Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I will be happy if we traded for Ayton and kept Mitchell or if we traded Mitchell for a godfather offer. I understand both ways of thinking and personally hope we don’t trade Mitchell because I don’t want to endure 5+ years of rebuilding but I would still be here chatting it up in the game and draft threads.

Maybe it will be 2 years of rebuilding after we draft Bronny and LeBron has to join the Jazz lol.

I only think there are like 2/3 teams that can offer him a max/near max.

And all it takes is one of them offer him that, and he'll be very happy.

Look, I can see why Ayton would want to cooperate with a sign-and-trade IF he knows that he's not getting a better offer in the RFA market. But none of us know if this is the case or not (hopefully, for his case, his agent has a good idea). Maybe the reason the whole KD trade is stalled is because Ayton isn't pleased with the sign-and-trade proposals and thinks he'll get a better offer in RFA.

The Suns also didn't do themselves any favors essentially dragging him in public. They basically let every other team know that they didn't think he was worth a max, that they wanted to trade him, and that they thought he was easily replaceable. Now they have to try and sell teams on him being a core player worth a big contract and convince him to work with them.

IIRC once he signs an offer sheet elsewhere but basically eliminates the possibility they are able to trade him.

That’s correct. They can match or let him walk. They could match it then trade him in season though… it would seemingly mean Ayton isn’t part of a KD trade though. Unless his value is really bad I think that is a psuedo deadline.

If that's what results, it's still the result that gives him the most money. He'll find a way to live with it.

Nba players are super good and cool getting their money then figuring something out later.

There’s not a scenario that exists where we should be willing to bail out Brooklyn and jump on the Simmons grenade.

I mean…if they give you enough unprotected picks/pick swaps. Ir if a 3rd team is brought into the equation and between the 3rd team and Brooklyn you get a ridiculous haul, you have to take Simmons If you can get that deal.

I mean if we’re being realistic barring injuries the other two 2023 1sts we own are likely to be in the 20’s. I’d deal one or two for Ayton.

I guess I just don’t really understand the value in trading assets for Ayton. You are not going to win the title with a starting 5

Mitchell
Clarkson
Bojan
Vanderbilt
Ayton

I’d rather, in the parlance of one of the previous community members, Ainge “burn this b*tch to the ground”
