Gotta pump those numbers. Trade our veterans to west coast teams that can displace or keep the TWolves out of the playoff race. Lakers, Pels, Portland, Dallas. Jazz need something more like 1-3, 16, 24

The only thing keeping Minny out will be injuries.

If they stay healthy there's no path to getting a good pick from them this year.

The west will be very competitive next year. Teams 7-11 will most likely be teams that deal with injuries, even if minor ones. Getting our three key vets on western conference teams that are competing for 5-10 is the best use of those assets. That is unless an eastern conference team gives the Jazz something they can't say no to.

I don't wish any of the wolves players get injured, but the Jazz need to make it more likely they come out on top if one of their main guys guy down for a stretch of time.

Unless Hardy becomes the Sean Payton of the NBA, I don’t see the Wolves dealing major injury issues.

I would bet on at least one of Cleveland and Minny screwing things up over the next couple of years. Jazz better be careful. They may win more this year. Keep working trader danny

I don't follow your comment? I don't know Sean Payton because I don't follow football. Had to google him. By Hardy I assume you mean WIll Hardy? Do you think I am saying Hardy will play our players so much that he will cause injury? If so, that is not what I am tying to convey at all.

I am saying the Jazz should trade their key vets to teams that are trying to make the playoffs in the west. Trade Conley, Bogey, Clarkson, and maybe even 1-2 of the new guys they brought in to teams like the Lakers, Suns, Dallas, Pels, Portland, and Clips to help them move up in the standings. Help the other teams in the west, hope it pushes the wolves down a spot or two in the standings.

Sean Payton had bounties on other teams players IE injure them.

Holy smokes, what a piece of sh##.

Yeah, that is not what I am suggesting. Rudy is one of my favorite players of all time. I hope he wins a chip with the Wolves....in 2024. Just saying trade the Jazz vets to teams where they can help opposing teams that play against the Wolves the most.

Oh I know, that’s why Payton was suspended for a year or two.

I sound crazy but I think if a player leaves Utah on bad terms they will have bad luck, The LHM curse. Rudy didn’t leave on bad terms so I think that team will be successful.

Utah should come in under Sacramento and Orlando, imo. The Magic with Wagner, Banchero and Carter Jr. have to start winning games at some point. Spurs, Rockets, Thunder, Jazz, Pacers and Pistons should be the bottom 6 teams.

Barring injuries, the Western Conference ought to be: Suns, Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, with T'wolves, Mavs and Pels in the 6 - 8 range. Maybe the Jazz could help the Lakers have a resurgence by sending them Bojan and Clarkson.

The T'wolves' pick could come in between 17 and 21, depending on the Nets, Pels, Mavs and Cavs.
