Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I knew @LoPo would come back for trade season... should be a spicy one... just stretch before you hit the trade machine... don't want you to pull anything. Good to have you back.
 
Yeah, that's what I saw as well. I thought that's what my post said but maybe I messed up and put first round picks instead of second.
The reason Vando has such wide appeal is because:

- He can fit a lot of different places as a bench piece.
- Hes a cheap vet rotation piece for 2 years.
- Most teams likely know he won't get a first on his own. So the price is right.

Hes a Used Honda Accord... will get a lot of looks and offers but you aren't selling him for the price of a Tesla.
 
We are. I was going off of Basketball Reference which is usually pretty spot on..... https://www.basketball-reference.com/contracts/
21Utah Jazz$150,749,265$134,111,459$43,470,744$30,237,463

But If you select Utah Jazz, it actually has us at $141 million.

Seems like they are about as rusty as I am. Maybe they have also taken about 6 months off from really caring.

So disregard my trade idea based off of saving cap money lol
I used this one: https://www.spotrac.com/nba/tax/. Warriors are set up for a tax bill of $170M... That's a significant sum of money.
 
If we can’t get first for these dudes then sweeten the pot with another player. Getting good draft picks and losing players is a win-win for us, as long as those players have no bearing on the long term planning.

I know Danny likes to get great deals, but I hope he doesn’t become paralyzed. Not making moves would be a disaster. Top 8 or better lottery odds are right there for us to take.

I personally wouldn't trade Vanderbilt, and I would trade Conley, but that recent report about Conley being happy might lead us to keeping him.

I guess for me it comes down to who is in the 3-5 year window for us. Hardy is new, but I'm sure he has his "type". Identify those guys we have and don't let them go. Keep Clarkson or Conley because they are both awesome dude vets, but trade the other.
