Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Flc said:
Lauri is an all-star for the first time in his career. He loves Utah. He loves Hardy. He knows the team has an amazing cache of resources they'll use to build a team around him. Wouldn't worry about that.

I am not worried about it and it's not my problem. But if you think players don't consider the impact of loyalty I think you are mistaken. I recall when AD would not consider the Celtics because of how Ainge treated some players. It is real and would be for me as a player. Like all of us, players understand making short term sacrifice for longer term benefit but long term cant be to far out that it is irrelevant. This trade shows that we placed minimal value on some guys that were not only well liked but part of the fabric of what this team had united around. When a team and its fans are more excited about trade deadlines and draft day than they are about game day and winning it is interesting to consider what your goals really are. We need talent, not more potential assets.

Those seconds are flying around like migrating flocks... Feels like teams don't really value them a ton.

Multiple seconds just land teams the likes of Thomas Bryant, Jalen McDaniels, Thybulle, Crowder. Teams don't value them a ton? Don't think so......
 
I do think we should get Ben Simmons if he is available and being offered with draft compensation.

I dont think cap-space is super valuable anymore. Teams seem to only get 2nd rounders for cap-space. You got to really save a team a big chunk of cash to get the first and why not do it with someone who has potential?

I just dont think Brooklyn is currently in desperation to get off Simmons though, but could be wrong.
 
In Tony Jones latest article he says the Jazz plan to remain active in conversations up to the deadline and that there is on the market in Clarkson and Olynyk.
