Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Pretty great deal by Brooklyn all the way around. They saved tons off of their luxury tax bill, got two quality starters and potentially one of the juiciest future picks.

Yeah honestly would you rather have the package we could offer in a three team or that one. They remain competitive and can sell off both DFS and Spencer next year if they rebuild.

Dallas has no clue what they are doing.

We would gladly take that same package for any combination of players that worked salary wise outside of Markkanen/Kessler/Agbaji.
 
Remember how the Laker's best offer was...

1 first round draft pick &
Westbrook's $47 million expiring contract which meant that the Nets would owe +$22 million just to make that trade without dumping a serviceable player

What fools!!! The pick alone wouldn't be worth $22 million. Bunch of buttfors in La La Land. What's that you may ask? Lebron already throwing jabs.

The problem with Simmons is that he is a straight up a-hole. There is nothing to suggest that he will improve or get better "away from the lights." Nobody who plays with him much likes him. There is no feel good redemption story on the way from him.

Imagine at work if they fired many of the coworkers you liked and replaced them with one grating a-hole making twice as much as everyone else. A guy who couldn't even do the job he was hired for. You would hate that guy and the people who hired him.

Players are not a spreadsheet. Unless I'm playing Football Manager. . .

Nothing to suggest? It could not be more obvious that Ben Simmons is struggling from a mental standpoint. I do not think it is debatable. He would absolutely benefit from being away from headlines and this is the exact reason why he wanted this before being traded from Brooklyn. You are right. Players are not a spreadsheet. They are human beings and if you can’t see the human/mental element in Ben Simmons current situation you are being willfully ignorant.

Ben Simmons is obviously not the prize of trade anyways. If we are able to swap out older/expiring contracts and turn it into a premium pick we should do it.

Many here would be dancing if we paid someone $47M to not play basketball at all and trade away many “liked” players because it meant getting picks. Miss me with this concern.
 
Mavs decreased their depth and increased their volatility.

Maybe it works out, but maybe the Mavs just expedited how quickly **** hits the fan.
