1. I don't like this trade, but I guess I trust that this is the best way Danny felt he could reach his goals, and he seems pretty good at what he does.
2. I honestly think that there might be some "saving face" for Minny by the Jazz with those second rounders. Counting Kessler we got 5 quality FRP plus a swap for Gobert, with the first lootbox being a special "super rare" and probably worth the trade all by itself. I'm not going to begrudge Minny a couple second rounders.
3. If I am honest, we were trying to sneak Vando and Beasley out the door before they deteriorated even further. I'm actually kinda more bummed about NAW. I thought we could get him on a good contract as a quality backup.
4. Giving the Lakers a bit of life is probably a good idea for us right now. (maybe push down our own and Minny's picks, Deny a higher pick to NO)
45 What the Hell we gonna do with Clarkson and Olynyk?

if we are in the top 4 this draft it wont be the Wolves pick smh. they just got better adding Mike not worse, and we obviously are now ful tank mode in the minds of this front office.
BUT don't be surprised of they trade Sexton and or Clarkson as I doubt either are good with being tank commanders at this point. If they don't I bet both of those guys win us some games even if the Finnisher and Kessler have manufactued injuries or some other tank bs

All it takes is for one big name FA to sign with them in 2025/26 for them to be good which has happened numerous times before. Betting against the Lakers surely won't be the smartest thing in the world.
In what regard. What will be the tell tale sign?
It's going to take more than that.
When Ainge uses the Lakers pick to get a player WAY better than any we sent out.
Well drag me in March 2028 then
I think this is what a lot of Jazz twitter folk have been overlooking. The season's 2/3 of the way over. We're not taking on Westbrook's contract for a full year.

3 things the optimists are missing:
we sold low on Beasley and probably Vander here
we gave the Wolves a better shot at making our pick aka their pick worse so unless the Wolves pick is outgoing tomorow, bad move.
They still have the FInnisher Kessler and JC on the roster to make tanking harder than it would be without them.
SO even though it was a big time tank move on paper it could easily back fire

Will be a lot sooner than that my friend.
