2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

I think we have a good chance of the double trade up… 9 and a future pick for 5 and 16, 28, KO for 10. I’d hope for Black and Bufkin but maybe it’s black and Bilal or Walker and Bufkin… some good combos possible.
Cam and Bufkin ftw
 
This is ideal.. they should do it.
I dont think it changes all that much for Utah.

I honestly dont think Whitmore is above Hendricks on Utah's board. The biggest thing for Utah is that Hendricks/Walker dont go 5th. (This is from what I believe Utah's perspective to be, not mine).

I do think they love Bilal, but he's more like 10th/11th on their board.
 
This would conceivably push Hendricks or Whitmore down to #10, which might make Dallas use their pick rather than trade back.
Does it? I think if Whitmore fell to 10th that would just increase the picks value (or maybe not, I'm guessing the other teams who arent in Cam's range probably dont have access to his medicals so they might be scared off).
 
I'm late to this party, but isnt that Porzingis trade just a 1-year rental for the Celtics?

They cannot hope to re-sign both Brown and Porzingis (who was traded in) with the new CBA constraints, or can they?
 
You cant gain leverage on a guy with a no trade clause who is perfectly fine just playing basketball for your team.
Which is what I'm saying. They should keep Beal now because Beal is fine just staying put. He never submitted a trade request or anything. But doing so they would’ve put themselves in a position to resign both zingis and Kuzma. Once they had secured zingis and kuzma extension, they can pivot at anytime and trade them both. That way they could've gotten more instead of losing them for nothing. They might never get anything good for Beal and that's fine. But at least they could've extended kuz and zingis and get decent return from them.

They can, but it'd be expensive and probably hardcap them.
 
It would be hilarious to see the reaction of this board when it's announced Utah traded up to 5 to grab Bilal ahead of Orlando
Yeah it’s not happening… read that Todd article with the top 9 quote… it’s clear he was talking about the top 9 guys cuz he said one will be gone. Now Bilal may be there but if you believe TJ the consensus top 9 is what it is… then there are guys they like for 16 like Bufkin Bilal and JHS… according to Tony of course.

So overpay for a team that is going to be a perenial loser?

The Jazz got value out of their players because their players won. The Wizards didnt have that luxury. They made great moves. They were late, but better late than never.
