2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[TheStormofWar]

Phoenix has 5 players under contract for next season and between KD, Booker, Beal and Ayton they are paying just those four alone 161M next season.

They are going to make sweet, sweet love to that second apron.

I bet the Suns will try to trade Ayton for some role players...not sure who would be interested though.

I don’t really see them doing anything even if they do trade Ayton. Their defense will be even worse and their depth got even worse. Just super weird.

us lol

Nah, we good.

New owner not understanding the consequences of his own actions. Ishbia is the screwing the pooch.

Then don’t trade him?

They want to start tanking.

They want to start tanking.

I find it hard to believe they couldn’t have gotten more from Miami.

To start the tank, Beal had to go.

We aren't usually privy to what each team really offers. I doubt Miami was offering better.

If they weren’t then the market for stars just got corrected hard and that is good for us.

They didn't get a single first round pick.

Finally, pick swaps. I was gonna mention they have pick swaps yesterday but I'm always talking about pick swaps. Just know I knew that they had pick swaps AND THEY ARE VALUABLE (unless being traded to the Wizards who will always be bad).

It doesnt matter if Beal had a preference.

2024, 2026 and/or maybe 2030 if they wait until the new year turns over.

I'm guessing the Wizards GM just wanted to move on while taking back as little bad salary as possible. Gets to make his own team now.

Correct.

If the Wizards can actually maneuver to 3 with Zingis and **** then this salvages that disaster somewhat.

Beal had no value because that NTC essentially dictated his market. The Wizards were screwed the minute they agreed to it.

That was about the best he was going to get.

I love the trade for the Suns. Good on them for going all in

This might be the most poorly constructed “all in” push since the Pierce/KG Nets

But it's well timed.

Denver is strong right now, but as a whole the West is very weak. If they can just avoid Denver in the bracket and hope someone else eliminates them, they have a shot.
