What's new

Trade deadline discussion

**** it lets go for elite defense. Trade Conley, Clarkson, Azubuike, and Hughes for Simmons, Green, and Thybulle. We have enough offense to carry them. This gives us a longer future to compete as well.

Ingles can finish his Jazz career like he started it trying help another Aussie.
 
Holly ****! How did none of us here catch that before now?
As in discussions about race, Coronavirus, religion, watching Jordan Clarkson, or really anything else, we're prone to seeing what we want to see, believing what we want to believe the more we're emotionally invested. Takes effort to fight against that tendency.


(Sorry to be didactic; it's an occupational hazard.)
 
The real reports are that Grant he has provided Detroit with a list of teams, but his reported criteria is getting PAID. I’ve not actually seen a list of teams.

So…not Utah.
 
I am not good at coming up with trades but this looks feasible.

Jazz trade: Clarkson, Dok, 2nd rounder
Jazz get: Covington

Dallas trade: Reggie Bullock, 2nd rounder
Dallas get: Clarkson

Portland trade: Covington
Portland get: Bullock, Dok and 2 2nd rounders

Jazz get an impactful defender and get size hoping Ingles, Royce, Covington have enough length to shrink the floor.

Dallas needs someone to score when Luka sits. Hardaway, their best bench scorer missing time creates some urgency but even if he comes back this season it means they have more freedom to play him with Luka.

Portland save save money this season, get some value on an expiring. They may exchange Dok with Hughes to save more money. They hope to recuperate Bullock.
 
Hoopshype saying Barnes is on Jazz radar ..

Another good fit …

Started the season well for kings , but has dropped off since coach change and kings play in general nose dived .

I could see him being a decent fit and upgrade over Royce in the starting lineup. Overall, I wouldn't be thrilled by that deal depending on what the cost is. I would imagine it would take a 1st and an expiring. Or we would lose Joe's expiring and Clarkson. That's a whole lot of heart and soul leaving the building right there.
 
So Smart, Collins, and Grant are all part of rumors and are available. Honestly, I like all three due to their contracts, athleticism, ages, and skill sets. I would love to get one, two or even all 3 of these guys if there was that type of miracle.

Move out Conley, Clarkson, Bogey or Royce, filler + picks and generate a multi-team trade to bring those guys here.

I think Conley gets us Smart plus assets (probably Schroder and a pick), but I don't think he would get us Grant.

Maybe Bojan and the assets from a Conley for Smart deal can get us Grant in a three team deal.

The only way we can get Collins is by trading Rudy. I don't think we are ready to consider that yet but you never know.
