Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

KqWIN said:
It's not a bad alternative if there are no real firsts on the table for Vando/anything for Olynyk. If you can resign Hart, which I'd be fairly confident in, that's a strong deal.

I'm also not against bringing back Vando if this is the best deal out there and hoping he makes some improvement. I think he can play better than he has this year, especially on defense.

I don't think they would send Little but he is the other guy you can match salary around that has value. He is locked up on a cheap extension and I think he is one of Dame's favs. I'd take either deal. Maybe the Jazz love Keon Johnson or something but I doubt it. A straight Winslow for Vando trade puts Portland in the tax.

They can always get a third team involved

I think Hart makes a ton of sense for us... I think KO/Vando make a ton of sense for them. No need for another team unless someone wants Hart and will give us something we like better? I think Hart is a pretty ideal fit and I really think it wouldn't be hard to keep him here.

Portland owes a pick to Chicago that is top 14 protected until 2028. Unless they work with Chicago to change the protections they won't be able to trade a pick without language that makes it really tough to guess when/if that pick would be conveyed.

I'd imagine Chicago would let them pull that protection in less than three seconds if they were asked right now. Now would Portland do that? I doubt it.

Oh for sho! Presti has notoriously gotten second round picks for getting adjusted more favorable protections... but the protections on that one would be great to lift. I'd imagine Chicago might even send something minor back to make it happen.

Vando/Gay for Hart works salary wise.

Oh I'd laugh my *** off if we convinced them to take Gay while giving us Hart. That does get them further from the luxury tax but I'd feel a little dirty... I mean I like feeling dirty so its cool.
 
A josh Hart trade likely means major minutes for Gay, which depending upon which side of the tank you are on. . .

Hart is kind of small and average. Well he is not a starter so...

Hart isn't small... he's built like a damn tank... he gets 8 rebounds a game. He might be shorter than Vando but he plays plenty big as a SF with our starters.
 
I don't really see what the deal would be from Portland's POV.

If they're motivated either: a) mainly by money and want to get off of Hart for a longer cost-controlled set of players, I guess I can see that; or b) if they're willing to go all in now and give up a prospect the Jazz like, I guess I could see that.

But I don't much value of them swapping out either Hart or Winslow for Vando/Vando+. Losing their best non-center rebounding/toughness for Vando doesn't seem like much of a benefit, unless they plan on moving Grant to SF and playing Vando and Grant together (not sure that's something I'd recommend, but maybe it can work).

I doubt the Blazers would take Gay.

Think I saw Vando/Gay for Hart on a Blazers fan site. People weren't jumping on the bandwagon, but neither were they turning their nose up at it. I take that too mean it's within the realm of possibility.
