But why would they want to pay a player tons of money who can't help them?

Seems like a team like that would rather have players with potential on low salaries or high draft picks.

Those sound better than a player who doesn't fit well in today's NBA.

What if the Jazz traded for AD? Hear me out...

I don't see any package of players that the Jazz could trade for AD.

Gobert would be the best player in a deal for him from any team. Only All-NBA gu

There’s no trade they can make for him that doesn’t include Mitchell.

If the Lakers are offering Lonzo, the 4 and Ingraham who might

An offer is much different than a finalized trade.

I think that’s better than Gobert. Rudy isn’t a good fit with Zion

They aren’t exactly in a great spot. Leverage matters and NOLA

By that argument you’d just let AD walk.

The point is, which you seem to fail to grasp

The jazz don’t have the assets to make the trade

No team does. If you’re trading AD it is 60 cents on the dollar

macdizzle

Agreed but young assets is crucial.

No deal. We’d have to give up Exum and he’s untouchable.

New Orleans wouldn’t make the deal unless they got Mitchell

You guys are all vastly overestimating NOLAs leverage

macdizzle

And I think you are underestimating the leverage they have and the market

AD becomes a free agent after next season. You don't have to give up much

Just to remind everyone, AD has not won a title. 2 trips to the playoffs.
