Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[rocfan1]

The good news is I think DA has maximum poker face right now... none of us can guess what he is going to do it means front offices likely are in the dark as well. Makes it easier to get good offers as both a buyer or a seller.

EXACTLY!! has that not been the story with DA and JZ so far. No one seen the Gobert or DM deals coming...Funny how Collins deals with ATL and deals with Knicks were all over the media including (bigmike) but the actually deals closed weren't.

I have this sinking feeling the Jazz are going to surprise us and do a win now move like Collins or OG.

Maybe. I am just hoping to get a 1st round pick in 2024 since we might not have one and it could be a good year.

If the Jazz go for a "win-now" move, I hope (unless it's something completely surprising) that they manage to do it on a buy-low basis. I think that means Collins is more likely than OG, but I'm more skeptical than some that Collins can really be had at a super-low price.

OG fits to some degree. Obviously, his defense would be great, and his general versatility is a huge plus. But I'm a little worried that he might get slotted into (or expect) more of an offensive load than he should be carrying. I also think his price-tag is likely to be too high.

As for Collins, if he can be had at a reasonable price, I'm more interested than I was when I first heard about the Jazz's interest. He's basically a 20/10 guy per 36 for his career, with arguably nearly as good on-off numbers as OG. I still don't trust his defense as much as some do, but I think I'm no longer in the camp that he's a minus on defense. If the Jazz feel like they can fit him in, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt (given the surprising--to me--success they've had this season at fitting the likes of Clarkson, Sexton, Beasley, and so on into a cohesive offensive team).

More of a long-term add than win-now, but will help us win now - if that makes sense.

Acquiring a long-term piece without diving deep into draft capital.

Oh you trick before you should shame yourself for trick ppl with lieds.

I would love to get John Collins and Caruso on this team. I am Caruso might not be available.

Ok , I’m going to say it

I don’t get the whole Woj thing , so 99% of trades are revealed by him or has his name attached to it , it’s like he takes the credit for finding all the info out , or rather GMs just ring him to tell him to put it out to the media .

He is just the middle man that answers the phone and passes information on , I mean even Cy could do that .

Maybe I’m just having a George Costanza moment

Yes, people tell Woj stuff and he reports it. Is he supposed to read a crystal ball?

Supposedly Milwaukee trying to upgrade by putting a few second round picks with Grayson Allen. If you can move Beasley for first round value I think you could likely do a three team deal with Phoenix and Milwaukee... Allen comes home to Utah, Vando to Phoenix, Crowder to Milwaukee. We Bucks throw in some second round picks... Phoenix ponies up a protected first... the seconds milwaukee sends go to utah and phoenix.

Phoenix gets a cheap rotation player and saves a **** ton of money this year. We'd have to send out one filler salary.

Allen is a similar player to Beasley imo... he just is going to get picked apart in the playoffs and that is why the Bucks shop him. I think Allen would actually be a better fit as he is a better passer. Makes 8.5M this year and next.

I found it… the trade that got me a @kcgar thumbs down. Time to re-evaluate I guess.

Jake fisher a golf cart… fun but it ain’t that serious. Big Mike is wheelies.

I HATE Grayson Allen. Only Dillon Brooks supersedes Allen.

I would 100%be fine picking up one good piece for Rudy and keeping everyone else to see what they can do. This isn’t a team sniffing a championship, but they are entertaining.
