Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I know I don’t understand the tweeter, but if the tweeter is erased, probably fake right? But for Argument Sake, if the Brunson thing is canceled, does that mean they don’t want to sign him? And probably because they don’t want to play him and Mitchell together? Which means they’ve come to a deal or close to a deal for Mitchell?

He's already signed man. You cant just backout signing someone.

The idea is that it would be cancelled because something is about to happen that is more newsworthy than the introduction of Jalen Brunson, so it would overshadow the event and the questions would be Donovan dominated.

He’s signed. Locked in. Can’t undo that at this point. The moratorium is over and all agreed to deals became official.

If they delay it, the only reason that makes sense is they’re close to a deal for Mitchell and want to introduce them at the same time. That would be a splash move.

I hate to make the painful reminiscing all that much worse, but the Jazz also traded away their rights to Moses Malone to get one of those picks back as well.

Gail Goodrich, Moses Malone, Magic Johnson, Karl Malone....I do not care one whit who the other 4 in the 8-man rotation are, that lineup wins rings. That sucks.

Dominique Wilkins was in that time frame too but it's hard to know where we would have drafted if we had those guys. If we had Magic and maybe Dominique would we have been able to draft Stockton or Malone? Would have been a monster team.

Stockton, possibly, probably a no on Malone.

Right, and then we would have missed out on all of Hot Rod's "Stockton to Malone' calls.

What are you here for? Tons of trade rumors.

Both Stock and Malone were later in the draft so it is a distinct possibility. Magic, Nique and Malone would have been a big 3 for the ages for sure.

Not Gail Goodrich talk.

 

[LogGrad98]

There was a rumor we could have traded for Magic, or something. We did "trade" for Goodrich. So it fits...like a square peg in a toothpick sized hole, but fits nonetheless!

Wasn’t Dominique Wilkins traded because the cash return was needed to keep the franchise in Utah? Or was that another player?
