Would anyone trade 16 + 2027 Lakers 1st top-4 protected to move up to 10?

If I can get Tay Henny and Wallace I’d consider it fo sho.

I am also cool seeing what player slides to us. Not sure Hawkins gets that far but I’d love to draft him… at 16 Bufkin or Keyonte should be there… both guys I’d consider too.

Me neither. That’s essentially what guys are arguing when they say we shouldn’t have traded Conley to Minnesota though.

If Conley himself is worth 4 more wins than Russell out of 24 games (I don’t think he is) then the best their pick could have ended up is tied for 10th with Dallas. Plus our pick would be worse than 9th. We likely end up in a play-in game if we kept Conley.

Lu Dort is bigger/longer and more physically imposing than Wallace. What Mike Conley does is pretty irrelevant to Cason Wallace because Wallace isn't that skilled. If he becomes that skilled in several years, then it becomes a conversation. But I don't think Cason Wallace is a top-10 prospect in this draft.

I generally think your takes are decent but this is beyond bad.

He would have hurt our pick too. It’s really the Lakers that effed us by being dumb and wanting Russell over Conley.

If we could get up to like 7 or 8 I might consider it, but I just don't think I could part with that Lakers pick to only move up to 10th.

To be clear, though, it can simultaneously true that:
-The Jazz saved the Timberwolves season
-The Jazz saved their own tank job
-The Jazz got the best asset in the trade
-The Jazz probably could've executed something before the season that would've been better
