Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Handlogten's Heros]

I've read a couple of articles about the Clippers potentially having interest in Conley.

I could see a Kennard and Zubac deal for Mike if we moved Rudy. Maybe something around Morris though I think he would add more bad vibes to an already bad vibes group.

If that's the case, then the Jazz can trade Donovan and get a haul for him a year from now. Rudy and Donovan aren't anchors for a legit contender unless they're both playing next to an All Star-level, two-way wing.

Why would we do that? We get a worse package due to Donovan having 2 years left vs 3 and his value likely drops if all we are is a play-in team.

If we traded Rudy and kept Donovan, I would put youth, athleticism and potential next to Don. I'm not sold on winning a title with Don as the #1 guy, but I definitely think he can be a key part of a title winning team.

Supposedly our FO has interest De'Andre Hunter from Atlanta, and Atlanta might not want to extend his contract since they just extended Trae, Collins, Capela and Huerter.

De'Andre Hunter and Donovan Mitchell could evolve into an amazing complimentary combo. Nobody really knows how good De'Andre can be since he's had to fit in that offense completely built around Trae. Could he emerge in a more shared system like Toronto's or Miami's? Doesn't matter if you are pro-Don or against Don, a guy like De'Andre Hunter fits a long term Utah vision.

So... Rudy to Atlanta for Hunter and hopefully Collins. If we have to add Conley or Bojan and take back Capela, I would do it.

I’m more interested in a deal that involves dealing Mitchell to the Hawks and getting Hunter back along with a ton of other assets.

Mitchell will have a good year next year and be worth a big package. I don't think his trade value will drop much, if at all.

Yeah... I could see a team thinking he declined as the season went on. I think Knicks thought they could swipe Brunson but I think his price tag could get nuts after the playoffs... how nuts you might ask... I think Detroit may roll out something close to the max for him.

The other options like Tyus Jones may stay put or may have markets just north of the MLE. Knicks don't have cap space without some maneuvering.

The Conley deal that makes the most sense to me is Mike to Washington for KCP and Deni (Deni is the real prize). I think he's a guy who could be a breakout candidate and has a lot of the things we need. KCP is useable and expiring so helps with flexibility.

I really love this deal too my man! Let’s hope the Jazz Brass are reading these threads.

I would only consider moving Mitchell if the Jazz are offered a top 3 or 4 pick in this draft, plus additional assets. Jaden Ivey would effectively replace Mitchell while setting our timeline back. If the Jazz move Mitchell, they need a real future star coming back.

That's not necessarily true. There have been plenty of players to be traded with 2 or even 1 year left on their deal for plenty. Donovan could go down in value, but his value might even go up if he gets more usage and doesn't have the share the ball with Mike Conley.

There is no truth to those people saying that Don definitely loses or gains value if we wait a year.

I could see it centering around Morris. I agree about the bad vibes...I think he could help us on the court but adding him to an already somewhat toxic locker room seems like a really bad idea.

We’d need a new coach imo because Quin isn’t great at managing the vibes… he’s more of the “chess master” type per Andy Larsen.

You are entitled to your opinion.

He’s 6th in the league in usage this year 5th last year. Not sure getting more usage will increase his value.

How is his defense?
