You're making the claim that there could be a part two that couldn't have had happened without part one and vice versa. Idc if you don't want to call it a favor, that's not the point. The point is that the Jazz are doing one half of this trade (the undesirable half) because there's a second half that's coming and if the Lakers agree to a WB trade, it was because of the first trade.
I get it, you really want a WB trade to happen. I do too....but this is far out there for me. I think there are better wishful thinking theories out there than the Jazz taking a bad deal to show the Lakers they are serious and will follow through. The Jazz should be the one's worried that the Lakers will follow through.
