Don't know much about olynyk, but he can shoot it right? Maybe he would be a great third big. Get him and a draft pick.
Damage control.

It would be the other way around, you can be 100% sure on that. Olynyk is a limited, but very fundamentally sound basketball player.

Yeah I don't think we as jazz fans understand how low his value is.
Nah, Olynyk isn't that good.

It's funny how far part everyone is on Kanter's value. From the fans, to the writers, to the GM'S
I think it's just somewhere in the middle. He isn't terrible. But he has his limitations. He still has some upside left.
If Timothy MosGov can fetch two late first rounders, then Kanter should be able to too. It all just depends on who you are dealing with though .Some GM'S are smarter than others. So it just takes one team to give you good value, regardless if the other 28 teams wouldn't. Look at how Phil Jackson handled his roster. He didn't get squat out of tearing it apart. Danny Ainge on the other hand has done a masterful job.
What the Jazz need to do is not be so hard headed about this. They can't expect to get 3rd overall pick value back, but they shouldn't sell for scraps either. To get the best value out of this situation is they have to take a risk on a guy who is a buy low right now. They gotta have guts. But they still have to do their homework. So get a guy like Stauskas who everyone thinks is a terrible player now, but was highly coveted just a few months ago. What could have really changed since then? The most likely scenario is that he has been handled wrong and could still have a bright future. If not him, then another player in a similar situation. Like TJ Warren in Phoenix. They want a big. They haven't even given Warren a chance, so they don't know what they got. He could be good. Their a bunch of more examples like this that I think are doable.
Not trading Kanter at this trade deadline is going to be a colossal mistake imo. We are going to get little to nothing for Kanter if we don't trade him now. And keeping his pointless and will only hurt the team. All its going to do is limit how much Gobert plays and possibly piss him off too. Now is not the time to get greedy. I think it's going to backfire if they do. And I highly doubt Kanter will stay anyways. I bet he takes the qualifying offer and bails. So we'll just be renting a disgruntled player for a year and a half. Yay! Brilliant.

Mozgov is an above average rim protector. He has more value than Kanter, at least for contenders trying to win now.
