Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I think we may need to address an elephant in the living room though. Call it an existential crisis. The problem is that in order to win, you've got to have multiple All Stars. It takes years to draft and develop these All Star players. In the case of Utah and some other small markets, it seems as though these All Star players want to leave sometime during their 2nd contract.

DWill wasn't committed to staying. Hayward wasn't committed to staying. Now Mitchell isn't committed to staying. So what makes us think that when we draft and develop another iteration of All Star players they'll want to stay?
Rudy was committed to staying.
 
Rudy was committed to staying.
So was Favors. Doesn't mean it's the right call to keep them forever.

The only way we can ever win a title is to build around the perimeter. Until everybody gets on board with that, our conversations, just like our team, will just continue to tread water.

If you can win at a high level they will stay. The Jazz haven't done that. Or a better chance at staying. Mitchell should want to leave when his contract is up imo unless some unforseen drastic changes happen or he really likes money to an unhealthy extent.

What about Conley for.....

Kennard, Mann, small expirings, 2028 lightly protected 1st, and multiple 2nd's

We definitely aren't getting a first in that scenario but I would gladly do it for Mann and Kennard. Mann would automatically be our best perimeter defender and Kennard our best shooter.
 
My point is because he is limited offensively other teams wanting to trade for him keep this in mind. But please don't compare Shaq to Gobert you will insult one of the greatest centers that ever lived
I wasn't comparing him to Shaq just the fact that he plays close to the basket and most was a dunker. The reason they are trading Rudy is because of his contract and his age and not his limited offense. If he wasn't the fourth or fifth option on the team he could score 20 pts a game.
 
Soooooo

What have we accomplished this summer?

We still don’t have a coach.
Drafted nothing.
Made no trades.
Probably aren’t going to sign anyone of note.

Ummmm. And got really ****** jerseys.

Have I missed anything?
 
It seems a little steep for sure, but if Kennard is considered a negative asset, it could be very fair. Conley is a great addition for a team with zero upcoming assets.

That's hella expensive and one sided. Why would the Clippers do that asset rich deal for a player who has seriously regressed like Mike?

Just the times in the NBA. Everyone is trying to make their team better. The new lottery odds and the talent level across the league being high and making it where there are a lot more buyers than sellers and the sellers are asset hungry and want serious assets. That makes trades extremely difficult in today's NBA economy.
 
I would imagine a Reggie Jackson and Kennard deal for Conley, no picks.
Kennard owed 26 mil
Jackson 12
Conley 33 potentially 46

Value wise, this makes sense. The only question is, does this deal appeal to you if you are the Jazz?

There is about three players who can replace Jackson for LA, Wall, Walker, and Rubio. Vet mins who want to win.


Would I do the deal? It depends on the new coach, if the scheme is to get the ball out of Conley hands, get more touches for Dom and build around him. I would consider it just because we get cheaper and a better defensive player in Jackson and a get a Sharp off the bench in Kennard who lead the NBA in 3pt%.

It depends. I would probably won't out of Mike's contract to do a deal like this. I like this better than Ish Smith and KCP for Conley. This actually has decent players in return.

I’d rather take Ish Smith and KCP.
