Of course, which is just another reason why a trade of real significance won’t happen this deadline. There’s not really much to look forward to this deadline except money moves which is why I’m more interested into looking into what teams can duck tax/aprons.

What teams might be looking for tax/apron relief this summer, similar to Boston last year?
Is it possible to add some quality players by trading for players in to our capspace?

Like if we draft Boozer, I think we kind of have to trade Filipowski. Even if he starts playing really well.
Vecine just brought up Procida as a guy college teams might be interested in.
BYU the perfect place to stash him.
The way the conversation went on the Pod I think that there is legitimate interest from college programs to bring Procida over, but Vecine has no idea if Procida has any interest.
One goal for the trade deadline should be to open up roster spots. If we're going to count Svi as a development win (we should) then we should try to hit the well again. If we can't find trades for our vets, buy them out and use roster spots to tryout new players. That could mean giving Harkless a real contract or a revolving door of GLeaguers.
Trade for guys we end up waiving/buying out.
I understand that Key has taken huge steps for being top 10-15 PG but these trades come like 2-3 years too early. Taylor, Cody, Collier, Brice and Kyle will not be here in 2029 and of course I'd like to be wrong with that. I just hope that Ace will become smth in 3 years and WCJ has had too few games yet to decide what he really is. Jazz will draft several young players before trying to be serious in POs, not just able to do it with these guys.

Jazz have 5 guys that they should definitely look to trade at the deadline. All vets.
Nurkic, Svi, Love, Anderson and Niang. Try to pick up an asset or two in the process, force the young guys into bigger roles and start figuring out who to keep next year and beyond.
The only guy I’d actually think about hanging onto for now is Svi - who looks like a decent bench wing guy on a cheap contract. He might have more value next year. If somebody will give you something for him. . . great. If not, I’m not getting rid of him just so I can say I did something.
No reason Utah should stand pat at the deadline. Gotta churn the roster just a little bit more.
