I like the fit too, but our 2 top rookies from last year plus 4 first round picks seems too much to me to even consider it. Keyonte, Hendrix, #10 this year, plus one of the future firsts sounds fair to me. Cunningham is great player, but not a top 10 player in the league. He hasn't even been able to keep his team from being among the couple worst teams in the league. Just my 2 cents.

Sure, but all those picks (besides the Lakers pick, which I would try to keep) might all end up being in the 20's. Hendricks may never be a starting caliber player. It's definitely a lot, and I would try to shave off one asset being dealt (preferably the Laker pick). Your proposal is an absolute joke for Detroit.

I'm definitely a pro-Cade guy tho and think he has been held back by a terrible team in Detroit.
 
I think Cade is not that great. That package easily rivals the Don/Rudy packages. Might as well trade that for an actual star than the theoretical one.
 
per Tony Jones on Sacramento radio

A team called the Jazz and made an offer for Lauri. The Jazz denied the offer and the team came back and asked what it would take to get him and Utah said they wouldnt say.

I think it sounds way too steep too, plus Cunningham is one year away from a very solid payday. We'd be giving up a bunch of players on rookie contracts.

Utah will be super aggressive in the trade market. At least one pick will be traded, possibly two and are willing to move 10 for a veteran. Tony said to expect anything.

For a brief moment, I read that as the Jazz willing to move 10 picks for a veteran and I assumed it could only be Dončić.

I'm fine if they use future picks and 1-2 of their youngsters to go after Cunningham. He's still only 22 and believe Hardy can squeeze alot of untapped potential. Other than a miraculous trade or doing some sort of tank for the '25 draft how many other ways do they have to acquire a potential franchise player? We don't have a guy under 25 on our roster with that type of potential. Cade isn't perfect but he's been in a really bad spot in Detroit where they never bothered to build a team around him the past 3 seasons. Chicago did the same thing with Lauri and wasted his first 4 years in the league. Some of these bad teams have no clue how to develop players so if the Jazz are in position to take advantage I say why not.

Agree with this. I'd do it, but shave off the LA pick and see if we could throw in JC instead of George.

Very interesting, crazy Giddey is still 21 after the rollercoaster it's felt like

Karl Malone's history is disgusting, and truly messed up, and if we traded for Giddey the media around it would be exhausting drawing comparisons. And I am not an expert on the topic so please correct me, but I honestly feel a bit bad for Giddey with it all. From my understanding he slept with a girl who he met at an 18+ club who ended up being under age. It seems a sucky way to have your reputation torpedo'd. I mean he was barely 21 when it happened, that's a way less problematic gap than most celebrities (assuming she was 18 at least which would be a fair assumption at an 18+ club).

Hopefully he bounces back next season
 
Please dont trade everything for more mediocrity. Tank right this year and then start trading away all our crap. We need Ace/Flagg.
