Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Agree to disagree then. Maybe you could argue some of the distant Wolves picks….but the Cavs picks are almost all likely to be in the 20’s.

Im kind of hoping that lakers pick is in the 20's tbh

Not if the Suns win the nba title this year. That’s what they’re gunning for. cp3 doesn’t have much left in the tank.

That last sentence is one of the reasons they wont win the title this year. They went all in on a very very very short window with a certain and extremely difficult rebuild coming up very soon.

Agreed. I feel like the nets did better though. Kinda like the jazz and cavs trade. I feel like we did better but both teams won.

Suns win for the remainder of this season.... but they better hope they build up Ayton trade value or they might be screwed for a long time.

Even if we forget the CP3 expiring contract and age.... Ayton contract with KD+Book means they are stuck with either a big-3 including Ayton or in a big-2 without proper draft assets or cap space to upgrade depth and starters around the 2.

KD and Ayton combined cost:
79M in 2023-24 +36M from Devin Booker (expires after this year)
84M in 2024-25 + Booker new deal
89M in 2025-26 + Booker new deal

They wont get a huge haul for Ayton, and thus cannot build a big-3 with KD+Book+someone else (no assets) unless they first trade away Ayton and do it through free agency.
 
What do we still need at this point? Clearly we have gone tank mode, so it would make sense to move Clarkson and maybe Kelly.
Prime target would be a young PG or wing with some upside. Any thoughts?

I would call NO and see if we could pry away Dyson Daniels.

This has been an insane trade deadline. NJ just gutted their roster, crazy. They saw us do it and thought, "hey we can do that too", but they didn't get quite as much for their stars as we did for ours.

They gutted their roster and still have a stacked roster of very tradeable players who can keep them in the playoffs.

Yeah but they went from presumed contender to hey we might get to the 2nd round. Was maybe more of a surprise gutting than ours was last summer. I still think we got more assets for our stars than they did for theirs. Time will tell I guess. And time will tell who can do more with those assets.
