Lakers-Jazz Trade

[Handlogten's Heros]

Bogey could be sent to Phoenix for Crowder + Saric + 2024 unprotected 1st.

Crowder then gets routed to the Lakers with Conley plus their choice of Beasley or Clarkson.

We get Westbrook + Saric + 3 unprotected 1sts.

It all works salary wise around 900k for each team exact matching salary wildly enough.

Sub in Shamet for Saric and I think Phoenix is good. Landry only has 2 years of his 4 year deal guaranteed.

If LA only gives up 1 pick in that scenario then lakers are probably good. Though I don't think Lebron is cool with Jae.

Locke said he thinks the Jazz will have between 18 and 19 1st round picks between now and 2029.

Locke thought it would be awesome to watch Westbrook play for a tanking Jazz team.

I’d do it. Maybe we keep Crowder and they take Conley/Beasley/Clarkson if it’s a problem.

I think Jae would have many suitors.

I think Jae would have many suitors.

Yes. For the record I’d do the Lakers deal for one pick and if we could get two that’s even better obviously. Maybe we settle for one and a pick swap.

I think Phoenix def needs to do something though. Gotta change the vibes a bit. Not sure Jae is the guy to move but his name been in rumors.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Too many of y’all are getting cold feet about tanking or wanna **** around about it.

I'm all for it if we can beat Indiana's offer and still get the two firsts. Anything less and yeah, cold feet.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

I mean they could have done that deal weeks ago... but haven't... hmmmm.

They just playin hard to get while Indy and us just trying to seduce em enough to get to "second" base with em.

I'm higher on Vando now that we got Markkannen. I would fight to not include him in a trade.

I invented this take

I would also be willing to include Jared Butler (he's an expiring) in any deal, especially if we get Westbrook and Nunn.

Bogey, Conley (they can waive him next Summer if they need the cap space - 5 year stretch it would be only a 2.5 cap hit), Jordan Clarkson, Butler > Westbrook + Nunn + Draft Capital.

The Lakers cap hit next year would be just 15 million (dropping from 52 million the previous year).

I would include Vando if it meant more quality draft capital. But that cap hit would hurt them.

We could get super fancy and pick up Nunn in a TPE. Then do a 5 year stretch (renogiated to substract the minimum) so the Jazz stay under the tax and Nunn is free to resign back with the Lakers at the minimum for the year. This drops their tax bill this year and next. Jeanie Buss loves this player.

Feels like a Jazz/Lakers trade is inevitable. I could see it happening any day now.]
