Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

I gotta ask...

I saw the tweet / X of JJJ getting off the private plane. Did JJJ have a private plane from the Jazz? Did Konchar and Williams have to fly Delta Airlines? The tweet / X of them was not getting off a private plane.

What's worse than losing four years in a row on purpose, destroying player's careers and taking all the fun out of basketball? Will someone come and spread feces on me?

How many tanking years would have satisfied you? 6? 8? 10? 20?

I'm intrigued by JJJ and am hopeful but gravely concerned at the level of risk associated with this trade. I do not see him as the all in solution to moving forward The Jazz are making an enormous gamble here and I hope they are right. They are all in on our new core 5. For the anti tankers, be careful what you wish for. If anything goes wrong we we will be stuck in a worse place that we have been. JJJ's 4 years $200M is a ton. Probably an over pay. All of our best draft capital is spent in this acquisition. All of our cap space is spent in this acquisition. Many say Laurie is also an over pay and we essentially could not have traded him if we wanted to. Kessler will likely be an overpay this summer or lost for nothing. If we lose Kessler we reportedly passed on 2 unprotected Indiana picks. If we lose this years tank as a result of impatience we are now stuck for the next 4 years with no viable options to get another high level talent. Jazz are back back to having very little flexibility. If we can get Dallas' luck and move up in the lottery this will pay off. If we drop below 8 I see this as a hasty move and not fully engaging in the rebuild.

Lol, Dallas "luck". Sure. "Luck."

This is a great point.

Teams eat millions upon millions of dollars to acquire one bad 1st. The going rate for a 2nd rounder (in the late 30’s to 40’s) in cash is like $3 million.

A top-8 pick with the chance to be #1? Fuh****ingettaboutit

The Jazz just paid $5 million a piece for three 2nds.

There's plenty of shade about JJJ and the Jazz in the national media and podcast scenes. I'm sure JJJ and the rest of the team will find plenty chips to add to their shoulders.

I feel like for $200,000,000, chips on the shoulders shouldn't be necessary.
