Trade deadline discussion

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah, if they just trade him to save money, that's an awful look for Ainge starting this role with us.

I don't know why we wouldn't be allowed to bring back Joe in a "non-player" role if he is waived/bought out by a team we trade him to. But at that point, does he even want to come back and sit on our bench while he recovers?

This whole situation sucks.

I'm not sure if they have to file retirement paperwork before being a team employee... like there may be some rules around it to avoid circumvention. I have no idea how that works.

Yeah. I'm trying to research to know if there is precedent. I would imagine he would have to officially retire.

Jordan Clarkson and Doke for Ricky Rubio and a 1st. Who says no?

Let’s get an asset, maybe duck the tax next year, and give Joe an old buddy on the bench (while ******** out fewer ****** possessions).

Didn’t Rubio suffer his own season ending injury?

Bill Simmons had a brief excerpt on his pod today and talked about Jazz and trade stuff. He mentioned quietly JC's name was out there... Not much to it but its the first we have heard of JC's name being out there.

I don't recommend we do anything drastic at the deadline. I would be very reluctant to trade JB. He's started hitting shots and I think he will be more necessary with Joe out. I think it will be harder to live with Forrest's offense without Joe.

Go ahead and position yourself cap wise and player wise for something... but do not throw a pick in trying to chase something that just ain't happening. Head the advice of TLC.... don't go chasing waterfalls.

I'm so glad to know JC's name is at least out there. I've been so frustrated because it seemed like they weren't even shopping him at all and it made absolutely no sense.

If shedding money was the train of thought, let's....

Trade Clarkson for Satoransky and a handful of 2nd rounders (we save $2.5 million in salaries this year and Sato is an expiring)

then

Trade Bojan for Rubio, their 2022 1st and the Houston 2022 2nd rounder they have (save another $3+ million in salaries and Rubio is an expiring).

Without Bojan and Clarkson for 2022-23, we would be at around $110 million which is well below the luxury line. And we would have Conley's expiring.

I wouldn't do both of these deals, but if you're looking for cost cutting...

Ricky's done for the year too. He tore his ACL.

I’m looking to dump a player that actively makes us (much) worse, get an asset, and save money (next year).

That Bojan deal is insane.

I agree.

I also wouldn't trade Clarkson for no value back at all for this season.

What message would sending out an able player for a player out for the year when we just lost Ingles for the year?

That it’s a basketball decision and addition by subtraction. Cuz it certainly will be if he doesn’t suddenly revert back to the previous two years’ form.

For us fans yes. We see it as clearing some money and playing somebody younger. For guys like Rudy, Mike and Don, they would probably be pissed if we dumped Clarkson away for nothing that helps this year.

We are in such an incredibly tight spot right now. Emotions are high. The world is crumbling. If you trade away Clarkson for an injured expiring player and a pick, might as well trade Conley and Bojan too.

I said nothing about that. I’m simply stating the fact that Jordan Clarkson has been kamikaze-ing games. The players love him but they know it too. Unless he’s hot, he’s more destructive than CJ Miles at his worst. Like I already said, probably more than ten times in different ways, Clarkson just makes the Jazz worse. Period. Full stop. Point blank. Addition by subtraction.

We’ve traded or moved on from more useful players from more tight-knit teams.

You can also use that 1st in a trade.
