Give us 17, remove '27 protections and gives us the 2029. Shoot I would even let you top 2 protect it.

We don’t need all of that. If the intel is true at all, that’s exciting. #29 + #32 + Clarkson for #17 + matching salary sounds good to me. Around 17 is where it starts to feel like the draft starts dropping off a tier.

If they want him bad enough, maybe we only need to send one of those picks?

I bet the Kings get one of the Nets forwards.

I know the rumor is fake cuz you will not have to go hard to get Clarkson

Yeah, but the Lakers don't know that.

They dont have access to the Internet or basketball reference?

Maybe they think like three other teams want him, or at least his contract.

Only reason anyone is going to want Clarkson is desperation or they want to dump a worse contract on the Jazz

Meh, Lakers do dumb stuff all the time, like trade for D-Lo and Westbrook. Clarkson is cheap comparitively.

I’m keeping an eye on the Rockets. They're hungry. Started with the VanVleet trade last summer.

IF there is a team that puts together a Lauri package that makes Utah pull the trigger, it's going to be Houston IMO.

They do have the ammo for it.

Trade idea: John Collins to the Bulls for Lonzo Ball. I don't expect (or want) Ball to actually play for the Jazz, but it gets us off a year of JC and clears the way for Walker and Hendricks to grow.

The Bulls replace a relatively expensive player that doesn't play with another relatively expensive player that actually plays and puts up decent stats? I would think the Bulls would have to give up a pick to make something like that happen.

So why does Chicago do it? It doesn't save them money and they drafted Buzelis, a guy who plays the 4.

I think Utah would have to be the ones to put something in

 

[Douchebag K]

please please please to moving JC and Collins I'd much rather watch our young guys suck and learn than another year of these two Particularly JC

My read is the Bulls are still in win now mode and JC is a contributor that will help. Maybe Buzelis plays the 3, maybe JC gives him the time for Buzelis to come along slowly.
