Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I really wish that Conley could somehow be turned into John Collins. Would take a 3rd or even 4th team, but I think adding him would do so much for our team.

Don moves to PG.
Bojan can play some SF.
When Rudy sits, we can try some small ball.
We add much needed youth and athleticism.

From there, we just look to add as many perimeter defenders as possible through free agency and even trades.

We don't have to trade Rudy, but we would have to make a bold addition like this if we want to keep Don and Rudy together.

Don and Mike don't work defensively and Mike has had some rough outings in the playoffs but we're stuck in a weird place. Ideally we can move him and add a versatile wing player into the starting 5. But in doing so we're also giving up a ton of playmaking which hurts even more since we lost Ingles too and really don't have a ton of playmaking as it is.
 
I don't want Ayton, and I'm fairly certain Ainge won't either. We are targeting Williams and Hunter for a reason. Wings

Yeah we reportedly weren't interested in Capela or Vuc either, I think he knows he can get a serviceable replacement for fairly cheap. Someone like Mitchell Robinson/Isaiah Hartenstein/Nic Claxton in free agency or Nerlens Noel.
 
If we moved Conley for KCP/Smith which is most conservative outcome of a Washington deal (I’d love to get Deni or Rui) that would save us 3.9M and we’d be under the apron by 1.3M and above the luxury tax by 2.7M.

Donovan
KCP
Crowder
Bogey
Ayton

Clarkson/Royce/Craig off the bench.
 
An Ayton/Crowder/Craig package for Rudy is about as best case scenario as we could ask for. Get two wing defenders and a young big to pair Donovan with and it increases our timeline.
 
In an ideal world I'd...
Trade Rudy to Atlanta for John Collins, Kevin Huerter, AJ Griffin
Trade Conley to Dallas for Bullock, Powell
Use our Ingles TPE to take on Nerlens Noel

Don - Huerter - Bojan - Collins - Noel

w/ Clarkson, Bullock, Royce, AJG, and Powell off the bench

I hope we find a way to get under the tax and offer Kyle Anderson our full MLE.
 
Basically imo there are two Rudy trades still possible… the Toronto deal or the Atlanta deal. If Atlanta is willing to now include Griffin or Hunter since they got a wing (theoretically). I think it may become more likely if the get the Murray deal done… say they can send Collins (who’s trade value is declining), Capela, Hunter, and Johnson or the Charlotte first (if it doesn’t go out for Murray) for Rudy and Gay… it’s pretty meh to me but meh is what you get. SA has cap space so they can take Gay in the Murray deal if we expand to 3 teams. SA has cap space to help grease the wheels for both us and Atlanta… if they can get the draft capital they want.

Wish we'd offer Rudy to the Spurs for Murray/Poeltl so he can be reunited with Quin next year.

I like reading all the ideas, but I have a hard time seeing that team make the playoffs
