The moon + multiple pick swaps.
Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz
- Thread starter Ferguson_Mellochill
- Start date
Why would we take back Ayton if we’re not keeping Mitchell?
Jazz have trade offers for Donovan from the Heat and Knicks at least. If the Jazz pursue this, it must be even better.
Ainge is trying to take advantage of a distressed situation. BRK wants off of KD and Kyrie. Jazz can offer a bright young All Star signed for 3 years, from NY no less.
This could get big.

He's a nice asset available for a discounted price due to the BYC rule. Jazz can make a profit on him. That's why.
There was already a report earlier today saying the Jazz expressed interest in a sign-and-trade for Ayton after the Gobert trade. So this is consistent.
What other assets do Phoenix and New Jersey have that makes this worth it for us? Ayton has upside and is young. But that's not worth Mitchell. It needs to be a decent amount more.

They'd also have to move Ben Simmons.
Anyway we could land Simmons and Ayton???

Everyone who wants to blow it up forgets that we don’t have our pick the season after next

We do if it's in the top 10.
Mikal Bridges. Some picks....
My personal opinion is that the idea of building a team around a 37 y.o. Chris Paul and a 34 y.o. Kevin Durant, both of whom are going to miss games for injuries and load management, is actually not a good idea. The Suns don't have much depth to begin with, and they'll lose Ayton, Bridges and draft capital in this transaction, which won't help.
This could easily blow up in the Suns' faces just like it did for the Lakers this year. I think Ainge can smell it.

I think there's some rule against the nets having both DM and Simmons on the same team. Like a serious restriction on having both of their contracts on one team. Heard Bobby Marks talking about it on ESPN last night

Yeah they can't trade for Bam, Don, etc while keeping Simmons.

Basically max contracts signed the same year from the same draft class right? Fox also being in that category
