Best Playoff Outcomes for Jazz Trades

Drafts are tough. I don't think we can be certain that the next two drafts (which we are now more familiar with) will be better than the drafts following them.

I agree somewhat. The high end prospects in the next couple drafts are pretty bankable. I also think just knowing what is in front of us can guide our decision making now. Experts accurately pegged this draft as "meh". 3 years out is a long way away but if you are fairly certain you have a couple good drafts in a row in front of your nose and you are in our position... I think the right call if you are trying to win a title is to tank.

Part of what is guiding me is the fact that the West is going to be TOUGH next year unless some teams really fall apart. Giving up assets to trade for a second tier star to be a play in team and lose our 2025 pick completely... just feels like we lack some self-awareness

Lauri isnt a 5 and KD isnt a 4. Playing two guys out of position in a league that is becoming increasingly more dominated by bigs is a bad decision imo.

Yeah, I can see that. I think you can make it work, but I see what you are saying. It will be interesting how OKC fares without a guy over 200lbs.

BTW, weren't you all over Lauri needs to play at the 5 last year?

Sexton, Dunn, Ingram, Durant, Lauri would be an interesting lineup.

Don't love it. While the front court has enough length, none of those 3 are great at doing the big man work. Sexton isn't a great fit with Ingram+Durant who will want the lions share of the ball, and Kris Dunn is harder to fit into lineups when he cannot have the ball on offense.

Yes, I still think you want a good lineup option where Lauri plays the 5. I dont think that would be with KD as a 4. Also Chet is light, but he's tough and is a rim protector.
 
I don’t think the Pelicans necessarily want to get worse/younger. An Ingram for Trae based deal sounds kinda interesting to me.

Trae+Herb+Trey+Zion sounds pretty nice.
 
Cavs losing the first round in humiliating fashion which cause DM to quit on them, forcing Cavs to either rebuild or go all in on LBJ in the summer. Best outcome for the Cavs 2025 to 2029 picks that we own.
 
I think Philly might be the Ingram destination if they strike out on George. Might be a three team we where the picks go to a third team that is giving NO something they can use now.

Three team deal that sends Lauri and Walker to NO and Ingram to Philly where both Philly and NO send picks our way and we snag Hawkins for NO and maybe Daniels too. I prefer Hawkins doe.

Philly has a 2028 Clips pick I would want. NO has their own, 2025 Lakers, and some Milwaukee pick/swaps.

Even if Don demanded a trade that wouldnt make them go full rebuild or chase LBJ...
