Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

All their chips still isnt enough chips.
I think three unprotected firsts, three swaps, a protected or two, Herro (or what else he can be flipped for), and Jovic is just fine.

As or more importantly, it puts pressure on the Knicks.
 
If that's the package, honestly, I'm okay with that if the Knicks are being obstinate.
Let’s just keep out the “protected or two” since that would mean the Heat trading more players and further complicating it. Let’s just keep it three unprotected 1sts, three swaps, Jovic, Strus, and Herro.

I think they offer that without much hesitation IF Boston landed KD.

My only hope there is that it just moves the Knicks.

I just dont know what we would do with Herro and why we would take him and pay him on this timeline. Im over DM but I would just as soon keep him than I would want to take on Herro and pay him, while also getting seemingly a bunch of late firsts.
 
I agree that facilitating a trade with the Lakers works great. All in. I think it's the right type of move to collect assets.

I don't think we need to move all 3 pieces for Westbrook. Price is steep because I think players like Clarkson, Beasley, Conley, Bogdonovic, Beverley, and even Vanderbilt all can fetch assets individually. Trading 3 for Westbrook is an overpay because I think we can do the same thing with any two of them so long as contracts line up. I think Bogdonovic and Conley is a plus for the Lakers and gets us to the same place. Or perhaps 2 of them plus Gay for salary purposes to get a little extra for ourselves. So, in short, yeah, I think we can get more for those 3 players.

Suppose we get the same trade you are suggesting but we don't toss in all 3 and we rid ourselves of Gay. Then we flip Beverley for a young player or another draft pick. Then we get 2 unprotected +.

In short, the Laker's are screwed right now with Westbrook. They have been trying to dump him for 6 months with no success. Beggars can't be choosers. No need to put a bow on the gift.
I'm all in for getting the best deal, whatever that might be. So I think we're fundamentally on the same page here.
