Might the idea be to get Barrett and move him for even MOAR picks?
Even if Ainge doesn’t like him, people around the league do.
Picks for days.

It's still sort of hard to believe this is actually happening. So many of us wanted the front office to completely blow things up and re-build, but I honestly didn't think they would really do it. It's definitely the right decision, but it's going to be a really long couple of years being one of the worst teams in the league.
The discussions starting:
NYK: Hello, calling about Donovan Mitchell

There’s a legit chance that we have multiple unprotected first round picks from two of the worst franchises over the past twenty years. On top of that, both of them would be trying to force multiple big men/multiple small guards to share the floor in a wing driven league. That’s absolutely incredible.
Now ... this is a few steps ahead but... does anyone think maybe small part of the reason the Jazz are going full tank is because of who is the no. 1 prospect in the draft? A lot of foreign players seem to not have the same hang ups about being in Utah/small market teams and they seem to be good spending huge majority of their career with the team that drafted them(Rudy, Giannis, Dirk, Parker, Ginobili) and trying to win with that team. Maybe I'm reaching here... I don't know. What say you?
Not the Knicks own pick. They can trade because they have someone else’s that year.
Am I wrong? Usually they can’t trade crack to back years.
Have I stayed up all night reading and refreshing here and various other NBA news sources yet?
The Jazz don't have a franchise cornerstone player, and they don't have multiple high-level talents on the roster, so a reset is necessary regardless. But yeah, the only reason the Jazz made the Finals in the late 90s is because Karl and John were loyal and kept extending their contracts. It takes years to draft and develop All Star-level players, and if they leave after their 2nd contract it's very difficult to put a contender together.

That's what he should be asking for in my opinion. I'd ask for everyone and negotiate from there.
****ing hope so.
