Jazz trade John collins

Happy for Collins. Huge cash money savings for UTA. Good trade as long as we don’t plan to play Anderson or Love much.

Do the Jazz waive both?

OK Can somebody explain this trade in more detail please

Guessing we waive / buyout both? Plus pick up a second?

Sure.

 

[Park Bites]

I just looked up and Anderson has 2 years on his contract. Yuck.

 

[SoUjazzfan]

Collins will again be playing some meaningful basketball. Good for him. Plus more minutes for the young guys, I'm all in.

Anderson and Love combined make less than $14M. That is just a little bit more than half what Collins makes. So the Jazz have saved almost half of what Collins makes in money + whatever they could get back in potential buyouts.

Additionally, the Jazz should open up a TPE close to $20M. This could be useful if the Jazz wanted to make a run at a RFA like Kuminga in S&T.

The last year is not guaranteed.

OK This is sounding better
So this might mean more trades coming?

Could be….not expecting it though. A TPE lasts a year so it could be used at a later time for a RFA S&T or salary dump.

Realistically, this is just a huge money savings for UTA. The other option would have been waiving/buying out Collins which would have cost more. They also could have kept him, but I don’t think the Jazz wanted him back.

lol so the net return on the Collins acquisition is a 2nd round pick?

I was hoping to get at least two, but it's w/e. The team is now fully ready to do an organic tank without needing to worry about sitting players

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I've been saying since last year Collins is an ideal fit for the Clippers

 

[Jaanipoeg]

Still would've thought he had more value coming into the off-season, but after the Sexton trade I am fine.

Happy the JCs and Sexton have been set free and we can focus on the youth movement + Lauri

Final year is non-guaranteed

Wont be shocked if we keep K'Love. I think he really likes Utah (he's an outdoorsy guy) and it would be good to have a vet. I dont think he's good enough anymore for a contender to want him.

 

[KqWIN]

Anderson can still hoop. I wonder if there is a team out there with interest in him. Could fit into a lot of exceptions. But if he’s cooked, he’s a good vet to keep around.

Love might retire or want to get bought out. Either is fine, but he is also a good vet who loves Park City.

Did the Heat own the Clippers 2027 pick? Because they gave up kind of a nothing burger for Norm Powell.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Ok now trade Lauri if possible. I could use newish shoes

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Well the vets are gone - good

They were worth absolutely NOTHING - bummer

Organic tank incoming. All I really wanted for next season
