Jaren Jackson Jr. traded to the Jazz

[jom2003]

Barring any future trade, Walter might struggle to see the floor in Memphis. Their backcourt is super loaded. Jerome, Spencer and Pippen Jr are battling for minutes. And that's before them selling Ja for 8 FRPs.

Just noticed that the Jazz moved Hendricks and picked up Vince Williams. Williams can play btw. He'll challenge Cody Williams for dominance among Williams.

Our defense is so bad that I can't see us climbing the standings much this year. The final 20 games we'll probably have Collier, Cody, and Flip all starting.

Trading Nurk right now would be ideal. It would force Flip into our starting center. Guaranteed L's incoming.

Yeah so you pivot when necessary. No good team can be built without the inevitable "it's too expensive now we must make moves" decision

Ofc but the "pivot" likely comes in a few months with Kessler RFA.. Key's extension a few months afterward.

I like the fact they are being opportunistic. Looking at the situation it's going to be really difficult to pay Kessler esp if he's not the prototype big for the system they want to run.

Jazz have enough defense on the floor that a guy like Wagler would be a nice fit. The Jazz need another guy who is dynamic on the ball.

Ja will be lucky to get one first.

Force JJJ to fly Frontier Airlines from Memphis to Salt Lake. He won't be able to play for like 6 months after that.

Christ imagine if Walker's shooting is real and you got Walker/Lauri/JJJ all able to shoot 3s

They'll look to keep Walker tho ? Even more with JJJr salary, Lauri contract and Keyonte George extension, could be that they gonna try to lowball his next contract and maybe end up with some S&T ?

 

[rocfan1]

Wow! I wonder if the courtside talk between Ryan and Danny was Ryan telling Danny that he is over the losing. IDK this is insane, WOW! and if we keep Walker on my goodness!!

 

[AlaskanAssassin]

Seems like all of the concerns are related to keeping our draft pick and/or not having cap space to pay Kessler.

If the Jazz manage to keep the 2026 pick and retain Kessler, how would people grade this? If that ends up happening it's an A+ to me.

I wish they took Svi over Walter.

Please get rid of Svi
