Seems to be a top 8 forming. I could see BKN doing a similar trade to get to #5. If the Jazz are content with any of the top 8 it would be a similar effect (assuming Maluach goes to NOP).

I would do that for sure if the guy we like is available at 7. Like if we decided we wanted Kon/Queen/CMB or someone like that.

Granted both Sexton and Collins are on their last year, but they are valuable active players who would not only help Milwaukee this year, but save their *** in salary next year. The Jazz eat $120 million dollars for a swap? That's a definite no. I'd rather the Jazz send those dudes somewhere else for expiring trash and 2nd's in that case.
Agreed. Don't think a $150m buyout is feasible, lol.

My dream is that we trade Lauri to get 3, draft Tre, trade back for assets with Washington, get Kon, use Washington assets plus Sexton, plus 21 ( if we still have it) or other assets to get up high enough for Demin. Keep George, keep Collins, roll out and play basketball with what we have.
There is a much greater chance that a swap realizes a high-end outcome than a handful of swaps (that we might be able to acquire with a red paper clip once again).

Fine, to take on Dame and lose Sexton and Collins, make the deal after the 2025 draft, then we can swap their 2031, and take their 2032 1st altogether. Otherwise, a single swap is not worth it to me
We’d probably be lucky to get a swap.
I love that your counter in a discussion is “FINE, I’ll take MORE, then.” Big fan of that negotiating style. 10/10.

Collins and Sexton just have no value at all and taking salary dumps usually doesn't get more than 2nds unfortunately.
They got Luka for AD and a bag of chips... Can you blame them? They've been the beneficiary of a million super favorable trades over the years... They think they are invincible.

Didn't we just have an Andy Larsen visit for this forum's podcast where he heavily implied the Magic (who needed Sexton more than any team in the league) refused to trade the Denver first at the deadline for Sexton.
The league hates Sexton for some reason and the Jazz have been trying and failing to trade him and Collins for years now.

You already spew your trash over at RealGM, giving away the farm and making it look like Jazz fans are morons, don't do it over here.
You have no basis for this. You have no actual idea what was offered last season, and they are both expiring this season, increasing their value as expiring rentals.

We'd be just idiots if we only got a swap to eat $120 million AND give away two productive players

Okay, but Andy Larsen heavily implied no one offered a single even bad first for Sexton last year and he probably does know.

Previous inaction has no consequence of future action.
Do you think Orlando, after getting almost swept out of the playoffs while scoring like 85 points a game, would possibly think about adding an offensive sparkplug to their 25-26 roster?
Things change.
