Jazz Suns trade

[HadAnEffectHere]

I mean, we have DO have too many picks to actually use and 7 players that couldn’t buy alcohol before the start of the season. But what if that Suns pick is ***? What if we just gave them a lifeline to avoid bottoming out which is what would make that pick so juicy.

They're about to trade for Jimmy Butler and give him a max contract, that is the exact opposite of a lifeline.

That Phoenix 2031 pick is probably one of the best assets available in the NBA right now. The jazz could keep it or flip it for something pretty valuable.

 

[NUMBERICA]

We really need Phoenix to be better this year.

Are you referring to the implications with the Minnesota pick? Or is there something else?

I think it's safe to say that they're bottomed-out by '31.

I hope so. I have a tough time seeing how they do the deal, still, since the Heat didn’t want Beal a year and a half ago and he has that NTC.

The Jazz are consolidating their first-round picks acquired in the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades in 2022. Including the 2031 unprotected first from Phoenix, Utah now has 11 first-round picks in the next seven years.

Yeah, that Minnesota pick would be better with Jimmy on the Suns.

I don't see what three late 1st-round picks are going to do for Phoenix here.
The Jazz are probably going to be good in '29.
The Cavs' pick this year is going to be #29 or #30 in a meh draft.
The pick in '27 is probably going to be another Cavs pick in the 20s.

Yeah, I think they need to like do cascading salary dumps to turn Beal's contract into an expiring they can get send to the Heat.

I'm guessing Ben Simmons ends up in Miami in this trade.

They are likely going to a facilitator team to take on bad salary.

Only way I come out of this think that the Jazz did poorly is if it looks like the facilitator team got out better and we could have done the same thing.

The Jazz are in a better position now nonetheless.

Okay, so maybe the Suns have to attach two FRPs to move Beal.

No it's not. Sure, it's probably better than an average 2031 pick right now. But there are absolutely no guarantees how any team will be performing six years from now.
