Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz


I’m not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but I would love a Vanderbilt/Duarte swap with Indiana. No clue if they would do that but I would love it.
 


We take back Westbrook and Harris. We send out Conley/Clarkson/Beasley/Olynyk.

I’m not sure on the dynamics of the trade but the Nets could get Conley/Clarkson plus either Beasley or Olynyk. Beasley or Olynyk goes to the Lakers with Kyrie. If the Lakers are worried about adding to their luxury tax bill we could take back two of their minimum salaries.

The Nets get rid of some bad salary with sending Harris to us. Conley/Clarkson plus Beasley or Olynyk helps them win now. They also save 3.9M this year.

Lakers get Kyrie plus another quality player for their two picks. They could save 1M if they sent two minimum players to us.

We get two unprotected picks or maybe one is lightly protected and clear a bunch of salary at the end of the season.

It just makes too much sense for all three teams.
This is what I have been touting since kyrie asked for a trade.

The only things that challenge this are...

If the nets want the picks (which, why grab picks when you have Durant unless you plan to punt this year and blow it up).

Or, if another team blows you away with more.

I don't see the Nets wanting Westbrook. Even if they did, they could risk getting Westbrook on a buyout after grabbing Conley, Clarkson, and Vanderbilt all at a lower tax bill.

I think folks are giving up too much from the Jazz perspective. Sure two picks from LA are good, but the Jazz value Conley, Clarkson, Beasley, and possibly Vando at 1 frp each. So only two of those guys should be in the trade.

Are the nets willing to take Conley and Beasley or Clarkson for Kyrie? Im not giving them more than two of those players, because that’s all the value the lakers are sending.

Jazz can send matching salary to the lakers with Doke and/or Balmaro and Gay.

Jazz still retain Olynyk and Vando and they still have either Clarkson or beasley for more deals.

It’s really the nets and lakers that should feel the pressure here- no need for the Jazz to overpay in the slightest. Plus what are the Jazz gonna do with a bunch of cap room anyway. Nobody comes here in free agency, remember?

If I wanted to compete now, I’d definitely want Conley, Clarkson and Vanderbilt over the picks. Hope the Nets agree. . .
