Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

If we trade Mitchell I'm good taking a shot on Simmons in a rebuilding situation. I don't like it in a situation where there will be pressure to win now.
 
So the 3 players we got in the Gobert trade that have an NBA resume, all had time starting, all were in the positive +/- last year. Vanderbilt and Beverly were 4th and 5th on the team behind the 3 star/ish players and both are defensive players. We seem to be the highest on Beasley, he can score and has decent 3pt %, and while not the cream of the crop in his +/- on the floor he was still positive. I know +/- as a stat has limited use, but it does still say something.

While these players are not stars, they will help the team be competitive. I can see the point that if our perimeter defense is much better even if our paint D takes a hit, with the way the NBA chucks 3's our defense may actually increase our overall chance to win. Keep in mind I haven't thought this over too much but without advanced stats and digging I can see that it may be possible. True or false? I think Lopo hinted at this in one of his/her thousands of posts and I think the idea may have some validity.

If we're going into a full tank, Simmons could a valuable commander or trading chip. Best case, he rehabs his value and learns to hit a FT. Worst case, he ensures our suckitude. So sure, why not?

People forget that Simmons was runner up for DPOY last season. Has been an All Star in his last 3 seasons, All NBA, All Defense. Dude is elite at everything outside of shooting.

I think, at least mentally, it would do him wonders being out of a major market while he gets his **** together.

If it was just his back I would buy low... the mental stuff is scary... that said if I was Phoenix I'd bring him in with KD and hope Monty and others can get him going. His role would be basically Draymond-esque. If it is what closes the deal they should do it.

How do you suggest the Suns match $70m in cap?

And, you know, being a functional, non-douche bag human being. Hard pass.

If I thought the mental instability was over (I don’t) AND I though he’d be open to moving to center (he’s not) then I’d consider it.

Outside of that, he’s just a trash person and I don’t want to have to root for him. We’d have to get something AMAZING back to take on that contract, but I just don’t think they have anything worth the risk.

Bridges/Crowder/Saric/Shamet is $50M then Ayton or whatever they get for Ayton... add in Craig or Cam Payne if you need to.
 
Soooo, are we thinking something happens today? Or do we think we're standing pat until some of the other dominos fall?

Likely takes a few days as the big domino trade has some dominoes within the domino that they have to figure out with Ayton and Simmons (probably).

I don’t think they are all gone. People just change their usernames like the wind here, and I can’t keep track.

Like who the hell is @Keefe? Is Hack still around? Hantlers? Etc? Hell UGLI is probably still lurking around somewhere under a pseudonym.

Also, since you’re a Dawg, any idea if your mom likes it doggy style?

More and more it feels like this will end up being much ado about nothing. Durant will stay, the Jazz will try to trade Conley or Bogey and fail because teams are once again afraid to trade with Ainge after the public beating Minnesota is taking. Jazz will roll-out what they already have with a few veteran minimums, and then blow it up after the season fails.

Yep this is what i think happens
