Oni traded to Thunder

Perhaps what this deal will do is prevent us from being able to salary dump Udoka, a relatively larger contract.
don't worry, as soon as we give away the first we owed to Memphis from the Conley deal, we'll have our 2025 and 2026 2nd rounders available for trade.
I'm sure FO are saving these two picks for the inevitable Doke salary dump this summer.

2022 first round draft pick to Memphis
Utah's 1st round pick to Memphis protected for selections 1-6 in 2022, 1-3 in 2023 and 1 in 2024; if Utah has not conveyed a 1st round pick to Memphis by 2024, then Utah will instead convey its 2025 2nd round pick and 2026 2nd round pick to Memphis [Memphis-Utah, 7/6/2019]
 

If Ken is correct (and I'm not sure he is), an advantage of trading with OKC (compared to most anyone else) is that Oni gets his full salary paid, instead of being immediately cut. Maybe that's a parting gift from the Jazz to Oni?
 
If true that should help morale in the locker room knowing Oni was taken care of.

Also crazy how south his stock went with the team after a rough playoffs. He wasnt great in the regular season but he was holding his man to one of the lowest percentages in the NBA and hitting threes okay. Then his career was over. Best of luck to him, I hope we use his spot for something much better.

I wonder if not playing summer league this year really hurt his stock with Quin and the FO.
