Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Long-term I think it is fine if the Jazz only get one pick and a swap. It would remove the fear of doing business with the Jazz. I think it is worth it with the several deals the Jazz have to do over the next two years. However, strategically I think the swap from the Lakers is more important than the 2027 pick.

What if the Pels and the Lakers are out of the Lottery? I know it is a small chance but what if the Lakers, Pels, Jazz, and Wolves are all in the Lottery? Some team is going to win it and if it one of the ones we have picks and swaps for, the Jazz greatly benefit. That could mean an allstar or a superstar. The Jazz need one quickly not 6 years from now. Doing this Laker deal if we have the swap enhances that probability even if it is minor. So yeah, I am willing to have the team hosed for that increased chance.
 
We will see... who did they try to sign this summer? I bet we could do quite a bit better than Vando/Beasley production with $30M in space if we use it to sign players.

Clarkson is better than vando and beasley and could be had for less than 30 million right?

Just offer to throw Olynyk Minnesota’s way and tell them to parlay him into the draft capital they’re looking for.
Also this is where I throw out that maybe just maybe in the THT and KO deals we should have gotten some seconds to sweeten this deal to get it done. This is where those things matter
 
I'm fine with one pick as long as it's unprotected.

Unprotected picks generally don't get traded in this league unless it's for a star.
They didn't get traded for a long time at all... GMs forgot why... the next few years they will be reminded why.

Utah should not be the one sweetening it tho. That's on the Lakers. They are getting a ton back for just one pick (hopefully a swap too, those things are left out in the major early reporting talks often).
