Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Not totally crazy. Our FO been looking for forwards with more offense... so best case is he fits with Lauri and Kessler and he can at least temporarily be the 4 who can defend 3 and worst case is we ship him elsewhere later.

His contract is very movable and he might thrive in a system with more ball sharing.

I like DFS. Very nice contract and I think he’d fit in well with Lauri and Kessler. Doesn’t need the ball on offense like Clarkson or Beasley.
 
I think more contender level teams might see Beasley as the more win now choice unless they have injuries like the Suns
I can see that. Beasley is not a self-creator though so he needs to be fed... and JC is in the new "clutch player ladder" which is a good marketing speech.
 
Dorian Finney Smith is almost 30, trading for him seems like a win now move. Definitely not the trade rumor I expected to see this morning.

DFS is not a forward with more offense. I think his contract is fine and movable so its a whatevs for me... just don't trade any picks for him. He's not some guy with an untapped offensive game though... if that is what you are hoping for I have really bad news for you. He's less offensively diverse than a guy like Royce for example. He's straight 3 and D.
 
Depends with Mike. If he is healthy finishing the year his expiring contract has value just as an expiring. It might fetch a greater return this summer. I also don't think the offers are all that great tbh. Would not be surprised to see Mike finish his deal out here.

Agree on the others... I think their value has likely peaked... we don't have to move them of course but the window on them is now.

I really want to get Kennard in a trade for Mike, especially if we're moving Beasley.
 
I wonder if the DFS stuff is a reaction to watching our team get blasted by perimeter players this year and seeing what DFS did to Donovan last playoffs. It kind of seems crazy to have that type of reaction to our team this year given where we are at.
 
Funnily enough I think he’s the most likely to get traded.
Just because someone thinks he’s most likely traded doesn’t make it the right move. IMO it’s not
Beasley and Vando are two guys that I think are overvalued around the league right now, which makes it good timing to trade them....Vando has a chance to get better, I think Beasley is who he is but I wouldn't mind trading both.

Last chance to move Conley at any semblance of value as well.
I actually think he’s underrated. He’s got a high ceiling IMO

I can see a case for him being underutilized and having more. Had some additional playmaking duties in Detroit. I wonder if his contract is viewed as positive though. He has had injury issues and is having like "knee soreness" games missed again.

He has a better case than a lot of guys imo. I would agree he's a buy low... but want more than just Kennard in that deal.
