Let's say Charlotte offers this trade to Utah with the 4th pick included, what other draft compensation would they have to attach for you to say yes?
Charlotte has a good # of future picks from their own picks and other teams. They could put together a pretty nice offer.
Charlotte's team would be:
Ball
Miller
Bridges
Lauri
Walker
That's an incredible starting 5 w/ health and internal improvement from Walker/Ball/Miller that would possibly be one of the best starting 5's in the NBA. Elite size 1-5. High level shooting 1-4. Athleticism 1-5. Their bench would be Josh Green and Tre Mann then a bunch of scrubs.

It looks like Charlotte doesn't have a 2026 draft pick, but have a bunch in 2027. I'm not really excited about adding more picks in 2027.
I would want to add at least one more pick that was reasonably likely to be a top 10 pick. This trade could make Charlotte a good team, especially in the East, so their own picks become less valuable.
At that point it's just a quantity play, which I'm not super interested in either.

if this were a real offer, you would take that all day, every day
Honestly, just unprotecting the 2027 pick probably gets it done.

Nah, you are cleaning the Laker's books. Make them pay for that.

Andy Larsen specifically said that the Jazz and Lakers talked about a Collins trade last year, but that it probably wouldn't happen now.

I heard him say it was the Warriors who showed interest in Collins but that was before the Jimmy Butler trade.
I'm pretty sure all of the contracts in this deal are expiring.

Retire or play with LaMelo? Tough call for Lauri.

Holy ****. They would be a WILD haul to get back for John Collins - who was basically traded to the Jazz for broke down Rudy Gay straight up? Start collecting those 2031 picks and swaps.

Seems like Collins would be the most likely target for the Warriors if the Jazz wanted to S&T for Kuminga.

What's with the generic kits that aren't even the Jazz colors? Be better, whoever's responsible.
