2022 off season Post Gobert. A new era begins

[QUOTE] The Celtics consider All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum off limits in any trade talks, but [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34291954/boston-celtics-teams-engage-talks-brooklyn-nets-possible-kevin-durant-deal-sources-say"]Boston is able to construct a package for Durant that could include Brown and as many as three unprotected first-round picks (2025, 2027 and 2029) — and two pick swaps (2024 and 2026).[/URL] Brown, 25, has two years and $56 million left on his current contract.

[/QUOTE]

Nets are in the Mitchell mix if they want with those picks. Mitchell, Brown, Simmons and Kyrie(or Westbrook) could be pretty good. Ainge would prefer unprotected from NY I'm sure though. Could also go after some of the other Jazz vets to fill out the roster

The Knicks’ asset pool — up to eight first-round draft picks and young players such as Quentin Grimes, Immanuel Quickley and Obi Toppin — gives them a clear opportunity to acquire Mitchell, [URL="https://theathletic.com/3446562/2022/07/25/celtics-offer-jaylen-brown-package-for-kevin-durant-the-latest-on-donovan-mitchell-and-more-inside-pass/"]but sources say talks so far have moved slowly and the sides are far from an agreement.[/URL] With three years guaranteed remaining on Mitchell’s contract, the Jazz are not operating with a sense of urgency and have the time to evaluate the best offers for the 25-year-old. Mitchell has spent the summer in his usual offseason routine: high-intensity workouts and time with his family and friends. Sources said the three-time NBA All-Star has not requested a trade or attempted to force his way out of Utah, but should the franchise move toward a full rebuild a competitor like Mitchell would prefer to be in an environment geared toward winning now, not later.

For now, the Jazz will continue to evaluate incoming calls and seek ways to balance their roster.

[QUOTE]Last week, ESPN ranked [URL="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34277696/ranking-some-biggest-trades-two-decades-how-inform-kevin-durant-future"]15 of the biggest NBA trades over the past 20 years[/URL] (their story was framed around the trade talk surrounding a current Brooklyn Net, superstar Kevin Durant). The Williams-Jazz trade — which brought Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, a draft pick that became Enes Kanter and a draft pick that became Gorgui Dieng to Utah — came in at No. 4.

[/QUOTE]

2nd offer from the only team that knew he was available. A lot different than Danny trying to rape Dolan over a lesser player

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2022/07/24/will-utah-jazz-players-roster-2022-23-not/[/url]

[QUOTE][h=3]7. Will Jarred Vanderbilt be in Utah for 2022/23?[/h][/QUOTE]

at 23 you'd think but Danny will trade anyone if the price is right

[QUOTE]All in all, Utah’s trade of Rudy Gobert was all about the picks they got in return, and while the players may be valuable, there’s no star among them, so whether Vanderbilt is moved for a late first/second round pick or if he plays for this squad, he’s not going to be too big of a deal. At this time, it’s more likely than not however that Jarred is flipped for some sort of a pick that Danny Ainge can try to hit on in the future, as this team just isn’t equipped to keep players like Vanderbilt with a low ceiling going forward through this rebuild.

[/QUOTE]

don't actually know. Keesler has Gobert type potential. Bolambo could be special if he fixes his shot

[QUOTE][h=3]6. Will Walker Kessler be in Utah for 2022/23?[/h][/QUOTE]

he's most likely but with his potential being an NBA backup Danny will let you have him for an unprotected 1st!

do all of these teams want Mitchell or just in on the deal? Not sure what their assets look like but a deal with NY, the Kings and the Hornets should allow Danny to have maximum fun at least!

[URL]http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=2ahbuo2w[/URL]

If the Kings own all of their own picks and want to send them all unprotected they're in the mix! They are even more desperate than James ****in Dolan too

[QUOTE]The ideal NBA forward should be able to step out and hit some shots. He cannot do that. If he spends the summer working on fixing his weaknesses, he could be a viable starter at some point in his career. That being said, he is entering year five, so he is running out of time to prove that he can become the guy he was supposed to be.

[/QUOTE]

41st pick of the draft. He's already better than the guy he was supposed to be :facepalm

[QUOTE]This is a do-or-die year for Vanderbilt. He is under contract for two more seasons, but if he doesn’t break out this year then the Jazz should be inclined to let him ride the bench in his last season and play rookies ahead of him in the rotation, which would shatter his confidence and ruin his chances of having an NBA career. 2023 is the season he has to put the pieces together or find a new league to play in.

[/QUOTE]

he's 23 and was starting on a pretty good team last year. Great rebounder that defends with energy. He's not going anywhere! :lol

[QUOTE]Thanks to the time spent in the G-League and a foot injury, potential star [URL="https://www.nba.com/player/1628962/udoka-azubuike"]Udoka Azubuike[/URL] has not really had a chance to shine yet. In college, he showed he could be a double-double machine with elite defense on one of the best teams in the country, so even though he has played two poor seasons, fans shouldn’t despair yet.

[/QUOTE]

Actually he has. Was starting and doing a solid job just a few months ago

[QUOTE]If he can put it all together, fans should be elated. He has shown he can perform on the big stage, and if it translates to the NBA then the Jazz are certainly looking at a better-than-average starting center. That may not sound exciting, but the average starting center in the league is who? Jakob Poeltl? Jusuf Nurkic? Azubuike can be better than them, he just hasn’t been given a chance.

[/QUOTE]

defensively could be better. Doubt he'll ever be as good as Nurkic offensively

2 or 3 picks isn't far is it?

[QUOTE]The Jazz reportedly has a high asking price for Mitchell and, at least until now, the Knicks have not met that price. Or perhaps Utah is waiting it out to see what else they could get in the package.

[/QUOTE]

I think they're just going over what teams want to offer and what they want and figuring out the best way to go. Two. three, four team trade?

[QUOTE]Either way, it seems like Utah isn’t terribly rushing to finalize a Mitchell trade. They have no reason to be. Mitchell still has three years remaining on his current deal and training camp doesn’t even open for another month.

[QUOTE]Duncan Robinson has negative trade value after being benched in the playoffs despite having three years and nearly $60 million left on his contract. Miami is likely going to have to cough up a future first-round in any trade to push Robinson off their books, and that could increase the asking price the Jazz could demand for Mitchell.

[/QUOTE]

don't want him!

[QUOTE]In this deal, the Wizards would have to give up former University of Utah star Kyle Kuzma largely to make salaries work because the Jazz won’t have any interest in a deal centered around Kristaps Porzingis.

[/QUOTE]

doubt they want Kuzma either but he could probably be flipped unlike Robinson

[QUOTE]Unfortunately for the Jazz, neither player fits their current rebuilding timeline, and both would be acquired with the simple goal of being traded again during the season for additional future assets.

[/QUOTE]

You need some young vets. 23 and 25 fit for now

[QUOTE]The Charlotte Hornets are perhaps a surprise team to show up on this list but have been looking to make a splash on the trade market to push themselves into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference.

[/QUOTE]

No surprise. One of the worst run teams in the league. Ainge 's mouth is watering!

[QUOTE]LaMelo Ball is already a star and pairing him with a true go-to scorer could unlock his full potential even earlier in his career.

[/QUOTE]

Ball's size makes sense with Mitchell

looks like most of these teams can get in the mix if they give up unprotected picks. Unprotected from Miami and Toronto probably won't be good picks though. NY, Charlotte and Kings are your best bet or a rape

Still, because of LeVert’s age, contract situation, there were also thoughts about him being a long-term play if he looked like a quality fit alongside Cleveland’s budding core.

sure but how many unprotected 1sts?

[QUOTE]If the Jazz trade for Westbrook, they could immediately waive him or negotiate a buyout. This has happened before. Utah once traded for another former MVP in Derrick Rose, who never wore a Jazz jersey.

[/QUOTE]

that was the trade deadline. Not sure it matters with Westbrook? Probably can't trade him at the deadline so they'd probably get rid of him immediately. He sure wouldn't be playing for them!

[QUOTE]The Jazz currently have only one free roster spot available. The Jazz can carry up to 20 players in the offseason, but they’ll need to trim that number to 15 before the season starts. Most Mitchell trade frameworks involve the Jazz bringing back 3-4 players. Simply put, they need to make some moves to reduce the number of under-contract Jazzmen, especially if they are planning any 3-for-1 or even 4-for-1 acquisitions.

[/QUOTE]

they can carry 20. The size of the roster isn't an issue at the moment and I doubt it will be for a few seasons. Everyone is expendable at the moment

[QUOTE]The tricky thing is that the Jazz have a lot of them: Conley, Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson, Patrick Beverley, and Rudy Gay are all in their 30s. Even Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt could be moved. It’s no easy task to move 5-7 players, especially after many teams have already completed their free agency moves.

[/QUOTE]

don't think many teams if any have completed their moves. All waiting on Durant and Mitchell. Other than Gay I can't see a problem getting rid of anyone(maybe someone they get in a new deal like Westbrook?)

[QUOTE]The Jazz can probably trade two or three veterans separately before the season starts. Bogey, Clarkson, and Beverley in particular could be easy to move. Conley and Gay may have smaller markets. A Westbrook deal would allow the Jazz to trade 3-4 of those vets in one move. If you want a detailed breakdown at what that trade could entail, check out [URL="https://www.sltrib.com/sports/jazz/2022/07/28/what-would-russell-westbrook/"]Eric Walden’s piece[/URL] at the Salt Lake Tribune.

[/QUOTE]

Conley should still have a market especially if Clarkson does

[QUOTE]The Jazz have multiple Minnesota picks from the Rudy Gobert trade. The lower the Wolves are in the standings, the better value Utah gets in their draft picks. While it’s a small thing, if the Lakers are better than the Timberwolves, it helps the Jazz. But for Jazz fans that find helping the Lakers unpalatable, I understand if this particular argument feels feeble.

[/QUOTE]

Lakers and Jazz will suck. Minny won't

[QUOTE]The good news is Utah has a leverage advantage. While it would help the Jazz to trade multiple veterans in a single deal, they can afford to be patient. Starting the season with Conley or Clarkson isn’t a terrible scenario. And the Lakers happen to have James, who is likely fine mortgaging the franchise’s future in exchange for immediate improvement.

[/QUOTE]

it is actually. The kids need to play the right way not the Clarkson way. Conley obviously a good vet to have around but not if he's taking Butler's minutes

[url]https://thejnotes.com/2022/07/28/utah-jazz-hornets-offer-mitchell/[/url]

[QUOTE]The Hornets would have to give up quite the package to get him. Between Kai Jones and James Bouknight, the Hornets have a few enticing young pieces the Jazz may want. Since Clarkson, Beasley, and Jared Butler all play shooting guard and the Jazz are without a center of the future, I would rather take Jones.

[/QUOTE]

Clarkson and Beasley won't be around past the trade deadline and Butler is more of a 1

[QUOTE]If the options are this deal with the Hornets or nothing, I honestly would like them to make this trade. Jones could be the answer to [URL="https://thejnotes.com/2022/07/05/utah-jazz-first-depth-chart-offseason/"]current roster issues[/URL], and the haul of picks is less than ideal but still substantial.

[/QUOTE]

only 25 mill apart on contracts! :roll:

this works. LeMelo with Mitchell makes some sense. Hornets have some young talent. Do they have the unprotected picks?

He's better than that. Probably not a rotation player for them but a good energy guy to have on the end of the bench

There’s been some conflicting reports on the Utah Jazz and RJ Barrett amid the Knicks’ pursuit of Donovan Mitchell. While some reports state that the Jazz have had no in interest in Barrett, I don’t believe that is the case. Earlier this month – before reports emerged that Utah was willing to listen on Mitchell trade offers – the [URL="https://www.sny.tv/articles/knicks-shouldnt-rj-barrett-donovan-mitchell-trade-jazz-interest"]Jazz asked the Knicks about a package that included Mitchell Robinson, Barrett, other players, and at least three first-round picks.[/URL] Around that time, members of the Jazz were also making educated guesses/projections on what an extension for Barrett may look like, per sources.

[URL="https://www.sny.tv/articles/knicks-shouldnt-rj-barrett-donovan-mitchell-trade-jazz-interest"]Around the same time, some with the Jazz ranked Barrett among the best potential players they could receive in a trade from New York.[/URL] So, as of earlier this month, the Jazz certainly had interest in Barrett as part of a trade return from the Knicks.
