You know what type of player you could trade for with a top 3 pick in the trade 2025 draft?!

Yeah, I know. But he's all about quantity and diversity of assets. It seems he

Jazz need to convey the FRP to OKC next year or it screws up the 2026 draft somewhat.

How so exactly? I don’t follow the logic.

Because the Jazz have pick swaps with both Minn and Cleveland in 2026.

ManicBlue

Meh. Hopefully the Jazz are good in 2026 & then the pick (top 8 projected) just conveys to OKC & it’s all a moot point

OKC would get the best of the Utah/Cleveland/Minn picks. Pick will convey next year.

OKC doesn’t participate in the CLE or MIN swaps. If the Jazz pick conveys in 26

Who is the guard they’re trading for? Trae Young? Donovan Mitchell?

I guess you'll be surprised then.

Murray was available at the deadline and the Jazz were .500

The price tag might have been too high then vs now. We'll see.

Dejounte Murray on the Jazz might get them up to a 7 seed next year.

Adding a guard like Murray won't be the only change the Jazz make. Don't underestimate the value of

I just don’t think they have the assets to more than 1. They would if they get a top 3 pick next year though.

Quick response. The lakers think they can get anyone they want at any time. It's hilarious and won't happen.

IMO, the Jazz need a good starting guard (or 2) via trade/FA and another good young guard from the draft.

ManicBlue

Apr 16, 11:31am

I would have had the opposite impression. If you look at his trades, he's trading for draft picks

Bob Vance

Draft picks can be traded. He's accumulating picks so he can trade them

Right. That's why I disagree with Ainge.
