Wonder if the Wolves/Hawks would do this. I think the Wolves need to move on from Rudy.

Quin get reunited with his guy. They do a final run with the Trae build with a center who fits Tre.

Wolves get younger/better depth and splits up Rudy's contract into moveable pieces.
 
What about

Jazz Trade

#21 (maybe)
Markkanen
Either Svi or Juzang
Springer
(Last are all non-guarenteed)

Houston traded

#10
Jabari Smith
Dillon Brooks (salary need)
Reed Sheppard

This is if Houston can't make deals for anyone else. Smith might flourish in a new system and is a decent defender. Reed needs playing time.

Houston gets a player that would be perfect next to sengun. With Thompson and green they have great scoring punch . They keep eason to still have a great defense.

Jazz

Collier
Tre Johnson (#5)
Hendricks
Smith
Kessler

Bench

Keyonte
Sheppard
Brooks
Demin (#10)
Williams
Sensabaugh


Hopefully trade

Sexton and Clarkson

Reading this it occurs to me that Houston is going to have a big salary matching problem if they want to trade for a star. No team trading a star wants 2 more years of Dillon Brooks at 20 million per. That is the only move Houston has.

I didnt really look at Dillons contract.

Houston can pick up the last year of van vleets contract at 44 million. Then you have an expiring contract.
 
Lauri is not a great fit for HOU. I think any Lauri trade with HOU with need to be a three teamer where Lauri goes someone else and HOU gets a ball in hand star.

As great as Lauri is, it’s definitely a challenge to find teams who would want to pay his salary for a non creator.
 
I saw an article on Hoopsrumors that KJ Martin's contract is non-guaranteed and also for eight million dollars. That seems like an easy decision to move on from.

There’s also no trigger date for it to become guaranteed, making it an extremely valuable trade asset. Jazz will almost certainly use his salary in a deal somewhere this offseason.
 
I do think the NBA needs to bring back being able to trade non-guaranteed players without having to guarantee them upon trade. It's just going to get harder and harder to make trades with the new CBA rules. Trading players you can waive just makes trading much easier.

Ideally if Houston Makes this trade they also make a trade with Phoenix to give back their picks and some and give them green and eason for Devin booker.

Couldn't disagree more. He's an ideal fit if they aren't just name hunting.

They believe Amen is the ball in hand star. What better play to pair him with than Lauri?
 
If the Rockets miss out on the KD & Giannis sweepstakes, I could see the Jazz and Rockets making a trade involving Markkanen/Collins/Sexton.

Cam Whitmore, reed shepperd, Jabari Smith, and the #10 pick are all really interesting pieces for the Jazz.

Doubt they are trading Sheppard
