Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I think Lonzo is available… they are worried about his knee… it has hit news cycles a couple times. Wonder if he needs microfracture surgery or something.
Which makes it a buy low opportunity. Lonzo's a high risk high reward type of guy. Kinda like a glorified version of DedEx with actually ball skills. He's hurt all the time but if he can recover from it, we will get a big playmaker who can guard multiple position while shooting around 40% from deep.
 
I don't think Turner is on the table this summer. He's excited about Haliburton.

If Atlanta only offers Capela, Collins and either Jalen Johnson or #16 for Rudy, we gotta find a way to flip Capela elsewhere.

To Charlotte for PJ Washington and Plumlee?

To Chicago for Vucevic or Caruso and a pick?

Be honest with yourself. Does trading Rudy for Collins, Washington and Plumlee make us a better team?
 
Caepla is very much done in Atlanta. His minutes been at the lowest since 2017. There's a timeshare at their center position this season and Hawks fan are longing for Okongwu. He's still owed 60mil the next three seasons so i wouldn't be surprised if he gets salary dumped at some point
 
Turner lives on the table… he’s always available.

I think you need a center at Capela level to get through the regular season and to help if you run up against Jokic or Embiid. They may be 15 minute a night guys in certain series but still helpful.

I’d just love to see what the real offers are… not guess from writers or fans.
We will never know what the real offers are. Only the one we end up taking if we do take one. No reports prior or after about stuff that could or didn't happen will be 100% accurate. GMs won't show their hands like that.

You're probably right about Capela, but I hate the idea of a $20+ million limited center coached by Quin. He will probably play him 30+mpg and not develop small ball, 5 out, etc adequately enough.

I think he's a borderline negative asset. He addresses some issues, but he's overpaid and won't play in crunch time.

That's why I think Collins and Capela for Rudy isn't nearly enough. They gotta do more. A good bit more.

In these times of destitute Jazz predilections we must fortify with philosophy, empiricism, and ale. We must reject explanation by postulate. Thy Jazz have no draft picks this year. They have an aging roster, some were born in the year of my birth, 1711. The beards are grey! We cannot expect miracles, as I have argued elsewhere. A reconstruction, a rebuild, is called for.

Okay, champ.
 
Phoenix is expected to explore sign-and-trade options for Ayton, so they don't get cornered into either accepting or rejecting a max deal in restricted free agency.

There might be some solid three way options if Ayton asks out… might be some teams like Memphis, Indiana, New York or San Antonio that prefer a younger player like Ayton instead of Rudy… if Phoenix can swap Ayton for Rudy they may prefer that… but what they really prefer is the money they can save by swapping Ayton for a cheaper option. Phoenix’s summer got real interesting.
