Yeah it’s been a while since somebody has thrown the Lakers a bone. We really should help them out.

Now that the Lakers have Luka on their roster going forward, asking them to remove the top-4 protection on their '27 FRP might be meaningless. The Lakers don't have much they can offer the Jazz in a trade proposal for Walker Kessler.
I mean, it's never truly meaningless, but yeah. I'm not giving them Kessler. Having his contract would be a cheat code for them signing big time free agents because of his small cap hold when he hits RFA.
Im so confused with the Butler stuff. What team is he actually willing to go to? Phoenix? But that's impossible because of Beal.
Like, if Im a Magic fan Im furious. Lavine cost basically nothing. Why not go get LaVine?
Sounds like Lebron is staying in LA. Great news for the Jazz. LA will not be able to get any assets off of Bron, delaying their future retool around Luka.
They might not have salary to match? IDK, they just never buy which is a bad sign for a Sexton deal even though it makes a ton of sense for them to pursue.
Honestly even as a Jazz fan I'm a bit annoyed we didnt get LaVine if the Bulls were willing to take so little. Put him on ice for the tank. Just crazy how low the Bulls sold when he's playing great basketball.
LaVine’s contract is horrendous. Plus they’d have to trade KCP and Anthony to make it happen. Does that make a ton of sense for them?

Because he too is an expensive, career losing player who doesn't defend, puts up empty stats and had ZERO market?
Maybe, just maybe these dudes are smarter than you.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the knee that may fall apart any second now.
You want to pay him 46M and 49M next season and the season after? That’s a ton of money tied into someone who doesn’t affect winning that much.
Yeah, I think it would make a ton of sense for them. I dont get what they are doing at all. Their team isnt going to suddenly get good at scoring through internal development.
Sure, why not? Not like the Jazz are going to pay anyone else the next 2 years. If you luck out and get Flagg, you have a great team.
We need to help the Hawks. Besides reuniting the LFF crew (Clarkson and Quin), what can we do?
I am cooking on high heat right now, but could the Jazz give the Hawks a rental of John Collins (using Bogdan [who has been worthless for them this season] and Nance to match salary), then basically do a reverse-trade in the off-season? The Spurs are too ****ing dangerous owning that pick. If they hit on the lotto it’s basically game over for our next build.
Yes, I understand we got Collins from them for nothing. They desperately need some more production/oomph in the wake of the JJ injury and Collins is already well versed in how the Hawks do things. I would view this as a fallback option if we can’t trade him for meaningful draft capital after exhaustively canvassing.

It doesn’t because their team is about to get really expensive due to extensions very shortly.
How does one even fix the Hawks? Collins got worse every year under the Hawks, so why would they believe he could actually help them? The only way you are truly helping the Hawks is giving them Kessler.

Not me. I prefer we continue resting healthy good players and tank super hard (Kessler should shoot threes at the end of close games for "development") and get our guy this season and then try to make the playoffs next season.

Then they are going to waste a lot of time and never be a good team.
