Off-Season Rumblings

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Cade is the guy I’m hoping Tony Jones was talking about that we almost traded for.

He’d also be thee perfect fit next to Sexton.

Except he is bad defensive player. So, you want two guards that are not good defensive players?

 

[KqWIN]

I think Cade is not that great. That package easily rivals the Don/Rudy packages. Might as well trade that for an actual star than the theoretical one.

He's not bad defensively, Detroit is

per Tony Jones on Sacramento radio

A team called the Jazz and made an offer for Lauri. The Jazz denied the offer and the team came back and asked what it would take to get him and Utah said they wouldnt say.

Also per Tony on the same radio show...

You can have John Collins for almost nothing as long as you have the matching money.

Per Tony again

Utah will be super aggressive in the trade market. At least one pick will be traded, possibly two and are willing to move 10 for a veteran. Tony said to expect anything.

I like the fit too, but our 2 top rookies from last year plus 4 first round picks seems too much to me to even consider it. Keyonte, Hendrix, #10 this year, plus one of the future firsts sounds fair to me. Cunningham is great player, but not a top 10 player in the league. He hasn't even been able to keep his team from being among the couple worst teams in the league. Just my 2 cents.

I think it sounds way too steep too, plus Cunningham is one year away from a very solid payday. We'd be giving up a bunch of players on rookie contracts.

For a brief moment, I read that as the Jazz willing to move 10 picks for a veteran and I assumed it could only be Dončić.

I'm fine if they use future picks and 1-2 of their youngsters to go after Cunningham. He's still only 22 and believe Hardy can squeeze alot of untapped potential. Other than a miraculous trade or doing some sort of tank for the '25 draft how many other ways do they have to acquire a potential franchise player? We don't have a guy under 25 on our roster with that type of potential. Cade isn't perfect but he's been in a really bad spot in Detroit where they never bothered to build a team around him the past 3 seasons. Chicago did the same thing with Lauri and wasted his first 4 years in the league. Some of these bad teams have no clue how to develop players so if the Jazz are in position to take advantage I say why not.

Agree with this. I'd do it, but shave off the LA pick and see if we could throw in JC instead of George.
