Woj: Jazz agree to 3-team trade with Lakers and Timberwolves

This is a homerun trade. Markdown I said that in this thread please

 

[idiot]

I guess it's speculation at this point. Thought the other thread had something maybe clearer about this. Might be wrong.

Looks like @YoungJefe was the first to claim it was. Where were you getting it, @YoungJefe ?

surely this can’t be right

They're actually going to have to go on a pretty substantial run to even get there. There's just not a lot of games left, nor time to gel. I wouldn't bet on them ending that high.

Hence why a pick swap this year would’ve been a high-end asset as well.

 

[fishonjazz]

Well, I remember having arguments earlier in the season about whether the jazz intended to tank this season. I think we know now for sure (I mean I was pretty sure all along that the intention was to tank but we surprised everyone including ourselves with how good we started)

So if the Lakers go into the top. 4 the pick owed to Utah just turns into a 2nd. That might be the dumbest trade the Jazz have made. Outside of having to give a 1st to get rid of Favors.

In the end I think I said the bare minimum I would do is a pick swap in 2027 and we ended up with a 2027 top-4 protected first. Obviously not on the higher end of what we were throwing out but still good.

Ainge may have gotten trade raped. Of course if this leads to a total collapse and we end up with the top 2 pick then it is well worth it.

Watch the Lakers in 2027 be absolutely terrible and deliberately tank the hell out of the season to make the final trade Conley/Beasley/Vanderbilt for a 2nd rounder.

My hell what a stupid *** trade.

Wait, your bare minimum was zero first round picks? Or did we get 2 first round picks and only one is protected?

My hell what a stupid *** trade.

I mean before the season most of the board thought we’d have to use assets to get off of Conley’s deal so looks like a win for us.

The stupid thing is the Jazz gave up assets like crazy and still have Rudy Gay and THT on the frigging roster. Like you couldn't switch Gay for Vandy?

I don't think that is likely. When a team owes a top 4 protected pick they aren't likely to play with fire and try to tank that year and risk giving a team a pick in the 5-8 range.

I wish we got rid of Gay.

whoever is that 2027 FRP should be worth it
