Jazz Free Agency Summer of 2018

Just food for thought...

Spurs get Ingram, Hart, Bradley, Utah 2019 top 20 protected 1st, multiple draft picks from the Lakers
Lakers get Kawhi and Burks
Jazz get Kuzma and Deng
http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=y9q2azqo

The Spurs get 3 young players and probably 3 first round picks (1 from us and 2 from LA)

Lakers get Kawhi. This trade means they spend only $4 million more (Kawhi and Burks) instead of (Deng, Ingram, Kuzma and Hart). In other words, their dream of Kawhi, LeBron and PG is possible.

We get Kuzma for a highly protected pick and taking on Deng. We use a trade exception to get Kuzma.

Honestly, I like it. I don't think it would actually go down but man that seems to make some sense for every team. The Jazz would also just then likely just use the stretch provision on Deng's contract.

Not sure if the Lakers can get the big three like you say (they’d have to renounce guys maybe?) and I def think the Spurs would want more (we can’t protect that pick—maybe top 10 but not top 20), or at least I’d have to see more specifics on what those Lakers picks would be, but that does look pretty damn solid.

That said, I could see the Spurs preferring to deal with the Celts since they’re out East.

I would keep Deng. I don't think he is done yet and I don't want to pay him $8 million a year the next 5 years.... We still have so many cheap guys that we can afford to just pay him the next two years.

Also, if you noticed, we could keep Favors AND Exum and any of the non-guaranteed guys we wanted. Pretty stacked roster.

Boston has the picks. Boston has the young players. Boston does not have the contracts required to make the deal work financially unless they trade Kyrie, Hayward or Horford. I think they need a 3rd team who really wants one of those 3 and will send more assets to San Antonio.

so what you are saying is that boston has the picks, the young players and the contracts required to make a trade with the spurs.
