Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[hgb]

Did you watch the Mavs game? This group is past the honeymoon stage of being underdogs.

I did, and it was miserable. I think they had the deadline in the back of their heads, though, and besides, I want Mike here next year too if the value we get is a swap that very quickly might not even happen. If Zion is back, Pelicans will rise in the standings for sure.

They are an inch away from being out of the tax. They will send out more salary than they take in... Vando for Thybulle and the second rounder.

Got it.

I guess that could make sense then. I'd just rather get someone young and interesting out of it. Springer is like an unrealized Marcus Smart so I think DA might want that. I'd try to figure out a way to make it work.

The swap 100% happens. The swap is with the Philly/Brooklyn pick and the worse of the NOP and Laker pick.

An NBA player with actual connections vs a Jazz radio guy. Hmm… tough call on who to trust more.

I am guessing you are the life of the party that everyone flocks to hang out with smh
I'd like to meet the bitch that ****ed you up

My guess it would be Thybulle and enhancing the Jazz's 2023 HOU/PHI/BKN pick to be in the 2nd position and a 2RP.

That enhanced pick would be a tiny bit sweeter for a Laker deal.

Isnt the trade that got us the pick with BKN? Philly would have no ability to change anything here as far as I know.

JJ isnt really in the breaking news business. If he said it, I think it's likely coming from a genuine place. He's well liked and well connected. Doesnt really need the clout.

I disagree. When someone is completely outside of the reporting business, they have no standard of what they "report". This doesn't mean what he heard isn't real or legitimate, but it could very easily just be gossip. Disregarding how "legit" JJ is, what I don't think makes sense about what he says is that it could be done well before the deadline. I think it will go down to the buzzer, but the Jazz are also likely holding multiple deals in hand so maybe they do want to get the Lakers deal done early.

JJ doesn't have much to gain from this which is a good point, but everyone likes to give out secrets. The Jazz radio guys, however, come off as desperate guys looking for attention and hoping they look extremely smart afterwards. I don't believe anything they say.

Also the Pels stars are all fragile. They migh break back into the top 4 of the west, but they also might get injured into the play in.

Eh that is pretty standard for wives when the marriage goes on long enough.

Like a virgin? lol

Ok, I concede that it's very likely to happen, but I also think it's pretty likely to be 26th for 23rd or something like that. Then again, if Zion and/or BI are out for another extended period of time, it could be 26th for a much better pick, so I do see the upside.

I'd definitely want more, though.

We could take both back.

I loved Springer out of the draft. I think we could get Springer and Thybulle for Vando. Haven't looked at the exact numbers, but maybe moving off of Spring would allow PHI to get into the buyout market and add one more player.

I'd say the gap closes but I think it will at least be 5 spots and could be as many as 10. Zion isn't coming back before AS break I believe.
