Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

[Nate505]

We’re rebuilding… we need as many bites at the apple as we can get. Wake up.

The pick gained for Beverly is a nibble at the apple at best.

People are mad we traded Berverly for a 21 year old? Yikes.

and a 26 year old. But I think they are mad cause beverly was going to bring us a title or a boatload of unprotected first round picks but now he cant

I think it’s still a net positive for the Jazz because winning doesn’t matter….but you have to think the Jazz should have done better gear. Beverley is a solid positive trade asset. THT is negative or neutral at best. Should have gotten some kind of pick out of this at least.

Basically this… it’s not like it’s the worst thing ever… the NAW trade was worse… but we sold ourselves short and it isn’t like we have an armory full of second round picks right now. Most experts think THT will opt in and his deal is likely a little negative… but even if he breaks out you’ll have to pay top of market rate to keep him. Just not a deal that provides upside.

It also tips our hand a little more.

It also is just kinda wonky.

I also think it could be step one in a two part laker deal. Break it into two deals to do it sooner… maybe.

You see, that could have been a 2nd round pick next year. That second round pick could have been parlayed into two second round picks in 2024, which then could be parlayed into 5 in 2029. Eventually in 2048 we could own the 2nd round yo.

Ummmmm

According to Lantz and McDonald. LA sports are part of the basic cable package in Vegas. Probably still out there somewhere - dark web or something.

This is really rich coming from the guy who’s only contribution on this site is repeatedly asking if we traded Mitchell for 6 picks yet.

Well, have we?

Just seems like the New York present offer of picks and young players trumps it….to me at least. I mean what would that buyout figure even look like I wonder.

I think you're confused. Are you talking about the New York trade for Donovan? That trade would still happen. We aren't trading Donovan to the Lakers. If a Lakers trade happens it would be for some of our other vets like Bogey, Conley, JC and Beasley. Making a trade with the Lakers doesn't have any impact on the Donovan to New York trade at all...we can make both trades and come away with a ton of draft picks.

I think it’s worse. NAW could theoretically improve and we have team control. Ingles was also a non-contributor with his injury. THT can leave if he improves and Beverley is a playoff starter which every team can use.

Still a positive given the direction we’re going, but it’s hard to feel like we found the best deal. We did the Lakers two favors by eating THT’s contract and also giving them a good player they very much needed.

All I know is that Bron made damn sure he was held out of the A.D. trade.

According to Lantz and McDonald. LA sports are part of the basic cable package in Vegas. Probably still out there somewhere - dark web or something.

Sir… the AD trade happened 5 days before Lakers acquired THTs draft rights. So this is not a thing.

The NAW trade served it’s original purpose… to save 12M. It was easier to understand if you knew what to look for… so I concede… this trade is worse as it stands.

It's an ok trade. I don't think the internet hype and memefication of Beverley ever turned into real value for teams. I wouldn't think teams would get desperate for him at the deadline either since he is an expiring and signing him further would be a problem.

THT could surprise people with how fast he develops some aspects of his game in a better environment with some space.
