Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[NUMBERICA]

Lmao. Ralph Sampson produced and was a 3 time player of the year in college.

This kid has no accolades to this point.

Sorry, the kid too young to go to college?

Scoot Henderson is a better prospect than Jalen Green at the same age. He’s also the best PG prospect since Derrick Rose. He will be in discussion for the #1 pick.

I actually liked Scoot more than Wemby. But Wemby's defensive timing reminds me of Gobert in some videos. And if he can put on muscle and have a offensive game with the defense.... I get excited thinking of another Gobert with an outside shot.

This makes no sense to me at all. Why would the Jazz be more interested in getting Sexton if they keep Donovan? I thought it would be just the opposite. This team already has SO many guards, and why would they want to pair Don with another 6'1 guard in the backcourt?

Because he's talented and seems to be undervalued. Buy low.

I get that. What I don't understand is why they're more interested in going after him if they keep Donovan...why not just try to get him either way?

This. The language that if they keep Donovan then they would be interested is weird.

I agree that going into tank mode, buying low on dudes that have upside and may have flamed out with another team is a great approach though. Sexton at a bargain number would rule.

I think it's mostly posturing to other teams (the Knicks) to say they are willing to keep Mitchell if they arent willing to give up enough in trade talks.

What if it was just Bogey and Mike for Westbrook and one of their picks? I’d probably do that in a second. Clears the cap even more next year. Still have the Minnesota guys to trade if we want. Can still kind of bluff and say we are keeping Donovan… say we are clearing the cap for adding a FA and using our 2023 picks to rebuild around Don.

Don
Bev
Beasley?
Vando/Simone
Doke/Kessler/Vando

JC off the bench… that good enough to bluff? Maybe not… certainly good enough to tank though.

I have a hard time seeing Ainge doing that unless we get two picks from the Lakers.

Right now I'm not sure even Ainge knows what direction the Jazz are taking for the coming season.

That's because Ainge (unlike some of the posters around here) isn't desperate for a deal to get done.

I think its pretty close... Bogey can get a first somewhere but not as good a first as the Lakers would give up here. Conley likely can't get a first right now. Maybe you throw Rudy Gay into the deal too to even it out. Maybe its just a second round pick to even things out.

I think to get two firsts it will cost us a few more or different pieces... Namely Vanderbilt... who is worth a good first on his own. IDK... just spitballing a bit.
