Would you trade ...

Why? That’s a terrible deal for the Jazz. None of those guys moves the needle towards contending at all. There has to be a better way to build around Rudy and Donovan than taking on the Lakers trash and wrecking our future cap space.
Jazz wouldn't be wrecking future cap space. It would be up to them whether they wanted to re-sign/match on Nance and Randle.

I think Nance and Clarkson could actually be nice pieces for this team.
 
Without a doubt he is their most unavailable player (when considering his fit on a super-team [SUPER GREAT FIT], that his salary is practically nothing, and that he is probably already their best player).
You underestimate the value of cap space. The Bulls almost traded Jordan so they could clear Bill Wennington’s contract but the other team didn’t want to compromise their cap flexibility.

I disagree

I am a big fan of the offense that Clarkson brings in off the bench. I would rather have Clarkson as the 6th man than Burks.

Nance is a a super athletic face up 4 that has a growing jump shooting game

I think the Jazz developmental staff could do wonders for Randle and he could be the missing piece at the 4
 
I still don't think Randle fits on this team or really very much in the modern NBA as he currently is.

I also think his name carries a premium and would require more money to keep.

I see more promise in Nance.

Randle the missing piece ? If he could shoot

them crazy eyes .. yikes
 
Ingram/Kuzma or bust imho. If we are going to bless the Lakers with a chance at LeBron, it should come with a young, exciting draft pick. That's it. Anything short of that is a waste of time.

The Lakers only would trade players to dump salary. But we aren't doing that for the likes of randle and nance. No way. No chance.
 
I think we are the front runner when Nikola Mirotic becomes available. He has a no trade clause so if he doesn't like the situation he can nix the deal... will suppress his trade value a bit. I think Chicago will absolutely move him before the deadline and I'd like to have him. As I have read about him I think he has a bit of a different personality that may rub some the wrong way, but I think he's one of those guys that if you make sure he feels valued that he will be be just fine.

Having a defined role and a starting spot on a good team I think would help him have sustained success.

As far as trade assets I would offer a combo of expirings and our second round pick. We could send Favs+Jonas+2nd for Mirotic for example. Both Jonas an Niko have an unguaranteed 2nd year... this way we give them some of the contract fodder they may need to swing a draft night deal.

Predicting trades in the NBA is tough but I think this one has a legit shot at happening. Not a ton of teams have the expirings to match Niko's contract and I don't see anyone willing to pony up a first for him.

I like mirotic a lot and think he would do well in our system.

I also would love to trade favors to Milwaukee for Malcom Brogdon
