Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The timing of this trade is weid as ****.

Before the trade deadline?

JJJ contract:
26-27 - $49M (Age 27)
27-28 - $50.5M (Age28)
28-29 - $52M (Age29)
29-30 - PO $53.5M (Age30)

The smoke around Reaves and the Jazz has been very real. Wonder how that factors into all of this - seems like that's no longer an option with JJJ's salary, unless the apologists have figured something out. My sense is that means Kessler is sticking around, since they could extend him and deal with the apron.

I wonder if the Harden-Garland trade indicates to the Ainges that LeBron is on the move this summer back to Cleveland, potentially freeing up salary for Reaves to be retained by the Lakers, and thus they pivoted.

I was a WCJ believer, but he has been really bad. He can barely even dribble against NBA players and at his size that's a real red flag

Not a big Collier guy, but at this point I'd take the bet on Collier

He'll have a good career somewhere imo. Not the same player or position but he'll he a Grayson Allen type career.

If the Jazz are able to keep their pick this is an A trade imo.

If the Jazz are able to keep their pick and retain or get assets in a Walker trade, it's A+

 

[SoberasHotRod]

We should have tried to get Javon Small in the deal.

(I'm just kidding he's on a 2-way)

 

[AK47]

Hear me out: Trade for Giannis now

I'm down actually.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

When the Jazz get Wagler we going to have a championship team when he comes in as a GOATED rookie

 

[SoberasHotRod]

I have to think Lauri is super happy right now.

 

[Losing Interest]

Tony Jones says he is hearing the Jazz may not be done. ... Interesting

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

My God I just realized JJJ and Cam Boozer is a dream combo

I will try to hold back judgement on this trade until more things shake out but as of now you give up 3 firsts plus 2 recent 1sts. Kessler doesn't fit with JJJ so we better not be losing him nothing. Then of course a healthy JJJ negatively impacts our draft pick significantly. This feels like more of a desperation type deal when one was not needed.
