2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[NUMBERICA]

When Danny signs Kuzma, drafts JHS and Bilal, you can just start calling me Danny Ainge.

I’m not sure I get why the Jazz want Kuzma. I know people are enamored with the notion of Lauri being a 3 but he really isn’t. He can do it if required but he’s a 4 and Kuzma doesn’t bring to the table what would allow a lineup with Lauri at the 5 to be viable.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Ummm okay? No idea why those things would lead to each other.

Because they're less inclined to use the #7 pick to draft Hendricks to play the same position, and they'd prefer to see what else they can do with the pick.

Kuzma has playmaking skills that would replace what KO brings us and allow Lauri to be the 4/3 type instead of being more perimeter based like a lot of similarly sized players as Kuzma would.

There's time for Bilal to come over and do a couple workouts with teams this week. Just sayin.

Nah, he should just ride the hype wave of his combine video into the draft.

Kuzma would allow Lauri to be more "4-y" than KO would and we played a lot of KO/Lauri/WK lineups.

If he can shoot okay in an open gym then people are gonna **** their nuts.

They had a pro-day esque showing for the executives who came to watch the Finals series. They arent going to do team workouts, at least not publicized ones.

Ummm they could draft another player if they really thought that. Signing Kuzma would mean they are more likely to keep their pick imo… but really they have nothing to do with each other.

For the people who think Bilal is just an athlete.

Just don’t let him do any off the dribble drills. What he really should do is make a workout video of making as many open threes as he can to really add fuel to the hype machine.

Is he good enough to be picked 9th? I like the possibilities in his future. But not sure if I’m sold on him at 9

I have him ranked 16th, so I'm not super high on him as others, but I do like him and if I did a board solely based on upside he would be more like 10thish.

I dont know who the safe player is at 9. Gradey Dick? I think everyone in this draft has significant questions and "safe" isnt really in my decision making process for the 9th pick.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

What if the Jazz were able to trade up to 10 while keeping 9 and drafted Ausar and Bilal? Jazz would be insanely athletic and long.

It would also just be hilarious to see Elizah Huge be wrong after all his "Jazz cant possibly have Bilal at 9 on their big board" rants.

Even more hilarious if Bilal is never good in the NBA.

Not happening so you can fantasize all you want. Don’t worry I have receipts on your Bilal’s ceiling is 6 and his floor is 9 take yesterday.

 

[Elizah Huge]

Bilal going 9 is literally the worst timeline. That means we passed on someone good and reached hard. Then we’d never hear the end of it from Ferg and Cy.

What would you hear from me? Lmao. Everyone would end up talking themselves into loving it and we would just bump your over the top rants. You'd be hearing it from everyone.
