Please stop, this is entirely too reasonable and optimistic for this forum.

If Ayton is traded in the offseason, Do we look at this again knowing Turner's making 30 million? Is his value even positive at that amount ? I can't imagine how it would be??
Are you saying Ayton is overpaid or that Turner is overpaid?

Including a FRP with Crowder makes absolutely zero sense. He was a starter on a team that made the Finals and won 64 games. Not just that but he is an expiring and a proven winner.
Not a single player you just mentioned even comes close. I can see why Jones is hesitating because why give the Bucks/Nuggets a player that helps them reach the Finals.
Therefore I ask why do you feel that we need to throw in a FRP?
Like I said... because Clarkson is averaging 21 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds per game. To get a dynamic player like that would likely cost a 1st round pick. Jazz are likely to get a 1st round pick from someone for Clarkson if they end up trading him.
I guess if the Suns were able to get a 1st for Crowder, then Suns wouldn't have to give up their pick, so I do suppose a trade like this could work (also I was under the impression the Hawks didn't have their 2023 1st, but they do)
Suns get -
Jordan Clarkson
Jazz get -
Derrick Favors
Hawks 2023 1st
Hawks get -
Jae Crowder
The trade could be expanded if the Suns/Hawks were interested in Collins and Capela for Ayton and Dario too.
I would rather take a chance on DAR then waste a pick on Clarkson. Move Crowder for a solid player and keep our picks until the offseason.

Every NBA analyst says the Jazz owner loves Clarkson and he is the one vet they DO NOT want to trade. Zach Lowe says he has heard it a lot.

Since Towns went out, D'Lo in 27 games is averaging 20 points, 6 assists, and 1 steal per game while shooting 49% from the field, 42% from 3, and 91% at the FT line. The Wolves are 14-13 in those games, but since the start of 2023 the Wolves are 10-3. An even smaller sample size for 2023, Russell is shooting 47% from 3 and 95% from the line. He's been on fire lately.
That was some great timing based on my above post

If there is an opportunity to get DLo I would jump at it now. He's getting to that Kuzma level of not being on the trade market IMO. Right now, is 5/5 shooting 4 of 4 from 3 in the 1st quarter against the Kings, he has 2 assists as well.

Yeah! Even with him struggling more than usual, and you still have fans saying .........................Get this guy off our team. I honestly can't wait for Ayton to be traded for these same people to finally see how truly good we'll be without his presence, easy scoring opportunities and efficiency. And the gravity he affords our shooters. The hindsight responses and rationalizations should be very entertaining and comical.

He is playing the best ball of his career. This would be something we'd look at if we parted with Ayton for a guard or forward.
