Is there anyone who stands out as a guy the Jazz would outbid other teams for?

I think the most likely answer is none, but If I could see a world where things break in the way Ja Morant is available. He's had some issues off the court, and I could see Memphis running out of patience. He's also the type where he's now #30, but he could be #7 with a good year.

I could also see Zion be up for grabs.

If Ja is getting traded because of additional "issues" the ne place it won't be to is Utah....... LaVine or Herro would probably be the type of players Jazz could get........

It really depends on who the Jazz draft, how the newer players do this upcoming season and who is even available next summer. While I don't want the Jazz to trade for Ingram right now, I can see a scenario where he isn't traded and ends up an UFA as the Pels end up keeping Trey Murphy instead. Would the Jazz have enough cap space to sign him or do a sign and trade? He would be the most likely scenario, IMO.

I guess I wonder why we assume that if Ja has issues he won’t end up in Utah? Those are exactly the type of players Ainge has a track record of going after.

Just look at the Miles Bridges rumors.

Those were exactly that, rumors...... Who has Ainge actually got who had off the court issues?

You know that's a fair question, I think about players like Rondo, Irving, Marcus Morris had a domestic violence case against him when he traded for him. IT also had locker room issues in PHX, but mainly that was complaining about his role more than anything.

I should have added, in Utah...... Massachusetts is a different animal altogether....... But, we shall see.....

I think Ainge is crazy enough to trade for someone like Ja believing they can sell them on Utah once they get here. Granted, that is just my belief, I don't have any evidence for it other than the rumored players that he's supposedly gone after so far. Wither they stay once they've got here is a whole different question.

I don't think the likelihood of Ja is high by any means, it's just the only player in that top 30 that I think has top ten potential where I could see them be moved in the next few years.

Ingram, Young, Randle, Allen, Garland, Middleton, FVV, MPJ, McCollum, Green, Grant, and Simons seem like the guys that could be available. I think you could add literally all of them to this team and not be a contender.

Devin Booker is my dark horse candidate since the Suns have no assets and that team is pretty meh.

Luka is still the pipe dream.

Good list, I think Ingram would pair well with Markkanen and Sexton. I like MPJ as well out of that list. Simons is a player I used to think would be a good to player to go after, but with our draft picks he would be redundant.
