Potential Walker Trade Discussion

Organizations rarely come out (or have their chosen mouthpieces) come out and say “WE ARE TANKING.” Almost never. The language usually used is “developing young players.”

The Jazz have also tanked their asses off down the stretch two years in a row, so we should maybe not pretend that they’re above it.
I wasnt say they are above tanking, but they arent going to get rid of young talented players to lose more games.

I think it's basically the same as the last two years, just that they are getting progressively younger in that 3 year stretch.
 
I think Clarkson is the next domino to fall and it likely won’t be until trade deadline. At that point, they move Sexton to 6 man and Cody to starting 2. They’ll need intel on how Keyonte, Tay and Cody are gelling around Lauri.
 
It sounds like he thinks they could get Kessler for essentially nothing. I think he has more value than that.
Yeah, he said a first rounder. I think it would probably have to be two. But maybe the Bucks pick in 2027 is good enough by itself to get it done.
 
If the Pelicans make a move for Kessler, they will end up under the luxury tax somehow. They have never paid the tax and are not going to miss out on a record allocation. If a deal gets done, I would imagine it would be 27+JRE+Hawkins or 27+JRE+Missi.
