And Denver's 2026 first-round pick.

Does this look good?

That would be awful for them. MPJ is prone to suckage, but his ceiling is still a much better player/fit for Jokic than Collins. If they are trading a guy like MPJ, they need two pieces back. Maybe if it was Sexton/Collins for MPJ and some future pick.

Also think you would have to put a guy like Sensabaugh in there.

The reason this trash gets proposed is because the league ensures the Lakers get the lopsided trades, ala Gasol, Luka, etc. So the Lakers fan base just begin to expect that other teams exist only as farm teams for the Lakers, which isn't terribly far from the truth.
 
That PG contract is brutal. I realize the Jazz have to hit a minimum salary and somebody has to get paid. I don't think I would want PG around my young team if he has any kind of negativity. I would want more from the 76ers.

He seems like a pretty positive guy

Yeah. Haven’t really seen anything to suggest that he’d be a negative locker room guy. Also, I’d immediately give him permission to speak to other teams about a trade IF they can find a package that brings positive net value to the team. Philly might not dangle him to add assets, but Utah absolutely should.

If he has anything at all left on the tank a PG, Sexton, Kessler, Collins lineup could be a play-in team in the East.

Steve Cleveland coached him at Fresno and said PG was an is a standup guy.
 
I like this idea a lot though the Bucks would probably need to reroute Collins as his fit isn't great with Giannis and Portis.

Jazz get: Lillard, right to swap worst 2031 pick with Bucks 2031 pick (unprotected)
Bucks get: John Collins, Collin Sexton

This is if they keep Giannis, of course.

Welcome to what we were talking about the morning after Lillard tore his Achilles.

Guys, if there is one thing to learn about the Spurs is that they don't trade high picks/promising young players for "win-now" fringe All-Star players. Instead, they draft well, patiently develop the prospects and lock them in for a long, long haul. That what made them the most successful franchise of the last 30 years.

While most of this is true, they have been extremely lucky in the draft.

Taking on Lillard's contract and giving up Collins and Sexton for a pick swap seems light to me. I'd want that pick outright.
 
Would the Jazz/Pelicans swap 5 and 7 if they included the Pacers 2026 first rounder?

Pacers might lose Turner in the off-season and could be a Haliburton injury away from a rougher 2025 regular season.

If the Jazz prefer Kon (or Fears)> Tre, I think it makes sense for Utah if they are confident Wizards take someone who isn't Kon

Makes sense for Pelicans if they really value a Malauch/Johnson and are worried Wizards might take them.

I'm fine with just a swap. Really hard to ask for more when Sexton/Collins only have a year left on their deals and aren't the highest valued pieces.

I'm unenthusiastic by nature about swaps for the simple reason that they may turn out to be nothing. More of a bird in the hand kind of guy.
