Potential Trade Targets

What exactly is the direction again?

Why?

Simone is going to be better than half the lottery picks taken in the 2024 draft. Genius move on their part.

Its good for them I suppose since he is restricted. They just seem kinda desperate not to be the worst team ever. Its just kind of outside of the normal typical bottom feeder move. They have the space to keep him.

I change my mind and rescind my lol... I will add a golf clap. this is partly pre-agency.

I dont see how the Jazz lack direction.

They are keeping Lauri, so the direction is pretty clear to me. It's build around Lauri and acquire as many good players as possible without overpaying or chasing short-term results.

I guess I just don't see it. Lauri is a great player but he's not a player you "build around", simply because he doesn't add much to the rest of the roster in the form of playmaking or setting up others. He's more of a player you would love to have once you have your primary initiator and playmaker, maybe even secondary initiator. IMO we don't have any of those right now(unless Keyonte turns into one of those players?). And BTW lets not pretend like there weren't rumors about the Jazz being open to trade Lauri like... a month or 2 ago. How sure exactly are we that the Jazz are actually "building around Lauri"? IMO their behavior right now fits exactly what I described... they are in holding pattern... waiting... listening to every offer(including for Lauri)...
 
DA having a senior moment with that Fontecchio trade there.

I feel pretty comfortable building around Lauri tbh.

The OP that started this was if we offload guys like Tech again this year. If you think we have a clear and obvious direction I'm not sure you are following the guys closest to the situation. TJ has said we could be a buyer or seller... Andy indicated the same thing. I think we are basically value based and seeing how it plays out for now. That's fine for a while... eventually if something doesn't shake loose it won't be cool anymore.

I def don't think its silly.

Well, I typed out a response to this. Then you posted the trade and made me rethink life and the Jazz's direction. So who knows now, I am lost.

Interesting ... which pick is it? Is it their own? I don't think it is their own... here's what realgm says about the picks they have:



To me it seems like we are getting the more favorable of MEM or WAS second round pick.

You are correct, per Lowe
