Jazz Pushing For Jaylen Brown

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Sarah Todd's article in the DN today about what busts the last three drafts have been has me wondering if everything isn't up for trade at the moment.

Keyonte isn’t a bust. He’s good for where he was drafted. Brice and Flip are nice picks too.

Cody is a ‘limited’ player, but last year’s draft as a whole isn’t a game-changer. Hendricks is a 3D big, which is fine.

What the Jazz lack is a franchise-defining Option 1a. They’re supposed to get that in next year’s draft.

Unfortunate reality: whatever we would hypothetically trade for Brown has a low likelihood of ever being as good as Brown. We’d be keeping that package under the hopes of the low-probability scenario.

But that’s not an endorsement of the deal. The only way out is through.

If only it was that simple.

It is also quite possible that the Jazz are actively in a deal for Brown but aren't the ones actually receiving Brown.

100% true. Just like the odds are not great of getting someone as good as Donny in what we got back are pretty high.

My guess at a deal. Hopefully they are smart and keep Sexton if they do this BS

Key, 5th pick, Collins, JC, KJ Martin and the Suns pick is like the lowest realistic price.

If the Jazz turn the 5th pick into multiple picks and take a player in the later lottery, that might be reasonable.

The draft deal we maybe should pursue... Williams in Chicago (who sucks) has a long and rough contract but I wonder if there is some salvage value there. John Collins and 21 for P Will and 12.

yessss. There are several prospects in the ~12 range that I really like.

This is quite a dumb idea. If the Jazz had all the pieces to make some serious noise next year, and still have assets to make that trade for Jalen Brown, then yes. But the Jazz are no where near that. The heck are the Ainge bozos doing?

You also have a perfect tank environment with every team in the West except for maybe NO not tanking. Kings could join the tank race... hear some rumblings they could sell off... but everyone is trying like hell to be competitive. Wait for some of them to hit the wall and profit off the tank... buy their **** when they give up.

I'm not even pro tank or anti-trade for star....but come on Ryan/Danny/Austin/Whoever. Now is not the time and Jaylen Brown is not the guy.

Isn’t that Suns pick unprotected and they’re a dumpster fire?

Jazz giving the Celtics the #1 pick would kill my relationship with the NBA forever

So… what if the guy the Jazz like in the later lottery is Demin, and he’s supposed to be our on-ball guy?

So it’s Demin, Brown, Lauri, Hendricks, Walker. That’s a decent group defensively.
