[QUOTE]Tony Jones was recently on ESPN 700 and talked about the likelihood of a Rudy Gobert trade. He said that he was 50/50 on whether a trade for Gobert might happen, but he did say that he thinks a trade for one of the Jazz’s starters may happen soon, although he didn’t say the name. Will we find out soon?[/QUOTE]
Conley, Clarkson maybe Gay
[QUOTE][INDENT] From everything I am hearing the Toronto Raptors do have interest in trading for a Center. One team told me they prefer Rudy Gobert to Ayton. But I don't think that OG Anunoby would be enough to get Gobert out of Utah.

expiring contracts and assets. Mitchell isn't leading you anywhere but the lottery
[QUOTE]The constant rumor that hasn’t been put out has been the Raptors interest in Gobert. As the interest from Atlanta waned, it never died down with the Raptors. It could mean nothing, but it’s clear they like Gobert but maybe they aren’t as interested in paying the pricetag that Ainge has put out there. If there’s one thing we’ve learned this offseason it’s that Ainge holds to his price point with a player. If the other team isn’t willing to meet the asking amount, Ainge won’t make a move. Things are about to get crazy, but we’ll see here soon if something actually happens.
[/QUOTE]
Obviously. Gobert, Siakam, Barnes and Van Fleet with the best front office in the league. They are one of the favorites instantly
[QUOTE]5 years ago today we traded for Ricky Ruuuubio!
Only took a future protected 1st round pick that ended up being Josh Okogie.
I remember how excited I was when we got him. Didn’t exactly pan out like I expected but we took a chance.
[/QUOTE]
it panned out exactly like I expected. Never made any sense
[QUOTE]
I’m sure lots of teams are, but according to Tony Jones Donovan is untouchable and then JC is next on the list of guys the Jazz want to trade the least.[/QUOTE]
which again despite Ainge's track record it's really hard to have much faith in the front office, Mitchell, Clarkson and COTM oh my!!! :facepalm
[QUOTE]
DM, Ball, Bogey, Williams and Vuc as starters with Royce, Mike, JC and Juancho filling out a 9 man rotation. I don't know how realistic this is, but that team could be fun as hell to watch. [/QUOTE]
it's always fun to lose!. That team would look much different by the trade deadline when the tank becomes official
[QUOTE]
The Jazz were spiraling at the last half of the season, they looked broken. Your right that it doesn't all fall on RG but with his contract and limitations a move must be made IMO.
New owner, FO, coach and a new team. It did not work the way they were so go all in on fixing it. I do not want to continue to see the same old guys, with the same energy and effort. I don't see RG leading the Jazz anywhere and all the fan sentimentality to hang on to the past is crazy.
[/QUOTE]
He has less limitations than all but a few players in the league. He can't guard 5 guys by himself or score without touching the ball! New coach. Better roster. See what happens!
Re: 2022 off-season post draft
[url]https://thejnotes.com/2022/06/29/three-mock-trades-improve-utahs-defense/[/url]
[QUOTE]Both Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson are below-average defenders according to [URL="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/nba-player-ratings/"]FiveThirtyEight’s RAPTOR[/URL] projection. While both players are excellent scorers and playmakers, the Jazz needs to shore up their defensive efforts in the backcourt. Having an All-NBA center means a lot less when players can meet him in the paint whenever they want because perimeter players can’t hold their own, and that’s exactly the pitfalls the Utah Jazz have found themselves in.
[/QUOTE]
come on Rudy step it up already!
[QUOTE]Yes, the Jazz would have to give up Jordan Clarkson, but they would receive [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jonestr01.html"]Tre Jones[/URL], one of the best pure young defenders in the league. While he struggles to score from deep, he is a great ball-handler and would allow Donovan Mitchell to play off-ball a lot more. The Spurs would also include [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/p/poeltja01.html"]Jakob Poeltl[/URL], who is one tier below bigs like Gobert, Jokic, and Embiid. While it’s a downgrade at the center, Poeltl could help keep the Jazz in contention as he locks down the paint.
[/QUOTE]
any move that gets Clarkson out of town I am for! It won't be the Spurs
[QUOTE]With Gobert gone and not adding any major scoring threats, this would clearly be Mitchell’s team, and he would have the green light and keys to the offense. On the other side of the ball, the downgrade at the center is not actually a huge hit, and adding Jones would be a nightmare for opposing guards.
[/QUOTE]
yeah with Poeltl they wouldn't miss a beat! :roll:
[QUOTE]By moving young pieces around, the Jazz could make a productive deal for both teams. Yes, Utah would have to give up two project players in Jared Butler and Nickeil Alexander-Walker and take on the absurd [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/f/fultzma01.html"]Markelle Fultz[/URL] contract, but Jordan Clarkson is worth letting go if it means adding a young and defensive-minded guard in [URL="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/a/anthoco01.html"]Cole Anthony[/URL].
[/QUOTE]
you aren't getting Anthony and why would you unless it's for Mitchell? Small back court
[QUOTE]The Magic would be amenable to this trade because it means they can pair second-year shooting guard Jalen Suggs and Paolo Banchero with a tried-and-true point guard in Clarkson, and they could finally compete for a playoff spot in the East.
[/QUOTE]
Clarkson the tried and true pg! :lol

Of course, the Jazz project as a trade team. [URL="https://theathletic.com/3392116/2022/06/30/utah-jazz-free-agency/?source=nbatw"]According to league sources, Utah has received significant interest from multiple teams regarding starting wing Royce O’Neale.[/URL] O’Neale has been a fixture in Utah’s starting lineup, almost since his rookie season, and is one of the shining examples of the past Jazz administration’s ability to develop talent.

Multiple league sources tell The Athletic that the [URL="https://theathletic.com/3392116/2022/06/30/utah-jazz-free-agency/?source=nbatw"]Jazz won’t extend a qualifying offer to forward Eric Paschall,[/URL] thus making him an unrestricted free agent. Paschall came to the Jazz last summer through a trade with the Golden State Warriors. He had good moments, including his postseason run against the Dallas Mavericks, where he made an impact in Game 3, which the Jazz lost.

Those are Mitchell's guys. You sure about that?
[QUOTE] The [URL="https://theathletic.com/3392116/2022/06/30/utah-jazz-free-agency/?source=nbatw"]Jazz have interest in bringing Danuel House Jr.[/URL] back. By the end of the season, he was playing at a starting level. He’s a tough and athletic two-way wing, the kind who should garner significant interest on the open market. Because the Jazz don’t have his Bird rights, they may well have to use all or part of their midlevel if they want to bring him back. If not, they could offer him a vet minimum and hope that’s enough to stave off other offers.

[URL="https://theathletic.com/3392116/2022/06/30/utah-jazz-free-agency/?source=nbatw"]Paschall should draw interest on the open market, according to sources.[/URL] He’s a terrific athlete for his size, gets to the basket off the dribble and is a capable scorer. His absence from the roster means the Jazz have one more forward spot they need to account for as free agency opens.

Tony Jones: [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]Royce O’Neale to Brooklyn for a first had been building momentum for multiple days, according to sources. The Jazz need future trade capital.[/URL] The Nets took him with an exception. Now the Jazz have a bunch of open roster spots.
One NBA executive suggests a trade where the Nets trade Kyrie to the Los Angeles Lakers and get three-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert in return. [URL="https://heavy.com/sports/brooklyn-nets/kyrie-irving-nets-jazz-rudy-gobert/"]“You could do three teams, Kyrie to the Lakers, Gobert to Brooklyn, and Russ to Utah, with the Jazz probably buying him out. That’s a longshot, though,” the executive said to Heavy’s own Sean Deveney[/URL]. “It could be something that happens during the season, if the Nets get on the court and things go sideways — Ben Simmons is still not healthy, Durant is not happy, they’re struggling. At that point, the Nets are pretty much out of leverage, and the Lakers could send Westbrook and a pick for Kyrie, and it’s doubtful the Nets would get a better deal. Again, it is a long shot, but it is realistic.”
Chris Mannix: Meanwhile Utah, after giving Will Hardy five years of job security, quietly deals a top defender for a first round pick. As noted today on @SInow — [URL="https://*********.com/social/"]keep an eye on Danny Ainge tossing a stick of dynamite on that Jazz roster[/URL].
