The Athletic: Jazz Unlikely to Move Royce for 1st Rounder due to Donny Boy

[Nate505]

What first rounder though? Lotto pick? Then maybe. Late first rounder? Then hell no. Royce is worth way more than just a late first rounder. Even though Royce ain't no starter in this league, he's a solid rotation /high end bench guy. 70% of the guys selected in late first round never get to that level.

That's also a fair take. If this is just about trading Royce for the 28th pick, then I'm far less than outraged. And that's probably about his market now. At that point as much as I gripe about some of his shortcomings, he still is probably better than that.

I hope Don's happy.
