What upgrades are needed to make us a contender?

KD is awesome and a champion, who can take over and win you close games.

However he is also one of the flagships of the "player empowerment" movement happening across sports that I think is more toxic than good. Hardy is a 1st year HC, so I dont know if we could keep him in check.

Dont get me wrong, I think he is a good guy and a great teammate. He just uses his influence to affect HC and GM level decissions more than a player ever should.

Phoenix can offer Bridges/Crowder along with their 23/25/27/29 1sts and 24/26/28 pick swaps if they wanted to.

Toronto can offer the same exact package except OG/Trent Jr as the players going back.

We can beat literally everyone else’s offer in the league if we really wanted to but that’s not the point.

One, neither team is going to offer that. It’s obvious. Secondly, we could offer more if we wanted.

If Toronto or PHX end up trading for KD I hope Jazz can sneak in as a 3rd team.

I would give up 2 future FRP's + filler salary to acquire either Mikal Bridges or OG Anunoby.

He's owed $96 mil over the next 4 years which seems pretty expensive. He's a good player but don't see him raising the ceiling of this team. Jazz probably don't need another undersized guard either.

This team is already loaded with talented guards. I think what we really need is an elite wing.

Ehh, KD is fine. He's annoying but that's about it. If you put him in good basketball situations he thrives. Y'all would be certifiably insane not to add a top 20 player of all time to the team if was cool with coming.
 
A young unrestricted free agent stud would be really smart to come to Utah based on how we are set up for the future. If he cares about winning over nightlife that is.

Figures Cy didn’t like this. The same guy who thought trading for Clarkson was a bad idea when I proposed it a few years ago.

God I hope Durant is traded and Embiid is beat up all year. That could end up being a top 8 pick.

No one is saying he isn't great but he is also 34yrs old with a ton of mileage and a lot of injury issues over the last 4 years. If the price is right then he is worth the risk but he would cost a fortune.

Completely agree.

But why would Charlotte move off him?

Because he is mediocre. He's had a big uptick in usage in his contract year and has only gotten worse.

If it's a buy low situation it's worth it, but I wouldn't give up anything of significance

Really not sure what super star we’d need , that wouldn’t stuff up the balance that we already have .

Would love Dort from OKC , but they seem to love him .

Or Brown from Boston , but the cost would be to high.

If Hayward didn’t have a past here , someone like that , when you wouldn’t be giving them much in return .

Brown and haliburton are the two i want most of those suggested so far. Or sga
