Potential Trade Targets

I think out of everything we have seen (smoke or legit rumors), the one that would make most sense has not been discussed a lot. I think there are chances that we might see a 3 team deal with the Knicks and Hawks.
  • Knicks get at least Calrkson and possibly Olynyk (makes salary matching harder though)
  • Hawks get Grimes and Fournier and 2 FRP (both from us)
  • We get DJM + salary (maybe sneak in AJ Griffin?)
There are some variations where Sexton might be sent out or where we give up a guy like Ochai, but I think these 3 teams are right now very natural trade partners for a trade that benefits all.

Jazz perspective:
We get the starting guard upgrade we need with a guy who matches with Lauri age-wise, has AS upside and is tied up in a team friendly deal for multiple years going forward.

Hawks perspective:
They get picks plus two players they could use right now and one of them they are reportedly interested in (Grimes) who fits well with Trae. Fournier also helps them create capspace going forward. They are playing guys like Wesley Matthews and Garrison Mathews rn, plus trading DJM leaves an even bigger hole in their guard rotation so getting 2 back would probably help them.

Knicks perspective:
Why wouldn't Knicks go straight for DJM? For one that would cost more, and they dont necessarily want to mess up their starting lineup. They get to keep their assets for a bigger swing and JC team friendly contract can possibly be used in that trade.
 
Giving up JC plus the CLYNYK plus 2 firsts for DJM feels very rich.

I expect a THT for Cedi Osman or another expiring fringe deal. But if there isn't a deal then maybe we just let THT rot on the bench as an expiring. Shrug. Sucks to be him I guess. I would think other teams see value in him.

DJM was an All-Star last time he was in a lead guard role, and he is gonna make 20M+ below max money per year for 3.5 years (+1 year PO).

So compare that to Siakam trade, who plays a more desirable position but is gonna command max money and has his own deficiencies as well, and it seems quite fair.

I don't think there is a way to get KO in the deal with salaries. That said it depends on which 1sts.

But I would gladly do that deal. KO and Clarkson dont seem like the would net a decent 1st and are not really key figures for the team going forward. KO probably walks after this season if we dont trade him. I guess we will see with those two though. But if you figure its 2 1sts and a few seconds thats a no brainer for DJM.

You think GS is giving up Looney, Podz, and Moody for KO?

Podz? You didn't see it correctly.

It would help them get money off the books for next year while still giving them a win now player this year. If Moody is the hold up then try and find other salary filler or send them seconds to make it work.
 
DJM isn't getting moved. The only trades that will happen will be for bench players. No starters get moved.

Why would we let Knicks in this deal with only Grimes? No way Knicks get JC AND KO with only Grimes. They need to give up at least one FRP or two.
 
The more I look at the deadline, the more I’m convinced we should move KO for the best deal we can get for expirings… get a pick in the 30s and another second and move JC to NY for Fournier and Grimes. If we get something else then great. Between the KO caphold and Jc’s deal we would have 28M more to play with in FA.

So JC/KO for Grimes, a pile of seconds, and $20m+ more in space to play with. I see the Woj report in not many sellers, not a lot of interest in 2024 draft, etc and I see opportunities now and in the offseason.
