Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Jazz low-key backstabbed the Twolves by empowering the Lakers to contend with them in the play-in.

LOL

Lakers have an uncanny knack for moving up in the lottery.

Jazz will not be a team picking in the 30's in those years lmfao.

We just gave up nearly half of our rotation to tank this year. With some bad draft luck we could easily be looking at lottery finish in the next 3-5 years.

Stupid trade got the Timberwolves better therfore making the t Wolves pick worse. Wtf?

A billion picks, a young all star, a rookie stud center, at least one lotto pick this year, and 60M in cap space (if JC walks)

Guys... I think we will be okay.

Also, with this deal, the Jazz have to trade away Clarkson, right?

This is Danny committing to making this team terrible. Are we going to follow through?

You have to right? Such a poor return we have to be unloading it all for there to be any sense to it.

Top 4 protected pick, smh, what if it doesn't convey in 2027?

Indeed they do…..

Anyone spinning this as a definitive win is trying to defend stances they have taken all week and not being honest with themselves

This is absolute *******. How the hell did we turn 3 rotation players into only one protected first round pick in this seller’s market?

 

[jom2003]

I was just thinking this. Lakers will probably find a way to be good. And if they do somehow blow it up, what is the protection?

I feel we got totally robbed.

All it takes is for one big name FA to sign with the Lakers and they will be in a strong spot again comes 2027. Absolute zero excuse not to get that 2029 first from them.

This is the only downside of this deal. Russell was shooting flames out his *** for like 6 weeks doe... so may not be as much improved.

Also, a bunch of yall are Conley is washed and Conley will wear down people... if that happens they are ****ed.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

This is a homerun...

Probably because this deal gave us the best possible asset and was a way to free up money in 2023 off-season. A

The return feels extremely underwhelming.

 

[nateboz]

Fire Ainge. Stupid. What a moron. Get 2 unprotected and instead gets 1 protected pick. Pathetic. This is what turns a team into a perennial loser.

It’s ok to punt on a trade because we did well before?

SMH

Flexibility for when Luka decides he wants out of Dallas?? I’m fine with losing to get a better draft pick, maybe cap flexibility down the road but this is getting a return of a bologna sandwich. And after getting burned by Golden State for the draft pick we should have gotten, I hate protected picks that don’t pan out.

I would like to know the answer to this as well.

 

[SteakNEggs]

I mean... If we wanted to tank in exchange for a protected first we should have done this much sooner.

 

[Eddie Zero]

Here's what I think:
1) Jazz want to tank for this draft.
2) Jazz want Lakers to increase the chances that the Twolves' pick ends up in the lottery
3) Jazz want off Conley's money for next year
4) Jazz are done with Vanderbilt and aren't keen to re-sign Beasley either.

even with most of that probably true at this point, 1 protected pick from a storied franchise years away from now, is a terrible asset to be proud of having.
All Danny accomplished here today is making us a lot worse , which apparently was the plan. This will not sit well with anyone in the org who was about winning.
I highly doubt the Sextons or Clarksons of the world are to happy about the obvious goals of this team to tank now, with them being the commanders of it.
