Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Elizah Huge]

I'm not really saying he is bad, I just didnt really enjoy watching him.

Who gives a ****? That has nothing to do with his value.

It's a forum and I'm expressing my nuanced opinion on basketball players like everyone else. Please hop off my dick. People must give a **** because I get responses.

I'm not sure what you definition of mid is... but Bogey is a really good starter level player. Beasley is a solid starter level player. JC is a great sixth man. Vando is a solid starter in the right scenario. Not saying lakers would be the favorites.... everything hangs on Lebron and AD's health... but that team gives them the best shot they will have to win a title in the next 7-8 years? 10-12 years?

Playing scared and punting on Lebron/AD would be a huge mistake imo. Especially because they wouldn't even get the draft rewards of it failing.

The above factors should be built into any Lonzo negotiation.

Bojan, Beasley, Gay, Vando, Two Picks. Why do those words keep poping into my head? Is that a magical phrase? A new pop song?

He had the shortcut surgery... where they trim/remove the meniscus. Sexton had the repair long-term surgery (longer recovery time but better long-term). Now has to have a surgery to remove debris... I am actually talking myself out of it completely.

I just can’t wrap my head around getting the shortcut surgery. I just can’t.

I also can’t wrap my head around someone prognosticating concern about Sexton’s knee when he did the smart thing and being like “lmao Ball is fine” when he did the dumb thing ON TOP OF his previous spotty history.

I probably still do the trade just on the chance he can get back in TWO YEARS, but you don’t do it unless you’re prepared to allocate $70 million in cap for nothing. Like, does he need to have some **** pulled off a cadaver? That’s the kind of area this might go; sketchy or unproven practices.

If this last thing didn’t do the trick, then yeah, you CAN replace meniscus, but return to strenuous activity takes a year (and there’s always the risk that it doesn’t quite do the trick).

Meniscus Replacement: What Is It, Risks, Benefits & Outlook

Meniscus replacement is surgery to replace a missing or torn meniscus. It relieves pain and prevents arthritis. The meniscus comes from a human donor.

I don’t think any part of that aligns with the Bulls’ objectives.

Also it’s kind of funny the Lakers acting like those two picks should bet them a star or some ****. Those picks are very valuable but it cost Atlanta two unprotected picks, a swap, and another conditional first to get Murray. They also weren’t dumping a monster 1 deal that is onerous.

Caris Levert, Jerami Grant, Kevin Huerter… are all mid players that got 1 pick. Giving 3 mid players, saving them serious money is in the ball park of 2 picks. If Jazz are willing to throw in Vando then i think it’s definitely worth 2 picks.

There other option is to burn a **** ton of money this year on a play in team… provide a miserable experience, and burn a year of AD and Lebron… and for what? To have space? Are you trading an expiring AD and Lebron to rebuild when NO owns your pick in 24 or 25… they get to choose? Are you going to bottom out and preserve picks or try and push them all in for a star?

 

[Coach Ellis]

If the Lakers weren't willing to give up two firsts for Hield and Turner, are they really going to be willing to give them up for any combination of Jazz players?

The question I have is “Do the Jazz need both unprotected picks or does one pick (‘27 ideally) plus swaps get where you need to be value wise?

Unless the Jazz are getting a high upside young player on a rookie contract, the asset they should want most is that 2027 pick. Get creative with the rest of the deal if you have to. . .

I’d settle for an unprotected pick and an unprotected swap.

If it is just one unprotected from the Lakers, I'll take the Phoenix 24 pick for Bogey and part out the rest of the stuff separately, including the stuff (Jae Crowder) that we get back from Phoenix.

Without Bogey, Don, and Rudy on the team and with that opening schedule, I'm OK with being patient. The deals will show up and we just aren't going to be that good.
