Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Handlogten's Heros]

It was honestly a rehash of what we say on here daily. Most interesting to me is Lauri is extension eligible this summer and Windhorst said we can offer close to 100M. I think that’s over 3 years? I wonder if Lauri would take that or bet on himself to have another all-star season. Probably the latter but it’s interesting anyways.

No way he takes it... our hopes on an extension rest on the rules changing or in doing a renegotiate and extend if we get under the cap far enough. Might be something to consider in 2 summers when Mike's deal expires.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Yeah...it sounds like Dallas values DFS a lot so I don't see them doing that without getting one of those picks. Hope we don't make a deal like that.

It only makes sense if they are gathering ammo to go get a star later.

I think Vando to Indiana for the Boston pick they own or the Houston second rounder is the most likely destination. Vando as a non shooter (or just okayish shooter) works well for them, is young, its a cheap flier... they take him right into their cap space and it gives us a little more room to add salary in a trade if it helps us get something done.

He would be very good for them IMO. They try to force turnovers, Hardy does not. There's a reason why there's such a huge difference between Vando/Kessler being on the court.

Not much new from Andy Larsen's interview on ESPN700. Said the Jazz value Beasley's shooting but aren't thrilled with the rest of his game, mainly his defense and shot selection. Said they've also been a little disappointed in Sexton but didn't really elaborate on what parts of his game they've been disappointed with. They would move Mike if the right opportunity comes along.

Said they won't make a trade to make them better this season unless it also makes them better in the future, like John Collins or Dorian Finney Smith. Said having a primary ball handling defender that can also shoot 40% from 3 would be very valuable on the championship contending team the Jazz hope to be in the future.

The DFS thing will perplex me... which is why it probably happens and I have a THT downpayment level freak out.

Listened to MacMahon's interview on ESPN700 and he said there is no way it happens because the only player on the Jazz roster the Mavs would trade DFS for is Markkanen.

That's exactly what we we should be focused on finding.

So ... Cason Wallace in the draft, maybe Black? (just going off reputation)

Good thing they didnt elaborate, got to keep his trade value high

I’d rather have stats back up what I see rather than dismissing stats because it doesn’t match what I see.

That is an excellent description of the confirmation bias to which the poster responded. In many ways, it's better to be proven wrong, because you learn more.

What if you aren’t wrong though?

It doesn't alter the bias.
