Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I would love Isaac on the team. Not sure how he fits in, but talent wise it would be fantastic.

The rule of thumb is that Orlando is always offloading talent to save money. If you can do a trade with Orlando then you do it

The WAS rumors are getting louder....This article talks about them willing to put #10 on the line for a veteran PG. I think I probably undersold the potential/motivation for WAS to want him in a trade.

Conley
for
KCP, Ish Smith and #10 seems good to me

Not only do we get some targeted perimeter defending with KCP plus #10, but we also save $4 million in salaries on this deal.

Seems very rich for a Conley trade....but crazier things have happened. I think Conley is done...especially as a playoff player, but teams may feel more confident.

I think so too. Just a bit too much.

I do feel that Conley in place of KCP and Ish Smith makes them a better team and leads them to a better record, but #10 is just too much.

Maybe we get our hands on #16 through Atlanta and that turns into #10 through Washington.
 
There appears to be some level of bidding war between the Bulls, Raptors and Hawks for Gobert. I wouldn't be surprised if a deal happens by the end of the week, giving the Jazz a few days to do pre-draft interviews and workouts. All three teams are trying to move up in the EC pecking order. The Bulls and Hawks both want to sign Zach Lavine, though he's expected to stay in Chicago.

I think he can still be productive. I'm personally of the opinion that his struggles were more mental than physical. I think he'll overcome those. I could be wrong though. My guess is next year will be closer to the start of this year vs his playoff performance.

I think Mike is likely to have another good RS despite his age....but even during the RS it was clear that he was struggling to beat guys off the dribble and go up against length. He was great as a spot up shooter and when getting good screens from Gobert, and I think he'll still be good in those situations, but if teams switch or trap against him I don't think he has it in him to be productive anymore. The other playoff realization is that while he can be a solid part of a defense in the RS, when teams target him it will get ugly. I think he has value for a team like WAS who is just trying to make the playoffs, but he won't be able to be an impact player in the playoffs.

#10 or even Rui/Deni + KCP still seems very rich to me. I wonder if you package it in with a potential Rudy-ATL trade or without a Rudy trade at all. I think ATL would be open to shedding some future money and trading Huerter/Bogdan for KCP + sweetner.

Bogdan/Huerter + Ish to UTA
KCP + sweetner (from WAS) to ATL
Conley to WAS

I think the Jazz ought to be really happy getting Huerter or Bogdan out of Conley.
 
I don't think it's difficult to find the deal zone for a Rudy-ATL trade. They are an obvious destination, and the trade package makes sense rumors or not. Of course it's going to be Capela+Collins as the base, then sweetener from ATL. We've been discussing this for months.

There are left-leaning Mormons?

When I was at BYU early this century, I found it interesting that there was always this perception of BYU being this ultraconservative university. What I found is that people may have identified themselves as being right-leaning out of nominal default, or perhaps on some bigger, defining issues, but they didn't realize how left-leaning they really were. There's always been a right/left divided, but this was pre-social media polarization and every single issue being divided on a right/left axis (at least to the extent it is now). The advent of social media and every possible issue or current event being cast so increasingly strict through a right/left lens leaves no surprise that more and more people will be indentifying as left-leaning. I say this mostly as people who were fairly indifferent to politics, at least in it being a huge part of identity. I'm not talking about people who live for this stuff. Societal values and perspectives have certainly trended to being a good and rational person is to be left leaning, and with association of being greedy, hateful and sociopathic at worst, and naive and ignorant at best for bring considered "right-win," you'll find people with good intentions naturally wanting to shy away from that association. "Avoiding even the appearance of evil" is an idea pretty pervasive in influencing people and, just like language, that meaning is set against a societal backdrop that is very strongly culturally influenced.
