OMG I love this! Premium pick baby!

Jazz trade 3 first round picks for 1. 6 years from now. Yikes.

Absolute robbery, the Suns might be the worst organization I've ever seen. 3 worthless picks for a good one.

Seriously... I jump on a call for a couple minutes and this **** happens.

What the ****

I'm trying to decide if I like this or not....

 

[NUMBERICA]

What the ****

Two franchises just rolling dice for the **** of it?

I get it, it still just feels like a dice roll.

We really need Phoenix to be better this year.

It's three bad picks for a low probability shot at a great pick.

Definitely the right move.

The Suns are embarrassing.

I get it, it still just feels like a dice roll.

I mean, we DO have too many picks to actually use and 7 players that couldn’t buy alcohol before the start of the season. But what if that Suns pick is ***? What if we just gave them a lifeline to avoid bottoming out which is what would make that pick so juicy.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Suns are using those picks to improve their roster in the short-term. I think I like this move for us, but I'm gonna have to stew on it.

They're about to trade for Jimmy Butler and give him a max contract, that is the exact opposite of a lifeline.

That Phoenix 2031 pick is probably one of the best assets available in the NBA right now. The jazz could keep it or flip it for something pretty valuable.

Are you referring to the implications with the Minnesota pick? Or is there something else?

I think it's safe to say that they're bottomed-out by '31.

I hope so. I have a tough time seeing how they do the deal, still, since the Heat didn’t want Beal a year and a half ago and he has that NTC.

The Jazz are consolidating their first-round picks acquired in the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades in 2022. Including the 2031 unprotected first from Phoenix, Utah now has 11 first-round picks in the next seven years.

Yeah, that Minnesota pick would be better with Jimmy on the Suns.

I don't see what three late 1st-round picks are going to do for Phoenix here.
The Jazz are probably going to be good in '29.
The Cavs' pick this year is going to be #29 or #30 in a meh draft.
The pick in '27 is probably going to be another Cavs pick in the 20s.
