Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Elizah Huge]

It's most likely the Jazz will give up veterans for packages headlined by young players and/or picks.

For example, sources said the Jazz have had discussions about a deal in which a combination of rotation players including Conley and Beasley would go to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for 2027 and 2029 first-round picks and Russell Westbrook, who would likely receive a buyout instead of joining the Jazz. Another rumor making the rounds: The Jazz discussing a deal that would send Beasley and Vanderbilt to the New York Knicks - where Gersson Rosas, the former Minnesota Timberwolves GM who traded for them and gave them their current contracts handles most of the trade calls - for guard Evan Fournier (whose contract New York wants to shed), promising young forward Obi Toppin and draft compensation.

Utah has also had preliminary discussions on a wide variety of potential trades, including deals in which the Jazz would give up draft capital.

From Tim MacMahon’s article that just dropped on ESPN this morning.

Ahead of trade deadline, focused Jazz remind 'it's our job to listen'

Utah's priority is to build a contender for years to come, but can it do so straddling the playoff line and also stocked with picks and flexibility?

I would be thrilled with either of those trades. Hope that the Jazz can pull it off.

What if… we did a version of both? Mike/JC/KO to LA. Beasley Vando to NY. Only take one pick back from the Lakers….

Like o said yesterday… I’d tell both teams we have our hands in a lot of deals… we need their best offer today and we will pick one… with how the NY deal went down no one will call DAs bluff if they really want the deal.

I doubt the Lakers are seriously discussing sending both of the picks considering how stingy they've been so far. Probably more of a description of a possible framework for a trade or what the Jazz are looking for.

One unprotected pick and a swap is fine

One unprotected pick and a swap is fine

Agreed. That seems like a good middle ground and possibly the maximum the Lakers are willing to give up.

And I’d do the swap this year with the Philly pick. NOP is right with us in the standings… Zion likely out a couple more weeks… him and BI could go down for a month at any moment. It’s a solid bet and the downside is limited for LA.

They can have Vando too. But we will need those two Lakers picks with as little protection as possible

They are just quoting known rumors in that specific section. DA and Ryan wouldnt mention specific deals in an interview before the deadline.

Posted in wrong thread.. moved here.

Good article. They are not giving away much about what route they take but they are consistent about saying they only do deals with good value.

Utah has also had preliminary discussions on a wide variety of potential trades, including deals in which the Jazz would give up draft capital.

I'm thinking this is just the DFS discussion and they put it out as smoke and mirrors.. or has anyone else hear us explore some options where we would be sending picks out?

We are offering Conley, THT & every pick/swap we have from other teams for Luka this summer (after Kyrie kills the Mavericks and Luka asks out).
