2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[LoPo]

Smart replaces Dillon Brooks in the starting lineup who is expected to be let go. Tyus played really well for Memphis so that's a low key decent loss for them.

Not sure if Smart is better for Memphis than
Tyus, 2 1st rounders and Brooks

Smart is definitely the best player in the deal for Memphis, but Memphis has more work to do in my opinion.

I'm not sold on Porzingis. Boston will miss Smart.

No idea. I get the NTC absolutely screwing them with regard to dealing Beal. But the fact they got basically nothing for Porky is astronomically weird.

He was a free agent and not coming back so getting Jones for him is actually a good deal. They can move Jones for an asset in the future.

Yeah, that occurred to me after the post. I tend to spin my wheels bald before the coffee kicks in.

The good news for Washington is they will have very little competition for tanking this year.

No doubt. Just feel bad for Wizards fan that this was about all the FO could do. Sheppard was really a horrible GM. Ownership didn't help matters either.

If all it took was Tyus Jones.. why didn’t Portland go and get Porzingis?

Zingis had to agree to wherever he got traded to

I bet wizard fans are actually pretty stoked to have a clear direction now. They have been stuck in no man's land for years. The good part is this also makes their 1st rd pick to the Knicks likely to never convey.

Yeah but before the Boston offer, Portland would have been an upgrade to Washington…

He’s also an injury prone player with a big one year deal… not the easiest guy to trade. Wiz did fine… they will likely flip Jones or one of their other pgs for some assets too.

Wiz are aggressively moving to the tank… they will take 75-80% of value in trades and are valuing speed with their big moves.

They are… beat writers are all on board too.

What the Wiz are getting is what happens when you sell a year too late (a couple years in their case) vs selling a year early… it’s why I was pretty adamant that we rebuild last year… and why we got so much.
