Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

If you are buying into Lakers Jazz trade is done conspiracies... it would 100% make sense to wait until later today to announce that... let Bron have his night and news cycle before taking attention away from him.
 
KO and the BKN/PHI pick for Wiseman + Moody? It's actually really hard to make a trade work with the Warriors (except for all the players they'd never trade).
the trade teh Warriors should do is Wiseman and Moody for Zach Collins... saves them eleventy billions of dollars and gives them a player they can use.
 
Also, had a dream we traded KO to the Warriors. Don't know for what.
I had a dream I was playing pickup with Memo... he tried to dunk on me and got rim checked... we all had a good laugh.

I need a different hobby.
 
I'm meeting mike and monty at Best Buy in a few minutes.... will let you know what is going down.
Monty says Danny wants a lot for our good players and other GMs are mad. Says our really really good players aren't going to be traded.

Mike says something big is coming but he can't tell me what or when but its "for realsies".

Stay tuned.

I’m still laughing at the fact that he said it will involve rotation players and could happen anytime before the deadline lmao. Can you get any more generic than that.

can you confirm that they are, in fact, two separate people?

either way, well done on having those levels of connections
 
I can confirm that any player that gets traded from our team will be a player who’s on our roster and it will before the trade deadline. This is all according to my sources.
If nothing happens:

I told you it was big. Us trading no one is big. It also involved our rotational pieces.. not getting traded. Huge surprise. I warned you.
 
Conley/Beasley/Vando for Westbrook/first is the realistic best case scenario for us right now. Frees up more playing time for Sexton and Agbaji.

I agree but i really think if you dont get the 2nd unprotected first (and the Lakers shouldnt do that if they are smart anyway), you have to mandate the swap this year. The Lakers still come out looking good overall since they still get a pick.
 
There are lots of ways to negotiate… I doubt Ainge loses any clout by bending and finding middle ground… actually might facilitate deals in the future.

If it’s a deal that brings long term value and it’s the best deal on the table… I take it.
Are we just going to pretend that the Lakers front office is going to be employed two years from now? Screw 'em.
 
30M+ in cap space... getting a swap that moves us up 8-10 spots is not "doing a trade for trades sake". That is first round value... last year Detroit was able to use their space to acquire picks and move into the late lotto to get Jalen Duren.

Is it amazing value? Probably not... but it absolutely has a purpose.
Yeah, this is the kind of thing we may be coming down to: deals that are considerably less sexy than the ones we've long imagined are out there. I'd personally probably do your Conley, Gay, Olynyk for Westbrook/pick swap. But I imagine it's not going to be popular if it comes down to that.

I don't know whether DA/JZ/RS pull the trigger on such non-lopsided deals, however. Guess we'll see.
