Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah but they went from presumed contender to hey we might get to the 2nd round. Was maybe more of a surprise gutting than ours was last summer. I still think we got more assets for our stars than they did for theirs. Time will tell I guess. And time will tell who can do more with those assets.

On paper before games where played if you told me both packages I would take the Suns w/ Bridges over Cav w/ Lauri for sure.

With Lauri's breakout I would say we got the better deal though.

Also think the Suns last pick is unprotected and the Wolves pick is top 5. So taht's a pretty big difference.

Hope we trade Clarkson and KO today. If we're gonna make pure tank moves for meh returns, then go all in for it.

What do we still need at this point? Clearly we have gone tank mode, so it would make sense to move Clarkson and maybe Kelly.
Prime target would be a young PG or wing with some upside. Any thoughts?

I would call NO and see if we could pry away Dyson Daniels.

I love Daniels but there is no way the pelicans think of moving him without getting something really really good coming back.

Wiseman is a bust and Jordan Poole will be on one of the leagues worst contract starting next year so we help the warriors out by taking on two bad contracts to help them maximize their chance of a title this year+flexibility to make moves the next two seasons. We get two GSW's unprotected or lightly protected firsts from 2027 and 2029 and hoping they will suck by then. Klay/Steph/Draymond will all fall off by 2025.

Clarkson averages 21-4-4. He's really good. Jazz can throw in a pick as well. Pelicans got enough young talent and they will have more coming in. I dont get them not making a strong win now move.

Clarkson has to go today, but KO and Gay should go too. Among those 3, I hope to get an only moderately protected first round pick and expiring salary

Yup .. the culture completely changed these last few days. I don't think there's any way out of this for the rest of the season. Players don't seem too happy about these moves.

The team was gutted and got very little back. You can make tough trades but the players need to see something coming back. They had come together and done great things against the odds and now the FO dumped on them. Maybe a good move but culturally this move could role into next year. Ainge does not seem to be one who creates any kind of trust with the players. If I were Laurie I would be asking myself if this was the kind of place I want to be long term.

Ya'll think Lakers would have done last night's trade if they knew that Durant was heading to Phoenix?

If we do move on from Clarkson I hope it gets him in a position to chase his ring. I would love to see him win. I would miss him, I have loved him as a Jazz man.

Lauri is an all-star for the first time in his career. He loves Utah. He loves Hardy. He knows the team has an amazing cache of resources they'll use to build a team around him. Wouldn't worry about that.

Of course they would have for 2 reason. The trade grossly favored the lakers and second even with the lakers 2027 and 2029 picks they did not have enough to get KD

no reason KO or Gay should be on the roster after today. clarkson i sorta get as you don't want to leave Lauri entirely alone, but as long as we don't give a **** about return and we are in full tank mode just dump them for anything.
