Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[jom2003]

To me its simply a first round pick. Top 4 protected aint a big deal. It might be the 10th pick. Might be the 20th. We have no clue.

There is a bigger chance that the Lakers pick hits its floor(becomes a late first or end up in the top 4 then turns into a second rounder) than it reaches its ceiling(remains in the lottery and somehow avoid the top 4).

The Knicks first is safely projected to be a mid-to-late teens in one of the most loaded draft class in recent yeats.

We aren’t trying to get better this year obviously. I actually think Portland got worse when they’re trying to make the playoffs.

I feel like we could get worse by making good trades instead of bad ones though. I mean getting worse shouldnt be hard and if that was the only point then we should have traded hella dudes when we were 10-3 and all their value was booming off the charts.
Ainge ****ed this one up.

Yeah, I don’t agree with this at all. Not really going to rehash what I’ve explained already today either.

Josh Hart was also likely going to walk in free agency anyways so the Blazers got a mid FRP and a flier on Reddish

Yep. Sometimes it's important to realize doing no trade is better than doing a bad one. Beasley/Mike/Vando are all locked for another year so there's literally no reason for us to rush into a trade here. A wasted opportunity really

Half the guys in the NBA aren’t tradeable until mid December, I don’t think this was a realistic option

Because I'm pointing out a very obvious fact that Clarkson is going to be better than Ochai Agabji or THT and you say the BS you said man. That's arguing just to argue or you are just extremely stupid.

I just havent seen clarkson play on a tanking team yet with lesser players around him….. until tonight. It was ugly. I know you werent watching closely but he looked horrible. Not just missing shots. Not even thinking about defense. Horrible body language. He has sexton running the offense now rather than conley right?
I think ochai will likely play hard each night and not take too many shots/will be willing to move the ball.

I mean clarkson is the better player and probably makes us win more than ochai going forward, i agree with you. But watching clarkson tonight, he looked heartbroken and like he was giving up.
Only played 24 minutes of garbage ball. Ochai also played 24 minutes of garbage ball lol.

Its looking like we gonna suck regardless.

I think conley, clarkson, and gay were.

I bet when we were rolling to start the year we could have traded conley, clarkson, and gay for a protected 1st and be near dead last in the league right now.
Probably wouldnt have even had to include 3 second round oicks and taken back bad salary and got rid of young dudes with potential on cheap contracts either.

It's wild to me that we all obsess over the deadline and complain about how it makes us focus too much on twitter/NBA news, but cant fathom how it affects the actual players and how they would perform in the games that are directly next to the deadline when they know they are on the block.

I get you point and agree with you.
Tonight we were at home and minnesota had dudes involved in trade talks too and like 6 dudes out with a couple of them starters and we got absolutely destroyed.

Maybe it was just the trade deadline. Maybe we suck. I mean it isnt like we just started sucking when the trade deadline was near. We been sucking for a long long time now and just traded away half the rotation.

I think we gonna suck. We will see i guess.

Sexton was pretty awesome individually at least. 22 points on 10 shots! 5 rebounds, 5 assists. Zero turnovers.

The second and third quarters the Jazz did too much jackpotting around and playing in tuxedos.

Minnesota had 1 player in trade rumors though. It's not like their whole team was on the block like Utah. I would say it's a pretty different thing. Also the whole aspect of the FO making a trade to make your team worse on purpose is kind of demotivating.

Russell Westbrook trade grades: Lakers, Timberwolves don't move needle much, while Jazz come out big winner

Los Angeles also send one first-round pick to Utah in eight-player deal
