2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I’m with Captain Obvious here. Maybe before the Hendricks pick it made some sense. The ivory towers would have had a new pillar.

Wonder, if Porzingis was going to be on the FA market, whether Jazz would have gone even harder in the draft to try to move up for Black? Would have been a tall lineup.

I think I would pop on Kuzma for anything under 25. We are really, really young and Kuzma at that price would have value if Hendicks gells quickly. I think they are going to need to tear down Hendricks a bit and rebuild him. That could take time (but not Balil time, thankfully.)

Why would they need to tear down Hendricks and rebuild him? He has a consistent outside shot already and a strong motor. He needs to get stronger and continue to develop his ball handling but there isn't anything to tear down and start over like a broken jump shot.

Maybe… sometimes you just can’t make those teams sell or it becomes insanely expensive and isn’t smart.
 
The Jazz are saying they want dribble pass shoot players.

I still think they are going to target Kuzma, but at the right price.

I'm sure they were interested in Zingis too, at the right price. That's overall what I expect, Utah to try and find a good deal

Harden anyone? (I wouldn't do it, but kind of makes sense with the rest of our roster if we are trying to be as good as possible in the short run.

I mean I’m interested in Kuzma for sure.
 
Just fyi, Kuzma and a few others may be an exception but generally the Jazz will have better luck signing foreign free agents. At least that's one idea that is out there.
 
Players I would throw more minor / small contracts at:

Either of the Holiday bros
Jevon Carter (I love this pickup for the Jazz!)
Josh Hart
Malik Beasley (I liked him on the Jazz when we didn't have Clarkson on the floor at the same time)

Players who are just too spendy for my liking but would be excellent additions if they can be had on a 1 year:
Cam Johnson (If the price is right then yes but that's unlikely)
Clarkson (run it back if the price is right)
Rui (ok)
Kuzma (meh)
Bruce Brown (doubt it)
Kris Middelton (doubt it)
Harrison Barnes (doubt it)

Free Agents that would help put us in the playoffs:
Draymond Green - but I just don't see it happening
FVV - He would be a tremendous P&R threat with Lauri! He is probably the only FA I would spend more than $30 million per year on. But I would prefer alternatives via trades.

We definitely need a Holiday brother on our team at some point.

What about Austin Reaves? He can be had but we'll have to go north of 100 million to get him.

The shot is great, keep that. He plays defense with his athleticism like Whiteside. If he wants to be a rim protector rather than a weak side rim protector he needs to learn his craft like Rudy or Kessler. He's athletic enough for the footwork, he needs to learn the footwork.

He has to learn the team game. Watching him play he looks like he is playing separate from his team. Not selfish, just like he was the new guy showing up to a pickup game that has been going on for years. He needs to be on a team with talent as good or better than him and learn where he fits.

I think of him as one of those elite athlete projects that can already shoot. I can't see how you could be high on someone like a Thompson twin or Bilal and be down on Hendricks. It is the same concept, but he has the most important part down already and has better length.

LMFAO.. they told the Cavs they wanted Allen, Mobley, and a pick for him? Crazy.

But also the Cavs should totally make that trade to ruin their future

Sound alike the kind of thing you leak so you make Tobias Harris ego not feel hurt. Yeah, you're on the block but we are asking for ridiculous **** (even though it's BS and we actually begged to dump you with some 2nd round picks)
