Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

What are we doing? I knew the Zeller signing was a sign we’d be taking an L.
 
I heard the Jazz might be trading Bogey to the Pistons or something.
 
Conley, Gay and Butler out, Hayward (maybe a protected first or a second) in. We do it primarily to trim the roster to fifteen as required prior to Opening night. (If we don't do a trade like this that reduces personnel, we will be forced to waive three of: Butler, Johnson, Azubuike, NAW, and Bolmaro, as they have the least owed, and this is the most cost efficient method.) There goes the youth movement. They do the trade to get off the Hayward contract which is no doubt a bad contract for a player with a history of injuries, and to generate fan interest for a team that whiffed on Kenny Atkinson, is still hanging on pins and needles regarding Miles Bridges and besides the Mark Williams signing, only the one year deal on Dennis Williams Jr (big gamble if that's the best you can do for a backup PG).

And the beauty of it, as far as we're concerned, is that Hayward might ask for a buyout, which would solve all of our problems prior to tip off October 19th - all three of them.

Gentle reminder: Markkanen can be aggregated in a trade in October. Markkanen, Beasley, Clarkson, etc. would interest the Lakers.
The desert mirage of NBA trades: when ****** trades happen that make no sense, we convince ourselves that there’s a master-plan that will come to fruition to make it all make sense. Or, my personal favorite: “we’re going to trade _______ at the draft!” Then it’s “oh we’ll wait until free-agency opens up,” then “before training camp,” then “we’ll make a deal at the deadline when other dominoes are falling,” then “oh we’ll trade them at the draft,” and then again “oh they’re an expiring contract so they’ll be a hot commodity at the deadline.”
 
Really need to move JC pre-season imo. Send him to Memphis for Danny Green and some seconds (Ryan saves some money!!!). For us to have functional space he needs to opt out and there is a chance that doesn't happen. If you move JC out you can slide Mike into the bench super sub role and I think it will help the rotations make a lot more sense.

JC is a tough fit next to Sexton as well.
