Delightful. That’ll be one unprotected pick, please.
Oh, you want a whole rotation of legit NBA players? Please, have any of the rest of the roster and we’ll take back another unprotected pick. Depending on how deep you go, we’ll take a swap, too.
But for real, the Jazz could furnish the remainder of their rotation and sending 2 unprotected 1sts is not a bad deal for them.Delightful. That’ll be one unprotected pick, please.

I think the potential Knicks trade could be made a 3-team with one of the Knicks players being routed to LA to clinch that second unprotected.
They are high value but they also are way far out. Bogey is super under-rated imo. He's 30th in the league in scoring per 36... does so efficiently... and without being ball dominant.I don't think these picks have to be unprotected in my eyes. They can be something like top 3 protected. I don't think Bogey/Conley/Beverly/Clarkson are worth two high value unprotecteds so I don't mind putting some light protections on them as long as the picks rollover
Good note on the rollover, did not know thatThey are high value but they also are way far out. Bogey is super under-rated imo. He's 30th in the league in scoring per 36... does so efficiently... and without being ball dominant.
Bev is a great compliment to Lebron and AD as well. JC is a guy they could use to get buckets when Lebron ain't in the game.
The key to getting both picks unprotected is Vando imo. The issue with any protections is the 2029 pick literally can't rollover... its against the CBA. If 2027 pick rolled over you aren't getting the other pick. So I would be okay with having the 2027 pick roll over with top 4 protections... in the case it doesn't convey we get the right to swap the 2028 pick with ours and 2029 becomes completely unprotected. I'm okay with the lightest of protections because with the new odds its really hard to manipulate the standings to get top 3-4.
I would also be cool with taking the 28 pick unprotected and getting swaps in 27/29 with our pick or the Minny picks.
I think expiring is good... I think they want to be able to go to FA next year. I think Turner and Hield are good in theory but Turner is constantly hurt... coming off a foot injury. Bogey is better than Hield imo. The cap space also does them a big favor too. Pacers want both picks.Good note on the rollover, did not know that
Sure, but Bogey/Beverly are both expiring. Conley is overpaid currently and is coming off a terrible playoff performance. I still think he is highly valuable, but maybe the cliff is closer than we think and he's the next Kemba Walker.
What's also lost in this is that Russ is actually a huge positive for us as a way to get off about 35 million in 2023/2024 salary.
They are highly valuable picks. They probably have even more value as trade assets.
I have no idea why they would take our dudes over Turner/Hield personally. Maybe the Vando inclusion would change that, but I'd rather just trade him to someone else or keep him, if he's actually worth a first rounder to someone else.
You know what quasi means, right?
Hield and Turner get them 4 total legit NBA rotation players. They need more than that, we can furnish the rest of their rotation.Good note on the rollover, did not know that
