2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

Coach Ellis said:
I’m also curious to see which players get ridiculous contracts that are way too high for their production. It happens every year.

Granted, there’s less money to go around this year. . . but somebody is going to overspend on some of these free agents on long-term contracts and the end result is going to be brutal for them.

Off the top of my head. . . Draymond Green, Fred VanVleet and Kyle Kuzma all get overpaid this year. Going to be very interesting to see what the actual numbers look like in free agency.

Yeah, to continue on your second point I don’t think it is going to be as crazy as years previous.

The Dame stuff is kind of annoying… I don’t know why the blazers don’t just tell him they will move him? The reports are he will give them a shot in FA first… so they sign Grant to like 5/150 and then Dame says I’m out? You just can’t plan that way.

Dame's camp is probably asking that he get traded to Miami.
Portland is likely responding by saying that they'll look for a trade, but will do what's best for their franchise and consider any/all destinations.
Then Dame's camp will back off and say he'd rather stay in Portland depending on the potential trade destination.
Then Portland puts out a statement that says they're going to continue to try to bring in talent and build around Dame.
 
Dame is not on our timetable. By the time everyone else is ready to go, he'll be using a walker on the court. Pun absolutely intended. He will also cripple the flexibility at that age with a likely $50 million-ish cap hit.

No to Dame. 5 years ago, hell yes. Now? It's too late and too expensive for our timeline.

Don’t want him. I’m done having midgets that can’t defend. I want to build something. I want to see if Keyontae George can be the point guard of the future? That’s not going to happen if Fred Vanvleet is here.

FVV is small... but FVV is a really good defender.

George can develop while FVV is here. We are on Lauri's timeline... I ain't banking on George being amazing year 1 or 2. I think we can do something in the 3/90-100M range on FVV that lines contracts up really well (including Collins) to retain Kessler and the rookies (with Lauri obviously).

He may prefer or get more from Houston or Toronto... but I'm in on some kind of offer for FVV.

Would also be in on Murray instead if we can swing it but not sure Atlanta does that one until the trade deadline.

It makes sense if you believe he makes us a championship contender, which he might. You go all in and try to win it over the next couple of years. But I'm with you. I'd rather not go down that route.
 
My official position on Sexton is that I would like to keep him, but I don't want him and Clarkson both on the team.

But I also want to re-sign Clarkson because I think he's going to get squeezed in this market and Id like to keep as many high value contracts/players as possible.

So hopefully a good materializes for either one.

We can also do the opt in and renegotiate and extend deal with JC to give him the money and make it much smoother for us.

Bucks and Sexton doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Likely needs Bobby Portis to a third team to work. IDK... kinda weird but nothing this offseason would surprise me I guess.
 
This isn’t the first time I’ve heard Milwaukee is interested in Sexton. We definitely would need to get Beauchamp and I wouldn’t even consider trading him unless we had a plan for PG lined up (like Reaves or FVV).
