Prediction: Jazz Will Trade at Least One Rookie Contract Player on Draft Night

[Elizah Huge]

For Kessler? Only if they put up Reaves which they won’t.

Don’t think the Bulls have any use for Key.

I don’t know why it combined those two lol. I was typing that out yesterday.

For Kessler they absolutely do. Turn our 2027 protected first into a pick swap.

2026/2031 firsts plus 2028/2030/2032 pick swaps plus Dalton Knecht.

Ok not bad.

Trade Cody to OKC for #15.

Let his brother rehabilitate him.

Keyonte + 21 to the Bulls for 12

The Lakers do have the assets though.

Who do we target at 12?

I don't think anybody would give up that type of pick for Cody after the season he had.

If Cody gets dealt, I think it's a sweetener/salary matcher type inclusion.

I don't really want Dalton Knecht.

None of these guys have any trade value.

Nice job, Danny.

Key is a 17 and 6, mildly inefficient 21 year old second year player. he has value. It's also why I wouldn't trade him now.

I see that you carefully avoided mentioning any of defensive stats.

i didn't carefully avoid any unreliable stats. defensive stats are largely a joke. that said, i'll admit key isn't a good defender and needs to be better. most young guys aren't good defenders.

I mean, OK, but Keyonte was not a highly regarded prospect entering the NBA because teams thought he was way too small to play NBA caliber defense at SG and Keyonte has responded by being arguably the worst defender in the NBA these last two years.

His defensive tools are awful and his performance has been worse. Keyonte managed to get benched on a 17 win team.

Maybe it's time to widen your perspective?

The kid came into the best league in the world and started taking reps as the lead guard—something that was a big stretch for him. There were times when he really rose to the challenge. And there were times he didn't do so well. Obviously. Unsurprisingly.

Anyone who isn't interested to see what what his 3rd year looks like—especially if he's playing more at a natural position—needs to have their poopy diaper changed asap.
