Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[mongoose01]

I think they trade Donovan. You move all his buddies and then say “we open to trading him for the right price”. Guy was already kinda iffy on staying here… this would obviously piss him off. Wendy’s prophesy is not yet fully fulfilled,

This… also why would he not be involved whatsoever in the offseason. He didn’t give any opinion on the ****** jerseys. He wasn’t part of the reveal. He didn’t give input on the new coach at least publicly. He’s already out.
If I were the Jazz I would still want to acquire a young potential all star like Ayton because of the all star game in SLC, but blowing it up with a young new coach is the way to go. Mitchell has got to be on the way out. He’s not a buildable piece, because he has already ran it’s course and checked out.

Well put.

And I want nothing to do with teaming Ayton up with Spida. Let’s rip the bandaid off and start the rebuild. Not prolong mediocrity with a severely flawed roster

I don't see how Ayton is a flawed center. He is more than capable of doing everything. He is a solid defender and rebounder. Offensively he finishes strong around the rim and is capable of stepping out and hitting an outside shot. He is just a solid all around center. I think in the right situation where he is more of a focus offensively he can be 24pt, 12rb, 2 blk a game center. To me he is the ideal pairing with Mitchell and I would love to give it a shot. If it doesn't work out then we blow it up during the season or next offseason.

Last time we heard from him he was shocked and unnerved.

I said flawed roster, not center. Reread my post.

Everyone who wants to blow it up forgets that we don’t have our pick the season after next

Me being an Aussie jazz fan I will puke if we got Ben Simmons he is the most disliked sportsman in Australia

Help me understand why the hate? Is it because he is capable but he doesn't put in the effort? Is it attitude? Or is there more to it?

All I want for the 4th is Mitchell’s trade being announced. Feels like we’re owed after the whole Hayward debacle on the 4th a few years back.

Dude, he voluntarily sat out most of this year because he had his feelings hurt from the previous playoff. Don’t you see why that might generate some hate?

I want nothing to do with Ayton or Simmons. Culture matters. Trade Mitchell for rookies/young prospects/ and all the draft picks. No more dysfunction in the locker room. Start over and do it right.

What’s the problem with Ayton? He seems to be a good team mate he’s willing to play a role and he’s solid all around. He can defend, rim protect, hit mid range, he’s got finesse, he can hit ft’s.
I’d try for him if I were the Jazz. Do the sign and trade lock a guy like that up for 5 years, force feed him into the all star game and start over with an awesome prospect and tons of picks and flexibility. I’d like those prospects.

And what would be the best case scenario with this pairing?

Better than when we was paired with Booker who is better than DM? Better than when we was paired with Booker, CP, Bridges etc etc?

I don’t follow the logic where Ayton/DM gets a better result than the significantly better team he is coming from.
