2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

Part of it is probably a cultural issue. Part of it is probably that the Jazz are early in a rebuild process.
I think Ingram just wants the bag, so IDK if it's really about the rebuild process. Sure, if Utah was looking like a title contender, it might change his mind, but anything outside of that is probably a non-starter for a lot of top players.

Ingram gonna likely find out this summer that he should go anywhere that wants to pay him. If there is a team willing to trade for him he should likely be all for it cuz FA market gonna be limited and finding a team that wants him and his bird rights might be the path to getting paid.
 
So... if NOP do want out of the Zion business. The market would obviously be just really poor. His contract is written so he can be waived potentially if he doesn't hit certain games played thresholds... its likely why he changed reps recently (speculation). You doing Collins and Walker for Zion if you are DA?

He may be the next Kawhi/Ben Simmons/Brandon Roy... his body just might never be in the right place consistently and he may not be as committed as you'd want. This deal gets NO two things they need and out of the tax. It obviously aids the tank tremendously but may end up being a millstone we have to carry.

I'm guessing most think this is either laughably low or just would never make the move... but I thought it was potentially an interesting discussion.
**** it, I would do collins and walker for zion.
 
My faith in our front office is not high at the moment.

Trying to blow their load on Bridges and PG this past offseason was really dumb. Trying to trade for Brandon Ingram this season would've ruined me if it was successful.

What are we doing?

We are trying to get a good price on anyone talented. Don't think it's a bad plan, even if it results in a lot of kicking the tires on guys who might not have worked out great.

Not executing those trades.
 
In the past few days we've learned the Bulls and Nets basically have the majority of their rosters on the trade block. I can't imagine Jazz could get much for any of their guys considering the bad teams are already saturating the market with talent. Most of the buyers either don't have draft capital and/or up against the apron.

Jazz could deal a few players but I likely expect the return to be mediocre at best.

Yeah, I think Cam Johnson is a lot more appealing to winning teams than Collins and Schröder is more appealing than Sexton.

Plus DFS is still a great piece for a winning team. All Chicago trade market players seem equivalent to ours overall when weighing contract/age but maybe a contender talks themselves into Pat Williams value long-term as a rotation piece on a winning team

Except Nets will ask for too much for their players, which most winning teams simply can't afford. We won't. We will take second rounders for Clarkson or a late/protected first for Sexton/Collins.
