Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I really want LA's first round picks, but it also makes me feel a little dirty helping them out. Adding Conley, Beverly, and Bogey to Lebron and AD would be as good as they could hope for in my opinion.

I have no hesitations about it at all. In fact, I'd love to send Bogey, Mike, or JC to a place where they have a real shot at a ring or otherwise be happy.

Apparently the context is clearing out salary cap room... but either way that means that they'd be a terrible team next year... get that 23 pick and hope to get some lotto luck.

This. I actually feel bad for anyone we hold onto, as it means they have no chance for a ring unless they can or will stick around for another 5+ years. Bogey and Conley do not have that in them. JC would, but will he be willing? I would rather send these core vets out to places they can compete and in ways that bring us back max assets in return. I would really feel bad for Bogey to be stuck here in our rebuilding phase for his remaining years just because. No reason to keep them. Give them a chance to fly and be free!

Yeah, I like all of our guys too. It probably makes me a little petty, but I have a hard time not smiling when I think of Westbrook being the millstone that drags down the Lakers in to the bottom half of the conference.

Bogey is an expiring, he'll have other opportunities but I would still want to set him up ideally.

Conley's situation concerns me, however. He really needs to get to winning that ring soon if he wants to be a real contributor on a team that wins one.

I think this is a compelling offer for LA:

Bev, Beasley, and Bogey

for

Westbrook, THT, and... hopefully close to all the draft compensation they can send

Saves them $11 million, Jazz would still be under the tax (assuming they do the cheap NY deal which I think they will). Maybe we toss in Vanderbilt and/or a NY guard to sweeten.

I think we keep Beasley unless they love him. He could have a great year and be valuable or could be a keeper.

I think they could really use all of Bev, JC, Mike. They pick two and get Bogey… I think that enough. Vando would be more of a pillar of the deal than a throw in. I think either Bogey or Vando would have the most trade value independently… could be way off but I think he easily nets a first by himself… Bogey too… JC and Bev are more like 3 second rounders types unless you take back bad salary.
 
If Utah was dead set on minimizing incoming players and maximizing picks why not something like Westbrook to Utah, Don to NY, Randle to LA, filler where necessary, all the Picks to Utah.

I don’t see the Lakers really wanting Randle. Plus this lets the Knicks off easy and we’d have to send more salary to the Lakers because it doesn’t work cap wise.
