Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Tony Jones had an article this AM… mostly the same stuff we keep hearing… couple tidbits…

They have an offer from a western conference team for Vando that includes multiple seconds… I’m guessing this is the Portland offer and instead of Hart or something else I am guessing it’s Winslow and multiple seconds… pretty meh.

They had an offer earlier for Mike for expiring contracts… this may have been clips… if I’m guessing.

Sounds like we could find a path to cap space if we want.
So not really a ton of interest in our guys it seems...
 
If these are the options for Jazz ”improving” I’d rather stay put and look for next season.

Or is there another 2-3 first picks coming?
Staying put and keeping the pieces we have already deemed incompatible is the worst thing we can do. Beasley and Vando are likely not gonna grow value in backup / spot minute roles. Also keeping things as they are is gonna mean we likely wont make the playoffs or the top 10 odds in the lottery, so we end up in between and still have the same trade pieces in the offseason just with less value on them.

Imagine, if you can, a world wherein we had collected multiple seconds between the THT and Bojan trades, making today’s reports completely meaningless.
 
Either we try to get in players to evaluate (my preferred option) or then just ship out pieces for assets that dont lose value (hopefully even gain it). And I'm like 90% sure thats what DA will do, as coming into the season he said the first priority is to evaluate everyone. Now the next priority is on, and that is building up and around what we have.
 
Other tidbits from TJ's article:
• Jazz aren't going to trade players just to trade them, we're looking for good deals.
• Mike Conley is fine staying and only wants to be traded to a contender.

I’m replaying THT clips in my head as “Imagine” plays in the background… single tear ran down my cheek.
 
I'm fairly certain that they are just feeding him the deals they aren't even considering. They would keep mum on the stuff that has a chance.
Or fallback deals… like those deals are on the table if nothing else comes through.
 
Winslow and 2nds for JV is just doing a trade for doing a trade sake.
I am not the #1 Vando fan. I don't think you "need" to trade him but I do think his value is highest right now. It doesn't likely decline either. I think I'd be more intrigued to see Winslow than Vando at this point... the seconds are fine too. I'd do it if nothing else came around. If it makes Dame happy I'm okay with that little side benefit.
