Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

The Bulls got excellent PG depth, maybe the best in the NBA.

They got Caruso, Donsume, and Dragic to replace Ball until he gets healthy.

They have some of the worst center depth. Their backups are Drummond and Tony Bradley.

Why in the hell would they give up a first and commit to Andre DRummond as a starter just to get Mike Conley?
We also give them Doke...?

miami is not that desperate to offload him
Ownership rarely tries to leak desperation that they are willing to send assets to save money.

He would be salary that gets the Jazz to the 90% of the cap requirement whereas the Heat are paying ~$40 million annually (salary + luxury tax) for the honor of benching him. Hard to believe they wouldn't be motivated to either save that money or better allocate it elsewhere.

How do you know that?

Their salary situation is rough going forward and their owner has largely not been a big spender... They need to extend Herro and likely would want to keep Strus next year which will through them into a big tax.

They can wait 12 months if they'd like but they will very likely dump some salary at some point or it will cost them some talent.
 
If the Jazz can turn Bogey into nearer 1st rounders and still find a way to get some 1st round stuff from the Lakers with our leftovers, then that's an offseason well done.

What would be most ideal is if we end up shipping Bojan out for a first and something that we can parlay into other assets (like Crowder) and then the Lakers end up coming back at some point later in desperation and give us the return we were looking for on Bojan, but instead hand over the bag for Conley, Clarkson and Beasley.

I can dream, at least.

Bojan to PHX for Crowder and a pick.
Crowder and Gay to Miami for Robinson and pick.
Mike, Jordan and Malik to LAL during the season for teh whole bag.

I think we could do a multi-team deal where Crowder/Saric end up with the Lakers (along with Beasley/NAW) and we land one of the LA picks.

Adding 2 more picks without some onerous salary leaves us with an amazing amount of flexibility (your favorite).

I do think we should look around and see that Indiana and SA both tried to do deals like OKC has in the past few years where they take back bad salary for picks... and haven't found anything. I am not sure those opportunities will be there in this cap environment.
 
Windhorst says several teams are bidding for Bogey right now, and he wouldn't be surprised if the Suns get involved in negotiations.

Unprotected LAL picks far in the future are some of the best assets out there right now, but I don't think PHX picks are far behind. This team seems incredibly fragile to me. CP3 is old and by 25-26 he will probably be gone, Devin Booker very well might request a trade, Ayton is pissed off at their owner... well... I guess everybody is pissed off at him now... This team is primed for disintegration, similar to how we disintegrated... If we can get PHX 25 pick unprotected or lightly protected... I'd do that deal.

Bogey for Saric and Crowder and a top 4 protected 2024 pick. We re-route Crowder to Memphis (and throw in JB or another small salary... could work in NAW and it will give us some tax room) for Danny Green and some seconds (or if they want to take Rudy Gay we can forget the seconds).

Saric is a guy that can show he's healthy and be moved at the deadline potentially.
 
Also Woj threw some cold water on when the "double draft" could be. If it lands in 2025 or 2027 then holy ****.
