Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

That was such a good podcast episode I listened to every second of it.

Bill Simmons legit thinks the Gobert trade could be the worst trade in the last 30 years and all of the other trades he mentioned feeling like this were trash. Sounds like a good omen to me.
He sounded just legit pissed off and annoyed. It was very satisfying. He will bring it up 100 plus times this year. He was also pissed when that we got Danny for nothing when he has literally never brought it up until we hired Hardy and Danny made a good trade. Sorry if the snake bit ya homey... he's been out here doing this **** for you since like 2000 and now you got the wrong end of the smallest transaction and are just up in arms... Will Hardy got him triggered.
 
Vanderbilt was a good addition and is a sneaky asset we can use in a deal... functional rotation player on a small deal. If we did want Collins for example I could see Bogey and Vanderbilt being enough to entice them. I'm not sure Vandy will be awesome as a center unless we add some bigger wings.

Danny has just done and awesome job so far. We now have so many contracts and players we can use to sell off, reconfigure, make trades work.

Donovan
Beverley
Collins
Ayton

What seed is this core in the playoffs?

I’ve been going through some other blockbuster trades and, yo, this Gobert haul is UP THERE. Harden, for example, fetched only three unprotected firsts with three swaps from a team that was supposed to be a perennial contender. The Jazz basically got 4 for Gobert, another 1st just used (Kessler), and more FROM A BOTTOM THREE FRANCHISE.

We need some shooting added, but that's a team I don't think a lot of teams want to play. Playoff team but probably not a home playoff team next season.

Plus a 1st round pick from 2021 who the jury is still out on. think we all were hoping for at least 2 picks but 4 unprotected plus a pick swap that many years in the future is just insane. I can see this ending up very badly for the Wolves. That isn’t even counting all the players we got too. They made a joke that they’re like we’re keeping these 4 guys you can have whoever else you want to make the salary match lmao.

In 2024-25 they will have 93M combined into just KAT and Gobert and that is before Edwards extension. They will not have much flexibility at all and right where things can start going downhill is when we will start collecting their picks. It’s ****ing glorious.

When he said Boston should have asked for compensation for him especially after this deal too lmao.
 
6’1” front court…..
Beverley would be out there totally dedicated for defense. Conley is a good player, but he's one of those pretty good at everything type guys. Beverley is a fantastic defender who can defend well outside of what is perceived to be his size limitations.
 
Vanderbilt was a good addition and is a sneaky asset we can use in a deal... functional rotation player on a small deal. If we did want Collins for example I could see Bogey and Vanderbilt being enough to entice them. I'm not sure Vandy will be awesome as a center unless we add some bigger wings.

imo, vanderbilt is one of those guys who is more valuable to the team than he is in terms of what he would bring in a trade. iow, i'd hang on to vanderbilt for now if i can.
6’1” front court…..
that's called a back court, but still - i thought we were wanting to get bigger/longer in the back court.

I'd trade Beverly and Beasley before Vanderbilt. These two are the absolute short term assets that we have to trade. Neither is gonna be here long term
