Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Several teams will pursue Ayton, and Ayton will need to agree to sign there. This is interesting though because free agency and sign-and-trade deals will happen after the draft. So if the Hawks are sending out this press release it sends the message that they won't trade for Gobert before the draft. At least that's how they're posturing. It's like they're saying they've given up on trading for Gobert and they're moving on to pursuing Ayton in free agency.

Jazz and Hawks are probably in the heat of negotiations on trade scenarios. Otherwise, there's no reason to put this message out there.
Its not a press release. Its just rumor season. This could have been Ayton agents. Teams don't get to control every message out there... its not all posturing and spin.
 
"Executed beautifully" is definitely the kind of description that would be given to maintaining default settings.
And Tony Jones will mock anyone suggesting the great FO and ownership team failed... there will be crying face emojis.
 
I'd prefer Jalen Johnson over Plumlee tbh and the deal could happen without Plumlee if the Hornets rennounce some of their FA's rights.

But they’re trying to re-sign Miles Bridges so that won’t happen. They will not be working with any Space this off-season. They will need to send someone out for a Capela. Be nice if they sent out Oubre and we got him.

Something like

Jazz get Collins, Oubre, PJ, and Hunter
Hawks get Rudy, bogie.
Hornets get Capela and their 2023 1st back

Though he will delete the tweet when the Jazz decide to quickly change course because something broke and they are able to unload a vet in a no-brainer deal (that is future facing).

I can’t wait to see who will be guaranteed to be in the rotation after another salary dump.

We’re now in the situation of having to dump the guy’s salary that we got in exchange for our last salary dump. We swallowed a mouse to get the spider we swallowed, so now we’re looking for a cat to swallow to get the mouse.

When we trade Bogey to Portland for Bledsoe and the Milwaukee pick "Jazz get the point of attack guard they have been looking for over the years... he was their first choice and will start day 1."

I'll bet we send a second to have OKC swallow our cat. From there you do a Conley 2 for 1 trade where you take back like 3M less... you buy a second round pick and save $1M (see the NAW second we sent doesn't matter... lolz you can always buy the 59th pick).

All of a sudden without doing any money motivated moves (per 95% of local media) we are out of the tax and Ryan saves $35M.
















We also go 40-42 and get the 12th pick next year.
 
The Ayton trade mechanics will also be difficult unless he goes to a cap space team. He will be subject to the BYC stuff... so Capela for Ayton on a max works for Phoenix's side of the trade... but not for Atlanta. Easier to do with Detroit, SA, Indiana.

I don't think this is a leak that was sent out there to influence us at all... I think the same set of teams that are interested in Rudy will have interest in Ayton... Deandre likely has a bigger market because he's younger and the Detroit's and Indiana's of the world will have interest.
