Oh man if this happens… especially if they’re using BEVERLEY in the deal.

Luckily we don't have that problem with any of our vets right now.

There is no way this deal happens. They had a better Bogey deal on the table that they wouldn't pull the trigger on. They aren't foing to use those picks on anything but a 'name brand.'

Kelly Olynyk has been a starter for the Jazz since day one. A better example of showcasing might be playing THT over NAW in the Houston and Chicago games after he hadn't played in weeks. I don't think it's any coincidence that THT's salary is a direct match for Crowder's or Saric', both of which are UFA this season. He also conveniently fits into a trade for DLo who is also UFA this season. I've seen a lot of unrealistic trade proposals involving the Jazz but getting something of value for an expiring UFA is a realistic scenario for teams losing those players. And teams looking to make the playoffs are generally willing to include draft compensation when and if necessary (as we approach the deadline). With only three possible contracts coming off the books this year (two of which being two way) and NAW being a player we should likely hang onto, roster reduction is a valuable consideration. Cap relief is always a plus, particularly when we become buyers again which I believe will be sooner than later, as we currently have no picks in 2024.

So are any trades coming soon for the Jazz or not? I don’t believe the Jazz have been stealth-tanking, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they start moving north in the standings during the long home game stretch. Obviously I could be wrong. But whatever the case, it’ll be interesting to see what Danny does during the next thirty-one days (until the trade deadline).
It would be great if we could trade THT and his contract for Crowder but I have no idea why Phoenix would.

They would not. At least not if they are acting rationally.
We just need to find those magical THT farts that people were sniffing and get their olfactory senses so overwhelmed that they shut down to enable full intoxication.
Also, could someone please give me the Reader’s Digest version of what’s happened with THT? He’s supposed to be a guy that will grow here and he’s averaging less minutes than any year since his rookie season and has a blistering 47.5% TS%. I believe there were a few “told ya so”s floating around when he had a stretch with a few highlights but those have mostly disappeared.

Why the hell wouldn't they? They've got until the 9th of next month to do something with a guy that his been sitting at home on his *** all season. Miami has already expressed interest only after a buyout. Anybody else out there lying in the weeds all this time just waiting to pounce?
I dunno. Someone who they're not on the hook for $11M next year with. Anyone. Or just let Crowder expire. If they're looking to unload Crowder for "anyone" who's not an expiring, I'm sure they could land someone a tad more useful than THT.
"Hey, we've got a full gallon of milk here that will expire in two days!"
"I'll give you an old mattress for it that you'll have to figure out what to do with!"
"No thanks. We can just let it go bad."
