Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I feel like if Mike gets traded it will be a "of course you make that trade!" type of thing. Danny wouldn't cross the street for a second rounder. Mike isn't getting traded for some seconds and some expirings.

I think if Mike goes to the Clips its because DA either loves Kennard (maybe he thinks there is more there) or got a first. If I squint I can see a Kennard/Wall/Coffey deal with a 1st round pick swap this year and some other seconds. It also might mean we found something for Malik and maybe shopped Coffey for something... like could you route Coffey to Phoenix with Vando for Crowder (Crowder goes elsewhere) and maybe a protected first?

I think I'm seeing enough motivation and pieces there but its kinda a bunch of moving parts.

Jackson/Wall/Coffey and a pick swap with the Philly pick plus a couple seconds I guess could work... I'd only do it if I thought Mike wanted it and if I had plans to make the other moves necessary to get cap space.

Really? That would stink IMO. You'd HAVE to throw in LK to make that even taste good at all, and I'd even want Brandon Boston along with Kennard and whatever crap vet salary filler along with the swap.

No battle.

There is real value in a pick swap between the Clippers pick and the Brooklyn/Philly pick. I think OKC has first dibs on that pick so I am not sure how that works. Turning a 25 to a 16 in this draft would be fantastic!

If we wanted cap space and we wanted to suck (I am not sure we want either but I also wouldn't think we would want THT so...). I think Boston and other stuff could certainly get worked in there. The second year on Conley's deal has seemed to be a bit of a millstone.

Yeah... it kinda protects it from getting too great but even if you jump from 27 to 20/21 its meaningful imo. OKC has the right to swap picks... so if Clips tanked to below where the Thunder are we would then swap picks with the Thunder. Either way I think you are looking at moving up at least 5 spots. Maybe more like 8 or 9 as Philly is rolling right now and Clips may stay in their current place.
 
So I guess it could end up Kennard/Wall (expiring), Coffey (cheap wing) for Mike and then we get a pick swap this year and a couple seconds in 28/29. That is really a tank move... so would move us down the standings significantly... would need to factor that in. I would think a Beasley move would follow.
 
Does Olynyk for Robinson get us a second rounder? I’d make them eat Gay in the deal. Then move Beasley to wherever you can get a first. And Vando.

And then do that Clippers deal.
 
If you did the clippers deal we are like 1.5 games out of the 8th spot. It would likely send us spiraling a bit. IF we did not spiral it is because Collin or NAW or THT emerged as a viable starting option... so kind of a win win.
