Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[YoungJefe]

Nobody wants Lowry lmao.

The Clippers might if they miss on Conley.

The Lakers might balk on the pick cost of that trade, but Conley, Beasley and Vanderbilt are exactly the type guys that team needs.

And they save almost $5 million in salaries which equates to how much in luxury? $10-15 million total in savings?

I think they’d probably pivot towards FVV.

Shams said it's something that we've been discussing. One pick for three guys that could potentially be starters isn't that bad.

I’ll even take it if it’s top-4 protected or something.

Not only that... their rumored cap space next year was always a bit of a farce. If they did use space then tried to trade the picks for an upgrade they would have no functional salary to attach the picks to. So getting those guys is actually a big benefit. If Kyrie flames out in Dallas they could use Mike/Beasley and the leftover pick to do a sign and trade for him. If they just keep Russ their roster gets rough real fast.

The Jazz should consider holding a few of these guys out of games this week. Would suck to see a good deal blown up by an injury.

Both teams should want it unprotected... if it rolls forward it complicates other deals. Just do it nice and clean.

The Lakers lack depth and selflessness. Conley is a total team guy. Vanderbilt is the ultimate selfless guy. Beasley is a shooter for a team that desperately needs to spread the floor for LBJ and AD.

If the Lakers only give up one protected pick (maybe protected for only #1 or something), they would be idiots. I don't see a better value trade to help them right now.

I'd prefer an unprotected pick since we're sending back three starting level players and taking on/saving them from the Russ deal.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Do it... that pick is worth more than the protected picks.... the tank gets moving... LA maybe passes Minny? Sneak in a pick swap with the Philly pick, a second rounder, or make them take Gay in the deal if you need a sweetner.

Easy money.

Conley, Beasley, Vando and either Gay or NAW for Westbrook (buyout), Wenyen Gabriel, Troy Brown and Max Christie - plus their 27 pick and a pick swap between the Lakers/Pels and Nets/76ers picks this year.

Gotta include a 4th player to keep the Jazz under the tax line. If the Jazz can make this deal, they should be ecstatic.

If I'm the Lakers, I protect it for 1st overall and that's it.
