Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Disagree - the Knicks picks would only be valuable if we got a big enough trade to cripple them, but that wasn’t what was being offered. The Knicks would of had enough resources to add one more impact player this year or next, which would have devalued their picks.

The Cavs picks are at least lottery tickets with the potential of being higher if Mitchell leaves when his contract is up. Also, the players received are much better than what was being offered by the Knicks.
 
I just had the feeling behind the scenes that DM was kind of a pain in the behind to some of the Jazz FO. From his feud with Rudy, to his power play that led to the firing of the trainer, to never staying completely healthy, to his lack of D in the playoffs to our early exits from the playoffs, I can see why some just wanted a divorce.
 
I have a question. Hopefully someone has an answer.

Regarding 2027, the Jazz have the right to swap picks with Cleveland
AND the right to swap picks with Minny.

So, how does that work?

We can’t swap picks with both of them. One of them will get to keep their pick, right?

I’m really not too Jazzed about this trade. Gun to my head: the Cavs are good through 2029. The rest of the players in the deal would’ve been really good around Gobert, so I kinda wish we could maybe go back in time and just do this deal (and maybe the Jazz have more leverage with the Knicks if Gobert is still here).

IDK, it just feels like the Jazz still have a lot of work to do. The draft assets and youth we have are mostly backloaded. But the team looks like it could still be kinda good. To make serious rebuilding progress the Jazz really have to bottom out the next two years cuz the Jazz aren’t getting any extra lottery picks from the Knicks or whoever. And the swaps we get in any deal won’t even happen if the Jazz are treadmilling when we get in the money with the picks and swaps. We need to bottom out hard and rebound hard heading into the period.

We have a lot of useful complementary guys, nothing to build around, and little certainty that the picks in five years are going to amount to much. The Jazz have to commit themselves to maximizing their odds in the next couple of drafts.

Yeah, the picks will suck if we actually use them. But they will be huge pieces for a major trade.

Both Cavs and Wolves are going to be solid team for the next 5 years at least. Teams that have no reason to tank will stay relevant. Only thing that can happen is terrible injury luck one year.
 
I see Tony Jones called bs on Buchner but he only said that the real offer was in his athletic article. Anyone read the article?

First, in 2027, as it shows in the screenshot you included, we have both CLE and MIN’s 1st round picks (both unprotected). 2026 is when we have swaps with both. Easiest way to think about it is we will essentially get the highest pick amongst us, CLE and MIN that year. If we do end up swapping picks, that’s all that will happen. The other team will simply just keep their pick that year.
