Grade the Jazz’s Trade Deadline

[NUMBERICA]

Jazz out:

• 3 1sts
  • '27: Best of Jazz, Cavs, and Wolves unprotected picks
  • '27: Lakers pick protected 1-4
  • '31: Suns unprotected pick
• Walter Clayton
• Taylor Hendricks
• The $18.3 million TPE (in essence)
• >$50 million in capspace next year

Jazz in:

• Jaren Jackson Jr. (and his $50 million a year)*
• Vince Williams
• Jon Konchar
• 3 2nds
  • '27: Nuggets
  • '28: Cavs
  • '32: Cavs
• cash

* this has potential implications on our dearly fought for '26 draft pick
Note: It appears the Jazz passed on something similar to a 5-8 '26 pick or unprotected '31 pick + unprotected '29 pick + Benedict Mathurin for Kessler per Jones/Clayton reports

Would say Jazz did good
Got young all star caliber big man that can defend
Got two young guards that can defend better than what Jazz have

B+ that becomes an A+ if we retain our pick.

I gave it a B+. JJJ’s a real asset. How good of one is the question which keeps this lingering right between an A+ and C+.

I’m not worried about getting the pick. We have the 6th worst record right now with 35 losses. That’s four more losses than the Mavs and six more than the Grizz and Bucks. I really doubt all three teams pass us, when we’re actively trying to tank.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

A- depending on this years pick.
