Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Phoenix is expected to explore sign-and-trade options for Ayton, so they don't get cornered into either accepting or rejecting a max deal in restricted free agency.

There might be some solid three way options if Ayton asks out… might be some teams like Memphis, Indiana, New York or San Antonio that prefer a younger player like Ayton instead of Rudy… if Phoenix can swap Ayton for Rudy they may prefer that… but what they really prefer is the money they can save by swapping Ayton for a cheaper option. Phoenix’s summer got real interesting.
 
If Stotts or Ham get the Charlotte job then the Hornets are back on the list of Rudy suitors... it looked like D'Antoni was going to go there. Supposedly Borrego was fired because MJ didn't like the defense...

I think the Hayward, 13, 15, PJ Washington package is about as good of a fit/value as you will find. I'm fine with Gordon because if Hayward and Donovan are healthy you probably still decent. If one guy misses a lot of the season you might decide to take the gap year and tank (like Portland). At 13 you catch whatever wing is sliding and 15 you get Mark Williams. Its basically a gap year if you trade Rudy... this is a decent upside swing and gives us some young guys for when Donovan asks out.

Say what you will about Hayward. He was a good defender and always played hard.

I would take this and offer Hayward + #15 to the Kings for #7 and stuff. If I'm losing Gobert, I want Duren coming back.

Hayward has negative trade value and Kings don’t really have ****** contracts. Take Mark Williams later instead and thank me later.

Williams is a beast, but Duren can dribble, pass, shoot from mid-range and switch on the perimeter. He doesn't need to be right at the rim to score.

Another guy in the mid-1st range to look at is Jaden Hardy, whom I think has some Bradley Beal-level potential.
 
Plain and simple - I don't want Hayward. We are really going to trade a guy willing to be loyal to Utah for the guy who royally screwed us over?

I'm really high on PJ Washington, but he's still a work in progress. Two picks in the teens are risky. Hayward is overpaid and often hurt and he's a douche.
