It only makes sense if they are able to sign Beal

In terms of pure value, I agree, it's bad for LA. Norman is the better, cheaper player. But John is younger and balances their roster. I don't see how they didn't get their 2nd back in this deal, Utah sheds $10mil in immediate cap savings, more if they buy out Kevin.
However, IF the Clips are in on both Beal and Paul, this makes more sense.

The Jazz has turned into a poverty franchise.

On the surface this seems like a bad trade for everyone but John Collins.
Money wise:
MIA adds $7.1M salary for the year but gets an expiring and saves money from SLO MO’s 2nd year. Clears $9.6M for 26-27
LAC adds $6M salary, expiring for expiring
UTA drops $13M in salary for the year but adds $9.6M salary to 26-27

Jazz should’ve just kept Clarkson.
Kessler/Nurkic
Love/Filipowski
Markannen/Bailey
Kyle Anderson/George
Clarkson/Collier
This would be a contending team.

Respectfully, contending for what?
The west is brutal. Love and Anderson are way past their prime. Clarkson is a bench guy.

Anderson is non-guaranteed next year.

Ah. Didn’t dive deep enough. I’m seeing that now

Surprised Clippers went away from Norm. He was their 2nd best player at times, some games their best player.
Only makes sense if they end up with both Collins AND Beal in a buyout.

Lolol. That was a finesse by Miami. These multi team trades make it easy

The Clippers discovered they need bigs to contend.
Brook and Collins in a summer, plus the renewal of Batum.
Now Kawhi will play SF all the time and they are quite a contender. They keep Zubac, Harden, Batum, Kawhi and the same style for three years and thet is usually a recipe for good results.
