Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Suns receive: Kevin Durant, DFS, Claxton
Nets receive: Cam Johnson, Bridges, Crowder, Ayton, 3 FRP
Basically it feels like they are saying "chill... KD gonna ball out for us this season then we move him to Phoenix... everyone do your business accordingly".

They should sell off the assets individually to get a better return. KD will take every draft pick from whatever team they trade him to.
 
Also on draft night you can see where teams land and make a deal to get a top 5 pick if there are interested teams up there... Toronto may only sell off a couple parts until they see what happens with KD.
 
Siakam trade bout to go down? Is it the first chip to fall?

If Raptors want a firesale they need to start early to gaslight armsrace and FOMO among buyers.
 
If I were the Raptors and was preparing to do a fire sale, the three deals I'd do:

1. Raptors receive: Russell Westbrook, Max Christie, 2027 FRP, 2029 FRP | Lakers receive: FVV, GTJ
2. Raptors receive: Dillon Brooks, Ziare Williams, 2024 FRP, 2026 FRP | Grizzles receive: OG Anunoby
3. Raptors receive: Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton, 2023 FRR (via PHI), 2027 FRP (via PHI), 2029 FRP (via DAL) | Nets receive: Siakam, Boucher

Collect some interesting young players in Williams / Christie, expiring deals in Brooks/Westbrook, starting center in Claxton, reclamation project in Simmons. Go full tank mode for Vic while picking up additional firsts in 2023, 2024, 2026, 2027 (2), and 2029 (2).
 
Is the rumor mill and trade market heating up on Korkmaz yet? haha
Nah, they are looking for a Mitchell AND Gobert level package combined for him. Why would they take anything less? Him asking for a trade threw the entire NBA into a tizzy. It'll be right at the deadline, I tell you what.
