I think KA and Love will be moved in the deals we do with our trade exceptions. There are a lot of scenarios where we can take back expiring salary or do two for ones that yield second round picks. One guy has to get waive in some of those. They could do KA for someone then waive that person but would have to be done before deadline week.

What deadline was last week?

No just referring to the trade deadline. As in a team would have to move a little quicker than normal. KA type trades are usually the last day type of deals.

Haven't had my coffee yet lol. I think a KA deal that makes sense is to LAL for Kleber or Vincent. They toss us a second or whatever and we buyout whoever we get. I honestly think KA would help them.

We have the Laker pick next year. We really shouldn't do them any favors at all.

I agree. Nurk has played much better than expected. Jazz has to find a way to keep him either as a backup or insurance as you stated.

He seems to gel well with some of the young guys too, which can only help them grow. And perhaps he can help Hendricks learn to be effective without being able to move.

And I just don't know how quickly that transaction can happen... so if LA is waiting on a bigger deal they may not do it. But yeah even without the on court help he would save them 5M or so with the tax and salary. Just need them to give up on better stuff.

Worst case we have to wait and we do some other deals and waive Niang or Love (whoever isn't in the 1 for 2 deal). At the end we clear out 2-3 roster spots we can play with. Give harkless a scam deal and churn with the other spots.

All we are doing is saving them cap space this year. They could sign Anderson this offseason anyways as they are projected to have cap space.

We are saving cap space so we could jump in when Peyton Watson or Anthony Black couldn't agree to a contract extension this summer, which seem inevitable at this point.

Brice Sensabaugh for Daron Holmes - This trade gets DEN under the tax, and Brice is potentially a nice shooter to have next to Jokic. This trade is less likely due to Jokic injury, but he may be back before deadline.
Zeke Nnaji for nothing - DEN doesn't have enough incentive to make it worth it for UTA.
