Honestly, just unprotecting the 2027 pick probably gets it done.

right?

Nah, you are cleaning the Laker's books. Make them pay for that.

Andy Larsen specifically said that the Jazz and Lakers talked about a Collins trade last year, but that it probably wouldn't happen now.

I heard him say it was the Warriors who showed interest in Collins but that was before the Jimmy Butler trade.

I'm pretty sure all of the contracts in this deal are expiring.

Well then, proceed.

Honestly, I just like Collins. .

The Laker deal that makes more sense is Maxi+Vando for Collins. Gets Lakers off some future salary. I don’t think that’s worth trading a first for the Lakers…but maybe they add in Knecht?

Charlotte's team would be:

Ball
Miller
Bridges
Lauri
Walker

That's an incredible starting 5 w/ health and internal improvement from Walker/Ball/Miller that would possibly be one of the best starting 5's in the NBA. Elite size 1-5. High level shooting 1-4. Athleticism 1-5. Their bench would be Josh Green and Tre Mann then a bunch of scrubs.

Retire or play with LaMelo? Tough call for Lauri.

Holy ****. They would be a WILD haul to get back for John Collins - who was basically traded to the Jazz for broke down Rudy Gay straight up? Start collecting those 2031 picks and swaps.

Seems like Collins would be the most likely target for the Warriors if the Jazz wanted to S&T for Kuminga.

What's with the generic kits that aren't even the Jazz colors? Be better, whoever's responsible.

Love Rui wanted the Jazz to draft him
