Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

depends on how one defines large. in comparison to montreal, it does not have a large french speaking population. but about 10% of the city is bilingual with french as being one of the languages spoken - that's more than nearly every city in the world in which french isn't the primary language.

Fair enough--9% of the population claiming the ability to carry a conversation in French is notable (2016 census). I suspect a lot of those folks are not particularly fluent.

Only 49k (1.8%) report French as being one of their mother tongues and 30k (1.1%) report French as the language spoken most commonly at home. In comparison, Tagalog 83k/43k, Tamil 57k/42k, Farsi 49k/33k, Italian 63k/27k, Portuguese 59k/33k, Spanish 73k/42k, Cantonese 115k/83k, and Mandarin 111k/88k are spoken more in Toronto (and these are only identified in census tables where no other answer is given).

So can you find a person to speak French with? Yes. Are there more French speakers in Toronto than in other (non-French) North American cities? Yes. Is French a language you commonly hear spoken when wandering around the city? Not particularly.

Whatever we do we can't give up any more of our future picks. No matter what type of retooling we try, it's far more likely that we are delaying a rebuild vs extending a championship window.

1000% That would present a huge hinderance to any rebuild... unless it was top 14 protected and turns into second rounders.

I think we are more likely to acquire some picks than give them out... but Locke threw out some scenarios where we give out picks and get back picks later when we rebuild. Would make my stomach turn to do that... that is what leads to 10 year rebuilds.

It would really take an enormous haul for the Jazz to trade Donovan this offseason -- like top-3 pick, 2 unprotected 1sts, and 2 pick swaps.

Or him saying I want out and I won't be quiet about it. Still likely would require a haul.

I just think its hilarious that Ryan thinks having Donovan for All-star weekend is going to be amazing... when its likely just going to be a whole lot of "when does Donovan ask out?" stories.

The Miami package would be what... Herro and a couple firsts (they owe a first that limits how many they can give). Not a big fan... would hope to spin Herro off and get some more picks if that's what it was.

If the Jazz decided to trade Don and keep Rudy and build around him, Jimmy Butler would make a lot of sense. I have no idea if Miami would be interested in a Mitchell/Butler swap though.
