Ain't no way they'd do that... but I'd be calling. There was some rumor they registered some Sexton's interest. I'd be trying to grab Deni and maybe swap places with them if they were amenable.
For some reason I thought you were talking about Porzingis. lol whoops.
I doubt they would give up Deni. I think Kispert is the guy you could get as he projects more as a role player where Deni might be viewed as still have some upside in a team construct where it's more loose and he has the ball?
His second contract is coming up... so that might be part of the motivation... but you could be correct.
It's just how I would view it, but it's not like Deni has world beater upside. They might be ready to just sell everything, no idea.
Like there's no way they would trade Porzingis for Marcus Morris/Gallinari but they did. If they want cap flexibility why not just let him walk now and sign some FAs for cheap. Like the Monk or Brown signing that ended up bringing great values to their teams. There's simply zero ceiling with Galo/Morris and neither is the 30th pick in the draft. Teams’d sell those for a much lower price. No one knows what Wiz GM is doing but teams are taking advantage of it.
Zinger was on a one year deal and no longer fit what they were doing. Why would they sell a really valuable pick for a future pick lol... these things aren't the same guy.
What are they doing though? They obviously didn't want any young players cuz they got NONE from the Beal/Porz trade. I mean the draft capital they got was already bad enough. Then they got a 38 yr old, a 34 yr old, a 33 yr old and a 27 yr old in return for their two franchise players.
Olynyk probably has socks that are more than 27 years old. . .
Wut? He literally just got hired. He got #30 for Zinger... there was a contractual time crunch there. Beal had a no trade clause... they were just moving off his money.
Because the biggest Jazz talking point from the beat writers has been the Jazz value positional size and Sexton is a small guard who they dont even view as a potential PG, so he's even more undersized.
If they can't even cash in on Porzingis 33mil expiring now, how are they supposed to cash in with the likes of Morris/Galo/Shamet? And Shamet is already on a very very bad contract and they only got second rounders in return.
LOL they got the 30th pick for Zinger and literally had to move him TODAY or else he would just opt out and see what's on the market. Shamet and the other contracts are essentially expiring contracts. they can flip some of those guys in season.
Not sure how you missed this, but Beal has a no-trade clause and he used that to basically block the Suns from sending players worth a damn.
He thinks the 2 former GMs and super high-level guy they just hired... who convinced Leonsis to do the right thing.. are incompetent.
Also, the trade is not finalized. But they're getting probably close to every 2nd Phoenix can offer, and if they consummate this in the free agency period they might get a 2030 swap as well (that would be a sticking point for me if I'm the Wizards), which would be far-and-away the crown jewel of that trade.
He's 32.
