If we traded for Randle and did not play him in a contract year, he and his agent would rightfully be pissed at us. It would make it even harder to get established players to want to come to Utah if the perception around the league was that we stood in the way of players getting their bags.

Where did I say not play him?

What are the rules on trading swaps? I would assume that isn't allowed since they are agreeing to a swap with a team under a likelihood that the swap conveys. For example it wouldn't be fair for Denver to trade a 2025 swap with Utah and have Utah trade that to Boston.

If you can't trade a swap, then I might prefer something more tangible like 2nds. I understand that the swap is potentially much more valuable than 2nds, but it's more likely that it's not that valuable (helps us move up a couple of spots) and could be literally worthless. Even though Ainge hates seconds they have tangible value and is something we can use to help make trades happen.

Specifically with Denver I would say that an unprotected swap in 2029+ is more valuable than 2nds, but 2028 and before I would prefer 2nds.

We could trade swaps to other teams but not exactly how you’re saying. For example, we own a pick swap in 2028 with Cleveland. We could trade the more favorable of our pick and their pick that year in a deal.
