2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

[Shad]

Wtf, are the wizards even doing? lmao. They're trading all their players for 0 picks

They are apparently getting Boston's pick 35 in this draft along with Tyus Jones.

They can get a pick for Jones and there will be a trade exception here… they did pretty well.

It’s better than Marcus Morris and 30.

Hell ya it is!

wtf is Boston doing ??

Wait. So that means wizards might not be going for a new PG on draft night?

 

[infection]

Well hopefully Boston can parlay that draft capital into something because the team psychological makeup going from Marcus Smart to the Zinger is a lolzer.

Now what do the Celtics do with Williams?

This won’t change their plans. But they may not have ever been going for a pg. they’ll still take bpa, just as they would have before the trade

He’s gone. They’re going to be like 6M away from the second apron with 2 open roster spots.

I think Memphis overpaid for Smart. My guess is they apparently feel like they need an adult in the lockerroom with Ja.

Boston made out pretty good. They deal Smart + salary filler(Gallinari/Muscala) + 35th pick for Porzingis/25th pick/'24 FRP

That's fair. Jones is a decent backup but not a starting caliber PG. Their roster now is full of holes so it's gonna get wild when it gets to their eighth pick tomorrow.

Boston must've thought White can do everything that smart does for them.

 

[KqWIN]

WAS has all the good vet PGs lol.

THT for Wright or Morris or Jones (plus we add something)?

Do we need to add something? How far away from Bev’s value are those 3? I think THT has risen his stock.

I agree White is a better fit next to the J's in Boston.

Smart is going to probably take over that Dillon Brooks type role in Memphis. They desperately needed some vet leadership. Their culture was headed in the wrong direction the past year.

Staying alive. This is a low-key salary dump, likely an improvement considering their previous glut of big guards and lacking big rotation, and they get some draft capital to (hopefully) fill out their roster with cheap players.

This is genius on their part... assuming Smart wasn't the heart and soul of the team (in a good way). They needed a shakeup anyway.

 

[NUMBERICA]

How much you wanna bet the Celtics grab Dillon Brooks for fairly cheap in FA? lol fuuu
