2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

I`m not sure it would have to be that big. If we offered him the same deal he is on now, I doubt anyone would match or top that in free agency.

What is the value of doing that for the Jazz as opposed to using the money to take in salary dumps?

It's just very hard to think of a fit as bad as Utah for Sexton. Sexton needs to be surrounded by great defenders and big ball handlers. The Jazz are horrible at defense and dribbling.

Okay, but literally why would the Jazz offer Sexton a big contract extension?

Do you know what the Jazz will look like a year from now? Do you know what the market is in 2026? Do you know what contract other teams will offer Sexton?

Why did Obi Toppin get more than the MLE from the Pacers? Teams tend to pay their own players more than anyone else would.

As for why, I think Sexton would be excellent coming off the bench for a good team. If we can get him on a long term deal through his prime for 10% of the cap, I would absolutely like that.

This feels like trying to claim the future is unknowable to justify decision paralysis. The Jazz didn't trade Lauri at the 2024 deadline because, well, maybe Luka would demand a trade to the Jazz or Paul George would sign here... And now Lauri's value is a tiny fraction of what it was 12 months ago. The most likely outcome for this team is five more years of tanking. There's some shot they turn it around next year, but the probability is super low.

It was reported the Pelicans didnt want to deal him. It only makes sense if they are willing to sell low.

yup. zion is averaging 25, 8 and 5 on 58% FGs since november 1. yeah, he's never available, but when you're seeing that kind of domination up close, you tend to salivate and your patience for his injury issues grows.

If you want to be a doomer go ahead. But you really dont understand team building.

In the 2023 offseason, the Jazz parlayed ~$42m in cap space into three year deals for Clarkson and Collins with the idea of trading them later and then never managed to trade them later... Tough.

This isn't really being a doomer, this is me saying that Ainge's "we need to keep all these guys in case we get incredibly lucky!" strategy just kind of sucks.

They are all still on contract next year. Again, what future knowledge do you have of what is happening next year?

I mean, we're now just going to have him walk for nothing while hoping he helps the team intentionally lose games for the next two years.

you need to calm down, bro. Can still tarde him in teh offseason if we think he's gonna walk.

 

[NAOS_pt2]

Yeah I guess you are right. I shoulda put "even more" there.

it's hard to stop idiots from idioting.

If he wants to leave, what is the big problem? The other 29 teams have clearly stated that they don`t value these kinds of players so we could easily replace him with a similar type.
