Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

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.

Mike makes a ton of sense for them, and they might be the only buyer for Conley. We ought to our best to include him in a LAL deal, but I think they would prefer him to Beasley anyways.

One thing to think about Beasley....he's ex-Klutch sports. So if that relationship ended poorly he might not be wanted there at all. OTOH, Jordan Clarkson is currently represented by clutch sports, so they might overvalue him.

Klutch connections are real in LA. JC is for sure in that deal if it happens.
 
The ultimate point I wanna make regardless of what combination of players is sent is that the Lakers can put together whatever package they want of our current and incoming (Knicks) players. The one I put together just gave them a real starting lineup while saving them a lot of money at the same time.

If they wanna prioritize winning, then just clean us out. If they wanna be as cheap as possible, do that. Anything in between, go nuts.

Conley just costs a lot more than Bev straight up but I think the fit otherwise is great. LA needs a starting 2-guard and I’m not sure Clarkson is that, but maybe he is.

With things getting stale, I thought I'd take a stab at drawing up a reasonable trade that I'm sure is going to get **** upon instantly. Only caveat is I'd also ask for a swap from NYK for 2026 or 2028.

Happy to oblige: Randle has to stay on the Knicks. It is crucial that they be as crippled as possible and he is basically a saboteur locked into a crazy long term deal.

What if Westbrook went and stayed in NYK, but Randle went to LAL. Does that cripple them less, or more, than having Randle stay in NYK? Probably not likely that NYK would trade for Westbrook and keep him, but it sounds like their fans are willing to do just about anything to get off of Randle's contract.
