Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Plus we gave up two second rounders to the wolves? All of that for just one protected Lakers first?

I need to know what the protection is on the pick and what it conveys to if it lands within the protection.
Who cares what the protection is, there’s a good chance the lakers are going to be super bad
This is a homerun...
I’m being dead serious when I ask this, but help me understand how this is a home run?
 
Holy **** what a ********.Mike to T-wolves to make them better ad the **** return coming back from all of this. Unless the team will tank hard rest of the season and make sure entering high chances for high picks this trade was a complete joke. With our schedule remaining even without Mike we might win quite a lot of games - especially if JC is still with the team.
 
You and I are the only ones that think so.
Look I'm old enough to remember when all we got were some picks in the late 20s for Rudy and Donovan... now everyone bitching about getting ANOTHER pick for the leftovers while clearing elventy billion dollarbucks in cap space and saving the tank. DA is honestly an artist.
 
I mean we weren't locked to make the playoffs
with the full roster built around Lauri/JC before the deal and we surely aren't making the playoffs now after the trade.

It's not a guarantee we will be good comes 2025 or 2026. It's not a given that Lakers will be terrible in 2027 either.

Giving up half of our rotation now to exchange our 35th pick in 2025 and 38th pick in 2026 for Lakers 28th pick in 2027 is very much a possibility.
 
How is a top 4 protected pick in 2027 for Conley, Beasley, Vandy, 2 future 2RPs, and NAW a good deal lol

Considering Kyrie Irving was just traded for a similar pick I think we did just fine. Also, we keep the Pelicans from getting another top-10 pick while making our pick worse at the same time. People need to wake the **** up.
