Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I should have waited for the full details first you’re right. In the end I was fine with a pick swap as the bare minimum let alone a top-4 protected first so I’m still happy. Obviously it not as good as it conveying as unprotected in 2028.
But when someone gives details from a reliable source... like you can go ahead and judge it... its fine.

It is very much less good... but still a fine deal. This was the only deal on the board that likely makes us bad enough to get to the 6/7 spot.
 
Yeah, I’m not sure how I am eating crow when I was going off of a fake report from someone on here.
You said it's superduper-awesome - because the Lakers will be awful. If that's true, then it's most likely a 2nd rounder. Then it has little trade value, and you can't just say we won't be the one using it.
 
@Handlogten's Heros do you still like this trade?
Yes... I am team tank. I REALLY liked it before... but the pick protections give just a little pause that makes me uneasy. Under the worst case scenario where the pick lands top 4 and we don't get it... I am still cool with it. The cap space and the tank are important aspects of the deal.
 
NAW proves he's useful and is a RFA. All I can do is shake my head at this nonsense. Again, I hope we trade JC so he doesn't have to drown in this garbage.
 
We did. Pretty garbage trade. Really gonna suck of conley makes our wolves pick worse

Watch him and NAW both help them big time. If he plays as well for them as he played for us and the coach actually gives him consistent minutes then he can help them a ton off the bench.
 
Full deal:

Jazz out: Conley, Beasley, Vanderbilt, NAW, three second round picks

Jazz in: Westbrook, Toscano-Anderson, Jones, lightly protected 2027 Lakers first

Holy hell that looks so bad. Especially if it ends up being a 2nd round pick to the jazz instead of a first rounder

Oof that clarified pick protection hurts. Also major copium to say “it’s someone else’s problem” as if this does not effect the trade value of that pick haha. If the plan is to trade the pick it is our problem.

I didn’t value what we sent out much, so I think this is still a deal I would have accepted, but this definitely isn’t a slam dunk. It’s worse than 99% of the fake versions of this trade made on this forum, including versions coming from people who like this trade (myself included). Please do not pretend that when we put Lakers 2027 in the trade posts we actually meant 1-4 protected and then it turns into a second.
 
Unlike others I won't receive new information and ignore it... and in some cases dig deeper. Its still an acceptable deal and pushes us the direction we should go... just has a little extra downside.
