Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I would guess the Jazz are happy enough to pay Ayton 4/104 or whatever the number is, but don't necessarily see him as a long-term part of the rebuild. Probably only want him if the asset cost is low since we're going to be 3-4 years away from even attempting to put a winning team together.

If all he costs is a single pick, sure. Probably can rehab his value above that. Any more and I doubt we're interested.

The Jazz could probably acquire Ayton for Bojan's contract, plus a pick or two. They'd just need to be willing to pay him his contract. I could see that happening even if the Jazz keep Mitchell for the time being.

As for Mitchell, it's likely going to come down to the Knicks, Nets/Suns three-way, or keeping him.
 
So the KD trade seems to be coming down to this ---

PHX can offer Ayton, Bridges, Cam and a boatload of picks, but BRK wants an All Star. Hence, the Jazz could get involved with Mitchell, but it also means that Simmons would need to be traded somewhere. A day or so ago, this was the front-runner to get a deal done. Ainge is going to ask for a lot for Mitchell, obviously, but if the Jazz take Ayton, Cam and half the picks, that might make it work. I could also see Ainge asking for BRK to add a couple assets too.

TOR can offer OG, GTJ, Precious and a boatload of picks. BRK is going to ask for Scottie Barnes. If Toronto agrees to send Barnes, I'd imagine the Nets will take that deal. It also means that BRK can keep Ben Simmons.

NOLA can offer Ingram without requiring the Nets to trade Simmons in a separate deal, since Ingram isn't a Designated Player. NOLA can also offer draft capital, including their own picks and some Laker assets.

MIA can offer Bam, Herro, Robinson and picks, but KD wants Bam to still be on the Heat's roster. Without Bam, it's probably not enough to get a deal done, and Simmons would still need to be traded. I don't think MIA has what it takes to trade for KD. TBH, I don't think MIA really has the assets to trade for Mitchell either.
I want more than Ayton, Cam and three 1sts from PHX for DM.

I agree. I think it's possible that Bojan would go out in a trade for Ayton too. Jazz would want more picks/swaps and something from BRK.

If the Jazz are close on the BRK deal, it also puts pressure on the Knicks. The last thing they want is the player that NY media has been hyping up for months to end up on the Nets.

I don't think the Jazz would want Tobias. If the Jazz wanted Mathisse, they could do a different trade with Philly that didn't involve Mitchell. Patrick Beverly could bring back Mathisse, for example.

NYK punted on their lottery pick in the draft this year to get extra picks they could use in a trade for a star player. They passed on Duren, Dieng, Williams and other good players. I really think that Mitchell is the one they want and the one that's most available to them. It'll be a huge whiff if Mitchell moves and NYK is left standing there with all these picks.
