Trade up? What are you willing to give up?

[framer]

In anger or joy? I honestly can't tell

In joy. If I am in the "war room" no more calls need to be made. We are good.

 

[oldtimer]

I’d give up 9, 16, 28, six other 1sts we have over the next four years, and Lauri for the 1st pick.

What? Go be a laker fan

 

[Eddie Zero]

No thanks. I wouldnt even do that for a giannis, booker, luka, tatum, etc. much less a dude who has done nothing in the nba.

I bet every gm in the league would trade all those picks and not the Finnisher or most of them with the Finnisher to land Wemby , and SAS would say gfys

Not actually trading up, but trading down with the last pick. How about trading the 28th to Charlotte for the 34th and 41st picks? We could still get 2 guys like Brandin Podz, Tristan Vukcevic, Amari Bailey, Jalen Wilson, Julian Strawther, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Ben Sheppard, Emoni Bates, and Olivier-Max Prosper.

Normally I would be down but we don’t need 4 rookies going into next season.

Generally agree. We'll see what Trader Danny brings us this offseason and if having guys on rookie contracts will be beneficial.

Just thinking if we can trade up and go after Portlands 3rd pick and then take Scoot with that 3rd pick and then trade up Orlando´s 6th pick too on the same time. And then get front court player like Jarace Walker, Cam Whitmore, Taylor Hendricks or Ausar Thompson with that 6th pick. Getting Scoot probably will mean that we have to go to find 3 team trade with Portland and someother team (Philadelpia for example with Embiid, some other team?) and that would cost us probably somewhere minimum 3-5 first rounders depended of situation. And as some other experts/commentators has suggested, the another idea is to get the 6th pick from Orlando too, which would probably mean that Utah gets some good frountcourt player with that 6th pick from this years draft. That 6th pick probably could be acquired by giving Orlando Utah's 9th, 16th and 28 pick from this years draft. So what i am basically suggesting is that Utah gives all its extra first rounders in next 5 years (6-8) what we acquired in previous trades with Minnesota, Cleveland and Lakers to get up in this years draft to positions 3 and 6. And then we just draft Scoot and one frount court player with those picks. That would mean that Utah's future starting line up would be something like: Walker Kessler, Lauri Markkanen, 6 pick forward from this draft, Ochie/Clarkson, Scoot Hendersson + Olynyk, Dunn, THT, others (if not traded in the process), That would also mean that because we would have so many players in rookie scale salary in our roster in next few years we could still be very active in free agent market to acquire more needed talent +we still have about all our own first and second round picks in next 5 years too. I think that this might be a good solid move to Utah, which would give them a young and talented team to build up next 5-10 years. Any thoughs?

NO. HARD PASS

Ya, I want to like him. I’ve watched his highlights so many times trying to like him but his mechanics are so slow. I’m sure he’s athletic but when he moves it’s like he’s in slow motion.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Im guessing that Ochai is part of our future plans. I don't think he's on the table.

So you’re telling me if Portland came to the jazz and said give me 9 Ochai and the cle pick, and Scoot is there for the taking jazz will tell them no we like Ochai too much? If this is how the jazz think and operate then we aren’t ever winning a championship

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I'd think long and hard about Lauri for #2. Hard pass on #3. IMO you better really like Brandon Miller or T. Hendricks to aggressively move up for #3 - we'll get a very good player at #9 as it stands.

We need Markkanen if we want to be serious contenders. Unless Scoot is Steph Curry type of transcendent pg, pg’s usually don’t put you over the top, they just make you a really good regular season team as the main star.

Here’s a question what is the lowest you’d go to move up with 9/16?

Would you do it for 7 or would the minimum be 6?

What about all 3? Would you do that for 6 or would the minimum be 5?

I’d do it for top 3, the twins possibly Whitmore and Walker that’s it and Walker and Whitmore is pushing it.

You aren’t getting a top-3 pick with 9/16/28.

That wasn't the propsed trade though silly. It was all those picks AND the finnisher.
