Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[HeatCheck]

It's possible Collins may only be the 4th or 5th best player on this roster. Just doesn't seem smart to be paying him $25mil per season for the next 3-4 years.
It's not my money though.

Nah... DA doing the crane kick... showing the foot he wants you to see... then the other GMs get a kick straight to the face and its lights out.

Remember how we were linked to Sexton all off-season…

Collins could turn out to be another player with a Markkanen like resurgence. Uber athletic with versatility. I wouldn't doubt for a second he could turn things around here in a new system that's more team oriented.

I just feel like people haven't actually watched him. He can't really handle the ball all that much. His shooting has dipped to Rudy Gay levels. His defense is pretty solid but it isn't like he has the length that Lauri does. He isn't transcendent on that end.

Trying to re-create the Lauri trade is nice... but there is a great chance it isn't something that really gets duplicated.

I do... we also were linked to the Knicks all off-season... we also thought Bogey was LA bound or Phoenix bound.

My guess is if it happens we will be a little shocked at how well DA did. Like he will have gotten a pick swap and the Kings pick... will be a trade where we get 1.50 on the 1.

Like I'd rather see what Obi Toppin would cost if Atlanta doesn't pony up a pick. That seems more like a "Lauri" trade to me.

If we’re trading for Collins, I want two draft picks. Then I’d immediately turn around and send him to Miami for Robinson, Dedmon and a 27/29 pick.

I don't think he will be flippable. Atlanta signed that deal to hopefully move him later... have shopped him for 3 years. I hope if DA trades for him he likes him and I hope he holds firm with what his ask is (not too concerned there... he likely holds the line).

Deandre Hunter is the one from Atlanta who could improve significantly in our system. Although by all reports the Hawks are high on him.

I dunno. I really feel like he ends up getting in the way and is an opportunity cost by taking him. I’d take him if I knew we could offload him in a year for something serviceable.

Trader Danny:

"I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave.
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down."

Trust me, trust me, trust me

Yeah but even Hunter gonna have to stay healthy and improve to live up to his deal.

On ESPN 700 Andy Larsen said he thinks Beasley and Vanderbilt are probably the most likely guys to be dealt before the deadline.

If we trade Vando, I’ll be just sick about it unless it’s an offer we can’t refuse. Vando will be really good. Mark my words.

We are definitely trading for Collins.

This reminds me of your we’re definitely trading for RJ Barrett bit. Lmao

Not even close. Markkanen is a 7ft unicorn, who the bulls unexpectedly gave up on him. And wasn’t given a shot. Markkanen can shoot drive and pass and move like a wing. Collins is really not that skilled, just athletic, not a good shooter. He’s only gotten worse over the years and carries a heavy price tag for someone with his production.

Remember how we were linked to Sexton all off-season…

We were linked to a lot of people that were available, and we were looking ant any and all that were available and none were more available than Sexton.
