Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Was Austin Horton the same dude who said a trade was about to happen live on the radio then it didnt happen?
 
Alright... look... if the Lakers are dead set on not including any future first round picks... would you move Mike, KO, Gay for Russ a pick swap with the Philly pick this year and a pocket full of seconds. Lakers also save infinity tax dollars (like $20M this year) and they have salary to attach to their picks for next year when Kyrie gets traded there.

Gay has negative value obvi... Getting out of $30M+ for next year has value. The pick swap has value. Seconds kinda suck but whatevs. I also don't think the Clips deal will come together. We end up with infinity cap space.

It won't jump on Adam Silver's tank radar cuz we help the Lakers. We can sell it as Mike's chance to win a title. It is the ultimate tank move that many have sworn we wouldn't do... so DA zigs to keep everyone guessing.

I would rather do nothing than make that trade. I like having Mike and KO on the team. They are the only players that look to pass. Taking them away would hurt your ball-movement culture.

I would absolutely not do that trade, I'd rather keep having fun with this group.

You still have to send other players around to make it work - I’d rather get back a couple of young guys in this deal than have the Lakers just cut two guys to make the rosters work.

Lakers send Max Christie & Troy Brown and the Jazz kick in Leandro Bolmaro and cash to waive him and it gets you there.

I would. I think of it as essentially getting salary relief and a pretty good pick swap for Conley which is good in my opinion. That is like the bare minimum I would do though.

I would rather not just make a trade for trades sake.

Jazz need to make trades to get worse. Period.

The Jazz have been gifted an extremely competitive NBA where there arent a ton of bottom feeders so they can easily get down to a decent chance at Vic. It's a no brainer. Danny got his cake.
