Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

You can do swaps with other picks... for example we own the lesser of the Houston and Philly firsts we got through Brooklyn. There are numerous second round picks that involve 3-4 teams where it tells you teams get the lesser of pick xyz... another team gets a different one... and they lay out the full order.

The thing I don't know is can you do a blind swap... so can you say "we get the right to swap your 2024 pick for our pick or any other 1st we acquire before X date". The swaps are there because of Stepien rule... not sure why you couldn't do it because the Stepien rule would be satisfied.

The bottom part is what I was alluding to. If we had a pick prior to the deal that wasn’t ours we can put it in the language. If we don’t prior to the deal I don’t know if you are allowed to.

That's what my post was alluding to but didn't spell out explicitly; I would ideally hope to make a deal for this mystery '24 pick BEFORE the Donovan deal closes. Just seems a lot cleaner.
 
If I'm the Jazz I'm seriously exploring any way to get a '24 pick, unprotected if possible, from anywhere. It would be nice to have some security of a pick that year but it would also enable the Jazz to more cleanly negotiate a '24 swap with the Knicks. I would be targeting a team that could seriously be in a championship window and is not concerned about sending an unprotected pick. The Warriors come to mind but I'm not sure how to match salary with the win-now players we could send out. But that kind of idea.

The good news is we'll have at least 4 picks in the 2023 draft. One of those could easily be flipped on draft night for a '24 pick.

Doesn't help the swap to your point but we will absolutely be in that draft.

I don't see why not... but it hasn't been done before.
 
It's going to happen
I agree... although I could see one team leaking something saying "they aren't interested and have walked away from the table". Just depends on how far apart they are... we know the Jazz asked for everything... not sure how the Knicks countered.
