2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I don’t think that’s the same as arguing with randoms on Twitter and making burner accounts.

One is in a competitive environment in game, the other is on your couch, man.

I get that, but I find the in game one much more off putting

Based on your statement, who are they more likely to trade?

Fultz, but I won't be surprised if they trade both. Fultz is a free agent next year while Suggs' rookie contract ends in 2025. The least likely to go is Cole Anthony. But I must say the fact that they draft Black worries me because it means they are not really happy with their guard rotation and may see none of them as a core future piece, but to me Fultz right now is already an above average starting PG and given his rising trajectory after the mysterious condition, he will keep getting better. I wonder if the Magic front office knows something we don't.

I’m with Captain Obvious here. Maybe before the Hendricks pick it made some sense. The ivory towers would have had a new pillar.

How much would we have given him? Let's say the 9+28+20251st offer for 5 is accepted and we draft Black/Ausar and Porzingis oped out.... Do we offer him 4/120? Or more?

Maybe. But even then, give me Kessler over Porkins any day. Thank **** for Hendricks.

Yeah I think they would have run all three out there. I’m not a fan for a multitude of reasons.

I think it might have ended up in that range of salary… not quite that high or else he wouldn’t have opted in. My guess is like 3/90 or 4/100 or something like that.

Same with Kuzma, I think he would have made sense as a target before the Hendricks pick but now not so much.

Calling my shot in Kuzma… he will get signed by the Rockets or Kings after every team uses them for leverage.

FYI, 'everyone' is going to be 'linked' to the Jazz that demands high money. Not many teams can offer what we can

This will happen a lot… same with trades… we have lots of stuff so lots of teams will be linked to us. Should be fun for slop season.

I tend to agree here. I genuinely didn't think we'd get Hendricks, but Kuzma is a bit redundant with him on board now. Utah has some interesting players at pretty much every position except a true PG. Even then, we're not exactly hurting there.

Probably. We're in the "we have some fun stuff, but we want MORE stuff" mode and there isn't a lot of opportunity to move this project to a contender yet. I still would prefer not to overspend on just one deal unless we're absorbing for an asset. If we could get someone like a Bowen with breaking the bank, do that and just left our players gel and develop. I wouldn't mind a good vet or two to help mentor the core we are putting together, but that's a "would be nice" rather than "must have". Smart deals, develop our talent, let them play. The fact we have an All-NBA caliber guy in Lauri and an Team USA caliber center in Kessler is just absolutely nuts. So let's add to that a couple of younger shooters and an 3D guy like Hendricks? Unff.
