Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[infection]

A solid trade deadline would be picking up a guy like Ball and grabbing another first rounder. Two is gravy.

When DA calls other GM's its gotta feel a lot like your long lost high school friend calling about Herbalife.

Saw the Hawks benched Capela and started Okongwu.

May be a sign they are trying to make it work with Collins. Got to think that means more touches for Collins going to the rim.

Like 3 days ago one guy from Squawk said they are working on a deal with Suns focused around Ayton. Capela was one of the pieces going to Phoenix.

JC wasnt in that scenario, but if they get a spacing 5 like Ayton they could move OO to 4 and JC eould become redundant.

I do think if you trade Conley you are going to be either hurting or slowing the growth of WK/Lauri (and everyone on the roster really).

I just cant see those guys developing as well with Sexton as a full-time starter.

I would only trade Conley if we are bringing in another pg or a really good trade overall. Trading away Conley also hurts the other guards development, especially Sexton. Dumping Conley to free up a little space next year isn't worth it. We are unlikely to sign a decent free agent without overpaying. We're more likely to trade Conley's expiring contract for a good player.

Any trade involving Conley needs to have Gay attached to it and no bad contracts coming back our way unless the draft pick attached is a good one which it likely wouldn't be.

It’s getting to the point that we have a good thing going , Conley mostly is a calming effect on this group .

I do get trading Beasley , and to a lesser extent JV if we get something worthwhile

I haven’t enjoyed a season like this for a while.

They didn't bench Capela. He is just coming back from missing 10 straight games from injury.

I wish we could trade for Trae Young

Trae is seriously underrated on jazzfanz.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Trae is seriously underrated on jazzfanz.

I dont think he's underrated, people just dont want to watch small ball dominant guards who dont D up.

I hope not. Unless he is some kind of trade fodder he does nothing to move the needle, unless we are entering tank mode for real.

 

[Ron Mexico]

All these reader rumors tend to be PFs I think three jazz want to upgrade that position.

Rui gonna have a Lauri type awakening (god i hope........I love him so much....)

Rui has one of the lowest BBIQ's in the league. For real. It's almost like he just doesn't get it.

Pass

I agree, but if a deal doesn't cost too much. like say maybe it's a Rudy Gay trade or a trade exception/2nd round pick

I think that was one of the main assessments for Sexton as well.

I think proper coaching and preparation can help in this area.

To add a bit to that, I think most of us think Sexton is simply a microwave scorer off the bench and not much more and that he cant run a team as a full time starting point guard.
Well something I think a lot of us have noticed is that Hardy coaches Sexton more and harder than anyone on the team.
Seems to me that a simple microwave scorer off the bench would need the least amount of coaching. Pretty easy role to understand. Go in and put the ball in the hoop. If you are missing, keep shooting. Like JC with quin. Doesn't need much coaching.

The fact that Hardy spends to much time coaching Sexton so hard makes me wonder if Hardy sees a lot more in Sexton than many of us think is there. Maybe Hardy thinks Sexton is the pg of the future.
