Yup, one sorta ok asset.
Woj: Jazz agree to 3-team trade with Lakers and Timberwolves
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
Seems like we could have done this deal at the start of the season and been in the top 5 for Wemby.
The whole idea of holding out was that we would improve the stock on these guys to get slightly better return and that didnt happen.
Glad we did it overall, but I'm not doing backflips.
Best thing is that hopefully this trade makes GM's less scared to deal with Danny. Got to remember this was the guy willing to give up 5 1st rounders for Justice Winslow.
Everyone can relax. The Lakers will probably end up the 7-seed and get cooked in the first round.

i'm massively excited purely on the tank potential. Top 5-6 pick incoming and some kind of slight chance at Victor. Ainge's timing with everything seems to have worked out well. Hopefully we'll suck really bad for 2 months, probably suck next season and then boom Set up for a decade and a half with relatively minimal pain.
We got fleeced a bit. I see it as Karma for us fleecing Minnesota out of their future.
It must be said, this Lakers pick is likely going to go higher than any pick we got for Rudy or Don even with the protections.
Ainge set a high standard for his trade packages. We’re better off now than we were a couple hours ago….just not a fleecing.
Hard to know what was available out there. Conley is a negative contract…Beasley and Vando were worth a highly protected first each if you are being very generous. Lakers pick is probably better than the picks package we would have gotten for those two combined, but maybe we would have gotten some imperfect players/bad salary back.
NAW and two seconds hurts a bit, hopefully one is fake, but I’m very high on NAW and it’s silly to stress over these spare parts. Overall it’s positive, but underwhelming because of the high standard Ainge has set.

At least we didn’t have to give any of those picks or swaps back/out to get a deal done. DA needs to start stocking up on 2nd rounders though. He’s giving them away like he’s DL.

Please please please can we at least have a Russ introductory press conference 
Yep, they're definitely going to make the play-in tournament. They might even win a round in the playoffs if they bag the 7-seed. Whoohoo!
