8M. I'm sure he will get a nice contract, but wow. Imagine living in a world like that.
I'd set the over/under for his deal this summer at 4/120M... quite a world indeed.
 
Shams saying Pelican trying to get Scoot... wonder if Zion or Ingram is the bait. That could be wild.
 
Just saw that. NBA twitter seems to think it could be Ingram as the bait.
The zion ingram pairing is likely going to be split up. Not sure what Zions trade value looks like. NO could also do something interesting around Herb Jones, Alvarado, and a **** ton of picks... would think Trey Murphy is a guy they'd need to keep but maybe him.

Like maybe Herb, Alvarado, #14, and like 2-3 unprotected future picks? Add in a JV for Nurkic swap?

Anyway... real curious with the kind of iterations they could do. NO does need a consolidation move.

I would be amazed if Nawlins got a 1st for Zion.
