Trade Westbrook to the Jazz 

Post#1 » by NotMyKawhi » Fri Sep 16, 2022 6:38 pm

Jazz wanna lose this year in this stacked draft, Conley will keep them in that playin chase race. Bojan too. They wanna get rid of these guys.


Conley lowkey great fit. Bojan will stretch the floor too. This trade would make you a legit contender for the ship where now play in is realistic...



And the bonus? Conley is so good, great contract, if you want to get rid of him to free up cap space you won't have to lose picks to do it

None of your "bonus" is true. Bojan would be good though.

You know, all of us here aren’t actually “real gm’s”. You don’t need to lie to us as if we have the power to actually be fooled into trading for Conley lol

Ultimately, I think the price would be too high to turn Westbrook into useful players.

I'm betting he will be on the team to start the season.
New York said Mitchell wasn't the guy you trade the sink for, then they traded it for Mikal, lol.

How can that possibly be true when he’s so useless on defense that getting rid of him without return makes us better? Even if we trade him for three or four players and waive them all, it’s still an improvement.

I’d buy a Utah Westbrook jersey for cheap if we could get some assets.

First of all, i dont get the Bojan deal with Detroit. At all. I mean why take on Olynyk's salary when you have a younger and better version on the team in Lauri Markannen. And who the hell is Saben Lee?

Never was a fan of Bojan to begin with, so that's fine. If the Jazz were interested in shedding salary for next season i think Conley, Beasley, Gay for Westbrook + minor assets would be great. Would really prefer the Lakers to get back another 5, but i dont see them moving Lauri without getting some real assets back.

Trade Westbrook for Deandre Ayton. Add picks and Nunn and whomever. We need a real big man.

Why would the Suns do this?

Ayton and coach apparently haven’t spoken since the playoffs. I’m well aware it’s a looooong shot but I’d pry if I were Rob.
