What Would Have to be Included in a LaVine Trade to Make it Acceptable?

Dwayne Wade was very high on Ayo and wanted Jazz to draft him
so maybe Ainge is finally listening to him
 
It is possible that a straight up trade for JC x2 if I'm being honest. Depends on what you feel about Key/Sexton. After sleeping on it, I don't think Sexton/Lavine is as much of a disaster as people make it out to be.

If JCx2 is indeed more desirable salary, I think 11 for 29/32 makes decent sense. Two "fake" first rounders has been shown to be able to get into the middle of a normal draft. I'm not sure how 2 real late 1st/early 2nd stack up to 2 fakes, but it's got to be reasonably close. In a bad draft 11 is still more valuable than 29/32 but probably not by as much as you'd might think.
 
The only way I would agree is if Chicago agreed to continue paying his contract 100%. Obviously the jazz would be hung up on real fast but that’s the only way I do that.

This is also the flattest draft I’ve ever followed but probably doesn’t extend to 29/32. So maybe in a weird way that makes 11 more valuable? I’m just rambling here, but it feels like the hits from this draft are gonna mostly be ****ing random so 10/11 are actually pretty nice slots (and probably better than a single top-3 pick).
 
Jazz would have to get #11 pick for #29 and/or #32 also
IMO, this is a salary dump for Chicago. Neither Collins, nor Clarkson have crippling contracts, but Lavine’s could be - depending on his health. If I’m the Jazz I ask for Ayo and a swap of 31 for 11 (fully understanding that it likely gets moved to 29 for 11) plus a future 2nd round picks and/or international prospect to throw away in some other deal later.

I’d still want to keep either 29 or 31. I think there’s going to be at least one surprising guy to fall and the Jazz should have the opportunity to grab him when it happens.

I want to take a flier on Chomche at 32.
