2024 Trade Rumors

[Catchall]

Reportedly, the Spurs, Grizzlies and Jazz are all willing to move their picks in the top 10 for win-now talent. I’d bet Detroit is open to moving their pick at 5. It’s a buyer’s market for these picks, imo.

What Jazz should to do?

[Jiipee84]

Not surprisingly, there are rumors that OKC is looking to move off of Giddey.

Would the Jazz be interested?
We could do John Collins for Giddey straight across as OKC has a ton of cap space. Giddey's size and playmaking are appealing, but his lack of shooting and defense are concerning. It also moves Keyonte off ball, which could be a good thing, but relegates him from the starting PG position. OKC needs rebounding, and Collins fits next to Chet Holmgren as they both have the ability to play inside or out.

If not, could the Jazz facilitate a trade?
For example, the Nets need a playmaking PG. Trade Collins to OKC, JC to the Nets (who would also get Giddey) and get back Ben Simmons and Dariq Whitehead in return. We might also be able to get some draft consideration out of the deal.

If OKC really has a goal to trade Josh Giddey it can happen any way
but personally i wouldn't be surprised if Presti would want Lauri on Giddey.

What Jazz should to do?

Pass on the lakers. Extend and see what happens. Being injured with small stuff only helps us as we can hold him out to get better and lose games.

The picks from Lakers would be worthless. Laurie, LBJ & Davis will win way too much

[SoCalJazzFan]

There is a lot of speculation of a Garland/KAT trade between the TWolves and Cavs if the Cavs are able to resign Mitchell.

If that were to happen, I wonder how things would shake out. There is a decent chance that the TWolves would get worse as it took Conley the better part of a year to figure out how to play with Gobert. The TWolves looked like they were going to implode before the Jazz gifted them Conley. Also, Garland and Ant are ball in hands kind of guys. How does that work?

Can Mobley provide enough rim protection and paint defense to make up for KAT’s deficiencies? Would the Cavs have enough defense?

I just don’t see who the Jazz could realistically trade for that would be worth sabotaging the next two drafts.

Let’s say the Jazz could trade for both Dejounte Murray and Mikal Bridges (there are rumors both might be available) by giving up a chunk of their draft assets. Would those two make the Jazz top tier Western conference? Which other singular player would be worth the cost?

What Jazz should to do?

Lakers don't have the assets to acquire Lauri. Jazz would want at least one solid young prospect and valuable unprotected picks.

I don't think the Jazz are going to sabotage their next two drafts. I think they're just throwing their weight around and trying to get a bunch of discussions going. If it's a buyer's market for picks, the Jazz are more likely to trade up for someone they want then trade back or trade up.

Clarkson homecoming incoming

Imagine JC playing the Ginobili role for San Antonio

I don't think the Lakers have the assets to trade for Markkanen but it's worth keeping in mind that LeBron is about 73 years old. He has maybe 2 more years left. As long as the Lakers picks are conveyed in 3 years and on, they should be quite valuable.

This trade would not be good for the Jazz at all. I'm not sure what would Minnesota do with the hole at the PF spot (maybe make Naz Reid a starter?) but getting Garland to eventually take over for Conley is about as good a trade as they can hope for in terms of getting good talent back. They'd still have Conley there (in terms of how long it would take for Garland to fit in) so I don't think that would be the reason for a drop off.

As for the Cavs, if they get KAT then they'd have to move either Allen or Mobley, likely Allen. And they could use the assets to get either a SF or a back court partner for Mitchell with more size so that should also help improve their defense over what they had with a Garland-Mitchell pairing. They could be quite good. I really hope this trade doesn't happen.

They would have to trade every pick and swap available, while unprotecting 27. You want to own their future.

Jazz trade 10, 29, 32 for 6 and 42......and take Castle at 6.


I would prefer a different trade.

That is a bit steep for 1 player, but probably is is worth it to get a top 6 player. Castle has the skill and game to be a 10 year starter......I would rather have him than 3 other guys who are not as good.

[Hoops Addict]

This is a trade suggested on x.com I like it a lot.

a OKC fan and a UTA fan hammered out this trade:

Thunder gets
-John Collins
-#10 pick
-#29 pick

Jazz get
-Josh Giddey
-#12 pick
-that protected pick back that they traded to OKC to take on Derrick Favors

just right?

I’d probably do that.

I've something similar floating around. Keep in mind that Giddey is due a new contract but I'd do this deal.

I don't hate this trade and wouldn't mind giving Giddey a ride for a year to see if he is worth extending as a RFA, but I wonder if Topic would be available at #10. There seems to be a lot of overlap in strengths and weaknesses between the two, and you get Topic younger and cheaper for at least 3 years.

Rumoured Zac Lavine for Clarkson & Collins.
I'd like a pick to get off that albatross contract

If that's the best player the Jazz can get they are better off rejecting this trade and tank next season.
