nope, the jazz are tanking this year. DA learned his lesson and he wants that top 10 pick.
I don’t think so but all the reporting is that we want the pick to convey next year… so maybe Ainge is pump faking us.nope, the jazz are tanking this year. DA learned his lesson and he wants that top 10 pick.
They need to cut $10M in payroll though... that's a big part of the trade.I honestly don't think it should take more than one pick. He's an expiring and with the amount of money and grief we save them either absorbing him outright or sending a cheaper player is huge. I still think sending JC on an opt-in/extend-and-trade (officially in July so Clarkson can get the bigger raises) is a better value play for them and keeps the asset alive. Or Sexton, but I think they're going to want some size.
I think it will be one of the following:According to Windhorst, Atlanta’s management is under a mandate to get under the luxury tax.
They gave up 3 picks and a swap to get him, they arent goin to give him away.I honestly don't think it should take more than one pick.

Oh ****, for some reason I thought he was making $27 million and not $17.They need to cut $10M in payroll though... that's a big part of the trade.
Getting way under the tax, a huge TPE, and a 1st is not exactly giving him away considering they are in serious danger of losing him for nothing in a year anyway.They gave up 3 picks and a swap to get him, they arent goin to give him away.
It's a weird situation.Getting way under the tax, a huge TPE, and a 1st is not exactly giving him away considering they are in serious danger of losing him for nothing in a year anyway.
Conversely, sending two picks for an expiring contract feels rich to me. I guess if they have the renegotiate-and-extend nailed down prior then it's different.
It's a weird situation.
It's not as meme'd, but I think the Murray trade was far worse than the Gobert trade.
He's a Klutch guy. I would be shocked if he wants to go to Utah.Listened to Locked on Hawks cuz Fisher was on there. Mentioned Murray again and one thing he said... Dejounte and his reps will be given some say in where they go... he referenced Pascal having Haynes send the message that he won't resign if moved from Toronto. Makes sense since he can tell a potential acquirer that he will or won't re-sign. So this made me think that he is definitely on the block (as are many Hawks) and gave me some comfort in that if we trade for him his reps, Hardy, and others have signed off on it. It may also drive the price down. I don't see a super wide market for him with teams that can absorb the salary. I don't think the cost would be wild.
May not want to stay forever but I'm sure he'd like the payday. I don't know that his stock gets a boost playing alongside Trae if he wants to play it out. Orlando, SA, Houston, Sacramento, the other teams with space... maybe a couple others. IDK man... I think its a decent match if the other stuff lines up.He's a Klutch guy.

Sure, but Utah wouldnt trade for him if he wont commit to staying and I dont think they would outright lie to Utah about their commitment.May not want to stay forever but I'm sure he'd like the payday.

It's not as meme'd, but I think the Murray trade was far worse than the Gobert trade. At least with the Gobert trade there's some pathway for it all to work out kind of. This Atlanta **** just feels dead in the water to me. They threw away all those assets for two first round wins and now they may have to lose him after a season.
Right... so he may want to commit enough that he signs and sticks around a few years. If we trade for him it is with the understanding he will sign long term. I honestly don't think he or Klutch have a big problem coming here if there is a payday and a good role with a decent team. If it doesn't happen that may be an indicator that Klutch said hell no.Sure, but Utah wouldnt trade for him if he wont commit to staying and I dont think they would outright lie to Utah about their commitment.
