Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Just based on his potential I would take a chance on Jalen Johnson. He's a young, talented 6'-8" player whose archetype is in demand these days. He's another guy that would need development though. ATL is definitely not in player development mode esp after acquiring Dejounte this offseason.

This hypothetical trade could work:
To ATL: Crowder
To PHX: Beasley, J. Holiday
To Utah: Shamet, Jalen Johnson, SRP(s) from PHX

I like Beasley's shooting but honestly think Jazz could develop Agbaji into a more athletic version.

But that gives us one more player. We are in a cut, cut mode now.

Supposedly Jazz offered the Lakers Bogey Conley and our last pick in 2023 for Russ and two first and Lakers declined.

Even with the down payment smh

Uhhh… I mean, that doesn’t align with what the Lakers were seeking and it sounds like the Jazz are high on the smell of their own ****.

Glad we have rich man’s Rodman and Beasley to build a contender on. Who needs anything else?

Sub in Beasley and Vando for Mike and I wonder if it works.... also wonder if you just add Mike and then wait to do Bev/THT so there is some value there... plus they could keep Johnson.

We have enough stuff to close the gap... so I am hoping we didn't just dig in and say "no more stuff". I am hoping it was the Lakers just balking and thinking they need to hold those picks for a midseason Beal or Dame trade (which is something I can see happening if those teams get off to a rough start). Those contracts won't age well but they are attached to "stars" which is LA's MO.

That’s why you don’t make down payments. DA pays non-refundable deposits on VRBOs when he the payment isn’t due yet.

There was never a draft pick in play from the Lakers for anything short of giving them Don.

Nah... I think Danny got greedy and just wanted em both. It was an error. We should have don Mike/Bogey for Russ straight up rather than the deal we got. This team minus Mike and KO would have a shot at bottom 4. Mike/Bogey/Vando for Russ and one pick is a little rich but we should have done it. There are also other minor assets we could have used.

We had a golden opportunity to solve a lot of our problems... I get that the Lakers would have been a huge beneficiary... but you just have to get over it and do what is best for your club long-term.
