Trade deadline discussion

NO said to want CJ/Powell/Gordon.... do they turn their attention to JC.

I really think this means CJ is not getting moved. This feels like getting some stuff and clearing some room and playing time for Simons

Donovan likes JC too much.

What someone made sense. JC/Royce were never in trade rumors but everyone else was. Why is that? Donovan Mitchell is pulling the string behind the scenes and leaking who he wants traded.

They are in such a good spot right now. This makes them way better today and way better next season regardless of if they resign Roco or not. It's a win on all fronts for them. Some might say Powell is a negative deal when that contract reaches the later stages....but it's definitely not a negative deal for the next 3 or so years they have left when their window is open with Kawhi and PG. Masterpiece by their FO.

I mean....I guess they lost Keon Johnson, but a player drafted in the 20's has a <50% of making the rotation and they prefer Boston Jr. anyways. Keon would have just rotted there (he's been pretty bad in the G-League too FWIW).

You have to think the Jazz could have had this package themselves. Keon+a second is nothing.

I mean you know we wouldn't want to take on the extra salary this year... that was a big part of Portland's motivation. I do agree... we could have done this.

Powell's deal is not negative... just risky because of length. He could stay healthy and productive the whole time and it is just fine. It's just more than you'd want to pay for a third guard but he's a really good third guard. I'd have tried to move CJ instead personally.

If they would have swapped Powell for JC I'd have driven to Portland to pick Norman up.

Somebody also said that Don and Rudy had issues right now which Don shot down in the last couple hours.

Can't believe everything you read I guess.
 
This does mean that Luke Kennard is available. Watching them last night I said to myself "luke is so slow and unathletic.... holy hell he will be a Jazz man someday".

Please don't do this Jazz.

We could have figured out a way for both us and POR to duck money. It really comes down to the future assets LAC was able to scrounge up, and I definitely think we could have matched that. I would have been willing to do Bogey(sent somewhere else for expiring + stuff) and Ingles for Powell and Covington. Covington is obviously in a better state than Ingles right now, and Powell is kind of a younger version of Bogey....or would function the same way. But if you're dead set on keeping Bogey, the Jazz could have probably done something similar with Royce, JC, or a protected pick. Many ways to get to the same destination. Having Powell+Covington on this roster would help us out a ton.
