Potential Trade Targets

Bro who else is gonna eat that cat? Like I said, keep chasing our mistakes with bigger ones and we’re a couple of degrees separated from an out-of-retirement Stephon Marbury max.
Lavine is the cat... Wiggins is the lion that will eat the dog that chases the cat. Get it together.
 
They can move 26 and 28 and you can do swaps with 25, 27, and 29. You just have to make the language conditional on the pick conveying this year or next. If the pick somehow didn't convey it becomes a domino that pushes the other stuff. If they traded for Lauri for example there would be almost no chance they can be in the bottom 4 this year.

I would try and do a JC/KO deal that involves Moody and a swap for 2025. Maybe make it top 4 protected and also provide language to accommodate the pick they owe. Have some language that if the pick falls in the protection that you get the right to swap a 2027 pick. I think with so many picks in the odd years we are missing opportunities to get swaps that seem less valuable and become really valuable. I assume/hope that is something we are looking at really hard.
They can't move '26 now, can they? Their pick to Blazers might convey in '24, '25 or '26. They also can't swap '25 now, but they could say it's either the Blazers pick or their own.
 
I will go on record being absolutely shocked if we trade anyone for just seconds. I don’t think DA cares about seconds at all.
He doesn’t / hasn’t / won’t. I’m not sure I’ve seen anyone suggest that though.
 
Lots of teams are rumored to be after Dejounte Murray - Lakers, Knicks, Sixers, Heat, Warriors, Nets, Raptors, Spurs, etc.. But what if Trader Danny sneaks in from behind and ruins their plans?
 
You don’t think 2-3 swaps is valuable?
Not when the Jazz already own plenty of swaps.

Really if we aren't getting quality young pieces or premium picks, there's not a lot of value there. I would also look for a big haul of 2nd rounders as far out as possible just so you can have some ammo for small trades.

The proposed trade was for both seconds and swaps, and whatever value you get out of CP3, on court or as expiring salary.

I have no idea how many or what kind of 2nds they have, but I wouldn't give up two players for 2nds. If it's just KO I would want 3-4 seconds.
 
Swaps would be super valuable if they can be swapped with 2-3 other picks you own. For instance we could be swapping the 29th pick from Minny for the 11th pick from GS if the standings were the same way next year. That’s INCREDIBLY valuable… would cost multiple firsts to jump that high.
