Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Where are all the folks that lold about the Jazz won't tank... yada yada yada... we tanking the eff outta this B. Silver can't even bitch about it cuz we helped the Lakers... likely throws a few extra ping pong balls our way to help out.

Losing Vando (a guy with no discernible ball skills), Beasley (shooting a meh .359 from the perimeter this season on a preposterous 9 attempts per game) and Conley (one of the main culprits for our terrible point-of-attack defense) likely makes us better, not worse.
 
Something weird must be going on. Typically when Shams/Woj are tweeting about a deal like this, it's basically on the 1 yard line and gets pushed through within the hour.

Maybe it's like that Memphis trade, think it was even with the Lakers, where it fell through because they confused the 2 Brooks'

Dillon Brooks · MarShon Brooks

If anybody else remembers that

Same thing happened with the Jazz/Knicks Don deal in the summer. When Shams tweeted and wrote an article about it I figured it was a done deal...and we all know how that turned out.

That one was like "they have re-engaged in talks" IIRC. This one is much more specific and seemed like it was nearly done.

Looks like my 2 hour window theory was wrong.
 
We're swapping the BKN/PHI pick from the Royce trade.
That's why I'm asking the "how". We are getting the "least favorable" pick out of the Nets/Rockets/Sixers. If we are able to swap that pick with the Lakers then it certainly would not be the “least favorable” out of the four. What would stop the Nets or Sixers from swapping their pick with us?

Let's say Sixers all of a sudden decide to blow it up now and tank their way to the #1 pick, does that pick go the Rockets or the Nets?

We only trade our rights to the pick... it doesn't affect the others.
