Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

K, but he’s not playing games and his injury(s) hasn’t healed which go back months and months.

Knees don’t always get better, especially if he’s lost meniscus in his knee.

He had the shortcut surgery... where they trim/remove the meniscus. Sexton had the repair long-term surgery (longer recovery time but better long-term). Now has to have a surgery to remove debris... I am actually talking myself out of it completely.

Y'all do realize Mike Conley is a negative asset currently and he is not going to be able to net an expiring swap at this point, right?

Assets are positive... he has slightly negative value right now but has a high likelihood of playing well and making folks forget about the playoffs last year. Also an expiring deal next year so even if he isn't super positive now he will be basically neutral next year. I think Ball would have a similar value if he can't get healthy a month or two into the season. This thing lingers anymore and his contract will be viewed as very negative.

If you could land Lonzo with Mike and the Nets pick, then we’ve really ****ed ourselves in the ***.

Sexton
Lonzo
Bojan
Markkanen
Gobert

Yeah but you would be acquiring Lonzo with the idea that this year is going to be a recovery year for him as you figure out what is going on.

Which honestly gives Lonzo even more value to the Jazz. We already know he is a ****ing incredible player. Probably one of the best non-all-stars in the league. Him not playing just improves our pick and then we go into '24 with a ****ing super team.

If the Lakers weren't willing to give up two firsts for Hield and Turner, are they really going to be willing to give them up for any combination of Jazz players?

I don't think I'd give up two firsts for that package either. I do think the Jazz have a package worth two picks but not sure they give it up... it might just be the Lakers are unwilling to do both picks. Turner is great when healthy... he's often injured. Hield might be unplayable in the playoffs. I think Bogey/Beasley/Vando/JC is better than Hield/Turner.

Lakers shouldnt be giving up any picks for any of the players from Utah or Indy tbh.

They should just treat themselves as a Lebron show and start planning on when to trade him and AD to transition into their next phase.

I think Bogey gets traded to another team in the next few days and puts an end to all the Jazz/Lakers talks.

People on this forum being like "Team X should give up their incredibly valuable assets for our collection of mid players so they can rocket themselves to a 6 seed" is really funny.

Also, maybe a hot take, but I'm excited for Bogey to be off the team (Clarkson too but that seems less like a sure thing).

Not that they are awful players, but they are two of the worst passers in Utah Jazz history. They are both Al Jefferson level passing talents.

Almost as funny as someone saying "Team X that has two of the best 10 nba players in the league, should punt on those guys winning anything to potentially save some picks in 5-7 years".

I know some folks are excited Rudy is gone as he was one of the worst perimeter shooters in Utah Jazz history.

Bogey sucks at some things but he is pretty underrated. Top 30 scorer by volume in the nba, does it on incredible efficiency, and does not dominate the ball. Incredibly durable and super professional.

JC is a bit much because he dominates the ball and isn't efficient. Though he a great bucket getter.

This isnt the bubble anymore, AD not a top 10 player anymore and that roster is too far beyond broken that some mid isnt going to help it that much.
