Tell me if I’m getting this right. The trade is basically done short of announcing it but we want to find a way to get rid of a contract as well?

The only way this makes sense is that the Jazz are the dumping ground in 3+ team scenarios.
I think we may not want Fournier’s salary so maybe we’re trying to find a 3rd team who wants him?
I think the only contract we really need to dump is Gay. The rest of the team could get traded for something of value. Conley might be a little tricky but I dont think that hard.
Lakers gotta get more then that.
Route them Quickley, the Jazz will probably get Sexton anyway. They can have any pieces they want as far as I’m concerned if we can own their draft for three years.
I don’t know. I think the savings alone is a ton of motivation plus it’s addition by subtraction from Westbrook. They desperately need some shooters which Conley and Fournier can obviously help with. I also only put the 2028 1st and 27/29 pick swaps instead of vice versa.
Right. I still think it’s very rich for the Jazz. I amended my post after you quoted it, but I’m basically of the position that in the Westbrook dump, the Lakers take any pieces they want if we get to own their draft for three consecutive years.
I think they’re far more motivated by revenue and titles than they are saving money. But let them pick out the players and decide what they wanna prioritize.

I actually think the Lakers need to give up more....their last 1st. They really need to move off of Westbrook. He will kill the Lakers team mojo before the season starts if not moved. Moving off him and gaining two contributing players will help them exponentially.
Well let’s start with my offer and see where it goes from there they may be super desperate to get off of Westbrook. I know I would be if I was them lmao.
They also do not give a **** about their future picks. LeBron is a free agent after this season and they do not want to waste another year with him.
Sure, but I think they’d prefer Kyrie and I also believe Brooklyn would jump on the trade if the Lakers were sending that draft compensation.
I think it probably makes the most sense for all parties if the Jazz were facilitating that trade by taking Westbrook, and sending pieces to Brooklyn and LA.
I’ve heard they won’t trade picks unless he signs an extension. But he won’t sign an extension unless they do his bidding.
I agree with that as well.
On a side note Knicks fans think they can sneak a Randle/Bogey swap in the deal lmao. Might be the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Unless they’re sending literally all 8 of their 1sts including 3 pick swaps that isn’t happening.
Really? They’re ****ed anyways what’s a couple extra picks at this point?

I’m cool with that for all the picks
I didn't see all of it, but it was about this video...Tony was all upset because he thought Sochan was disrespecting Westbrook. He kept bitching about how Westbrook is a hall of famer and Sochan is a rookie who hasn't proved anything on the court yet and he should show Westbrook some respect.

I might have to hop onto realgm and break the bad news that no one but the most junk franchises in the NBA would touch Julius Randle with a ten foot pole.
If I had to guess…
The realgm Knicks forum are eating up bigmike as a big source, and this guy eats up realgm Knicks forum and appropriates the same phraseology.
Most likely.
