Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Handlogten's Heros]

I will say I doubt we get anything better than Bones on his own, but the odds are higher that he's in a package deal.

I think the ideal scenario is that Minny sends out Naz for Bones. I think they are worried about not having him... but he's also critical to the locker room from what insiders say. It pisses off Ant and they start to suck again. But Minny just wanted to get something before losing Naz for nothing.

Ironic that we're talking about having too many no defense, all offense players now but when we were actually trying to win a championship (but getting fried on defense) we couldn't make any offense for defense trades.

Its a long term concern for me... don't care if we address it now. I am just uninterested in getting more guys that are oriented that way (or projected to be).

That's a no for me.

Acquiring talent is the most important thing, especially talent that is tied to controllable contracts.

So we should go get John Collins then right?

I think it's a fair concern, but it was definitely a concern when the pressure was on to win immediately with Don/Rudy. I'm all about getting the right players in the right situation, which is why I was dying for us to make a move with Don/Rudy. It never happened. The solutions to our defense was Miye Oni one year and old *** Rudy Gay the next year.

We can bury the rumor on the secret team offering 3 firsts for OG. It was the Knicks and quite obviously they offered the protected picks.

I would explore a deal for Hyland AND Nnaji together if they are really shopping them both, including trading one of our firsts , obviously only one this draft preferably the late one BKN HOU PHI . Maybe something like Vander,NAW BKN/PHI 1st top 25 protected and a future CLE pick swap for Hyland ,Nnaji, & Watson.
A couple 2-3 year players still not in prime, fit timeline for a rebuild seems reasonable for a Danny Ainge retool move If he decides not to move JC & or Mike yet.
Then you only need to draft 2 rookies instead of bringing in 3 Hardy bench warmers.

I like the idea. It fits our timeline better as you said. However it also largely depends on our draft position and who we get.

I wonder if Atlanta would rather have LeVert instead of Beasley if it meant they didn’t have to add any draft capital and Cleveland supplemented us with seconds?

That trade is really rough.

I think they have to give a swap of their pick this year or the Kings pick if they want some version of our trade. I would actually think KO and Malik for JC would be a better fit for them... but the Vando contract value is obviously appealing.

Is getting Jalen Johnson or AJ Griffin from Atlanta realistic? Id love to add Gay for one of those guys in place of a future first to the Beasley+Vando framework
