Jazz are already broke. They don't have a franchise-defining player.

If you are broke and have a chance to make money... it might be even more wise to invest in something less speculative.

I could see it. And that may be Ace's play...

Ace makes philly nervous so they just take VJ knowing he would go #4. Ace's team knows Charlotte will take him and do a reasonable deal with Washington.

Philly wants a lot to move down as of right now. Maybe that changes but Morey is a guy that drives a hard bargain at times.

If Charlotte can't get VJ, they want (drum roll.......) Kasparas?
 
We make fun of Peek for her takes on Edey, but she was the only one who had Salaun to the Hornets last year. People thought that was trolling, but she might have good intel there. LockedOnHornets guys give her credence as well. She has them high on Kasparas this year.

I have no idea one way or the other, but why are you continuing to assume its WAS? I am assuming its BKN but only because of "geographical advantage".
 
If Charlotte puts their pick on the market, the Jazz should go get it and secure Tre Johnson, or get in on a 3-way trade. Some team can then trade up to 5 for Ace, and Charlotte gets to double-dip and get Kon or Kasparas if that's their thing.

I think WAS is a good guess because 1) how much $$$ is Ace actually wanting to lose by sliding further and further and 2) WAS convinced Sarr to not workout with ATL with the promise of getting to get as many shots up as he wants. Ace is pretty clear on what he wants and how he views himself as a player. He wants buckets. WAS has done this trick before.

I'm not citing Peek. The idea that the Hornets like Kasparas was put out by a local Charlotte beat writer.

I think the furthest he slides is 4. Hornets have a tradedown lined up when/if 76ers take VJ to a team trading up to get Ace.
