Potential Trade Targets

So we’re talking about Clarkson but in the wrong arena here. C’mon you guys I’m just a casual fan here but even I think there’s enough smoke between the Knicks and the Jazz that there’s a fire building. They like Clarkson, Danny’s had the hots for Grimes. Throw Fournier in and you gotta dead money match. Personally I don’t see how this trade doesn’t happen - although it may ruin our playoff chances this season.
Yuck. grimes wants at least 25 million a year, fournier has barely played in 2 years. Clarkson is by far the best asset on the best contract. NY can yuck themselves into next year for all i care. maybe grimes and 2 1sts, maybe.

Grimes has no contract demands as he is not a FA for 1.5 years but also just cuz he wants a high number doesn’t mean that he’s worth that.
 
Two picks seems to be the price for everyone these days. Could we do KO+first for Herb? Herb is 25 and locked down for a long time. KO is theoretically a great offensive fit with Zion, but NOP might just want straight picks to clear out log jams.

I think they’d need more. I’d do that deal in a second. To bridge the gap we give them Ochai who has now taken the place of the rights to Ante Tomic for me as the “draw 4 wild” that smoothed out the value in any trade that is tilted too far our way.
 
I think so… the salary works well for ny’s goals too. I could see them going with Brogdon instead or even going for Bruce brown. I’m not sure how Thibs would like JC.

For me it would be a nice “single” but if they somehow routed Ochai elsewhere for value it could be a double. I think I like Grimes more than most here though.
There’s interest.

I doubt they offer more than one. I don’t claim to be an expert on Grimes but he does fit the timeline and guaranteed he develops a lot better here than under Thibs in NY.

It’s actually kinda sad that we meaninglessly threw away his rights in a deal. He had way more value to us as a meme than the value in that trade. We should have always retained his rights and hang a banner commemorating having his rights. Put him up there with John, Karl and Jerry for longest tenure.

PG Ball ( Lamelo ), Keyonte, Dunn
SG Giddey , Sexton , Sensabaugh
SF Avdija, Fontecchio, Fournier
PF Markkanen, Hendricks, Samanic
C Kessler, Porzingis, Yurtseven,
 
How do you figure. I mean besides maybe Booker in phoenix what guard has played better than Sexton?
Sexton has played amazing for a whopping what 15 games? As teams scout him better and focus, he will face opposition. How does he respond? Can he continue to do amazing? Does his play style end in another injury?

He is playing lights out but 16 games ago Jazz Nation threw him in every 3rd trade proposal. Now he is untouchable?

If we lose 3 straight, yall are going to go jump off the deep end again and want to trade him for twenty bird turds.

I love what Sexton is bringing right now, but Danny Ainge clearly is going to get calls and if the right option comes along, he won't hesitate to pull the trigger. He loves desperation and flipping players when their value is at top dollar. Sexton is peaking right around the trade deadline. Don't be shocked folks.
 
Clarkson is clearly the best player in a Grimes / Founier / JC deal.

Grimes is averaging 6 pts per game and he was getting close to 30 mpg for a while this season. Plus, he wants a bag in 1.5 years. Its a rental.

If thats the deal, then NY needs to send a 1st.
 
Fournier can be a good bet of price very low. Need to play or he may miss Olympics in France. If we get the Fournier from Orlando, i'm all in. I'm not fan of the NY one and he did not play for one year.
I see him at world cup. He was pretty good, but have up and down which was quite normal after a long time without playing + France was really bad.

Yeah Danny doesn’t do it without a first I don’t believe. But with a first it’s intriguing because of what we’ve managed to do with Sexton and Dunn. That, the timeline and the first.
 
I'm more interested in Dejounte now and think he could fit long term. I don't think he fits well with Sexton but isn't the worst pairing. My preference is to sell high on him or move him to 6th man and trade Clarkson. I think Dejounte is an all star here or close to it. This is with the assumption coach wants him.

We still really need to consolidate a bit.
 
It sounds like if Clarkson gets traded it is going to be for a haul. Ian Begley is reporting the Jazz want a lot for him. Multiple teams have called inquiring about him. We might be surprised at the return. Multiple firsts or a good prospect and a first.

I would be shocked, but I hope you're right. :)
