2024-25 Trade Rumors Thread

[SoberasHotRod]

What are the rules on trading swaps? I would assume that isn't allowed since they are agreeing to a swap with a team under a likelihood that the swap conveys. For example it wouldn't be fair for Denver to trade a 2025 swap with Utah and have Utah trade that to Boston.

If you can't trade a swap, then I might prefer something more tangible like 2nds. I understand that the swap is potentially much more valuable than 2nds, but it's more likely that it's not that valuable (helps us move up a couple of spots) and could be literally worthless. Even though Ainge hates seconds they have tangible value and is something we can use to help make trades happen.

Specifically with Denver I would say that an unprotected swap in 2029+ is more valuable than 2nds, but 2028 and before I would prefer 2nds.

2028 pick swap, 2025 Utah 2nd rounder, Terrence eShannon Jr. I think those would be the potentially gettable assets in a deal

Removing the protections on the 29 pick would be sweet, but Randle would probably win us a couple of games more than just rolling with JC.

I don't think he would. This kind of trade wouldn't happen til around the deadline and by then you are playing Cody and Isaiah Major minutes again

If we traded for Randle and did not play him in a contract year, he and his agent would rightfully be pissed at us. It would make it even harder to get established players to want to come to Utah if the perception around the league was that we stood in the way of players getting their bags.

Where did I say not play him?

We could trade swaps to other teams but not exactly how you’re saying. For example, we own a pick swap in 2028 with Cleveland. We could trade the more favorable of our pick and their pick that year in a deal.

Randle is a floor raiser for competent teams. The Jazz will not be a competent team after the deadline passes, trust me

We’ve trusted you before…

And in Nnaji, Jazzfanz would get yet another player to endlessly bitch about for 4 years, so they would be happy. I guess it is a win/win.

As a jazz fan, I don’t have time to add another player that I need to bitch about.

Always a bad sign when someone ends a statement with “trust me” lol

Bogdanovic being fed by Jokic in their motion offense would be a dagger of epic proportions. Day-um.

I doubt Bogey is very good anymore. Too old and too many injuries

Yeah, but spotting up with Jokic making the play he would still be good for a handful of 3s per game.

I hate the Nuggets but that would be a solid move for them imho

How can you hate the nuggets? They gave us Rudy?

Plus Jokic is ****ing great to watch

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

So it seems like Clarkson is the last resort option for the Nuggets if they cant workout a deal involving MPJ.

I also see it as if they are hesitant moving MPJ than Clarkson is a realistic best option. He’s the only one mentioned that is available to get without sending MPJ.

This.

Right now the nuggets are the most fun to watch of everyone. Jokic is making such a strong case for being in the discussion as a top 5 player. It's crazy.

The dude is unbelievable, casually waddles around picking up 40/20/15 at 60 percent from the field without breaking a sweat. Its like if Winnie-the-Pooh was a professional basketball player.
