Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Sure, but Bird Rights/team option give you the theoretical optionality of either.

Again, what we got and can offer.
I'm agreeing. Beasley should be one of the players they want most along with Vando. Honestly they should want Mike. Say it was Mike/Bogey/Beasley... and they only give a pick and a swap in the deal with us.... They can offer Mike/Malik/1st rp for Kyrie... they re-sign Bogey on top of it. Brooklyn likely won't tear it down so the players and picks are likely preferable to just letting him walk.
 
Vando can be included even if it is just one pick as far as I’m concerned. One Lakers pick is worth more than 3 protected ones from other teams.
 
Lonzo underwent surgery again. I doubt he's healthy with regularity before the AS break. Right now they are good but will be relying more on Dragic than you'd like to. They likely can just work around with Zach, Demar, Ayo, AC... but could see them kicking the tires on Mike or JC in season.

Lonzo for Mike straight across is a fine gamble as far as I’m concerned.

How could they get Mike? They dont have the salary to match unless they want to trade Lonzo, which would require the Jazz to give assets up.

Why would it necessarily require that? At this point, the Bulls should be concerned they’re never really getting the player they signed back but paying out $70 million all the same.

No... it would be straight up or we get something. It could also be JC and NAW. Maybe a Bogey for Ball and a pick... IDK.
 
You'd have to the give the Bulls a first, at least.

There has to be concern that he is going to end up like Brandon Roy here... If Bulls are confident then they won't do the deal. Him taking a year to get healthy would be great for us... pretty devastating for Bulls who are lowkey a win now team.

Vando alone for a 1st is just fine. Bogey for a first is just fine. Taking on Westbrooks salary for a first is fine. Clarkson for a late first is fine. Beasley for a 1st is fine.

Bogey + Clarkson OR Beasley + Filler (a la NAW, Gay) = Westbrook + 2 x 1sts.

Throwing in Vando AND/OR Beasley is a pretty big overpay imho.

Yeah, if we were giving them back a player who was relatively in his prime on a long-term fair deal, then a swap would make sense. The Bulls give up high end value for more guaranteed value, but that isnt the case with any of our available players (other than maybe Clarkson, but Clarkson also kind of sucks and isnt near close to Ball's value).
