ManicBlue Intervention Needed

Sounds simple. Need other examples of trading for stars other than drafting one? It's really not that hard. I gave one example and everyone is obsessing over one example. smh

If SA is willing to part with their unprotected ATL 1sts

Minnesota? What do they have left to trade…

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 6:18pm

KAT and protections?

Charles Darwin

Jul 1, 6:21pm

I don’t see the Jazz having any interest in KAT

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 6:22pm

I’d agree just listing assets they could theoretically move

Charles Darwin

Jul 1, 6:24pm

They have a bunch of 1st Round picks they can still offer

CougarCanuck76

Jul 1, 6:21pm

Not allowed to trade past 2031…they have no picks

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 6:22pm

Yea but IOU's

I would be happy to land Keegan Murray. Draft picks are unrealized assets.

If so many teams want Markkanen, why would the Jazz want to trade him? hmmm?

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 6:29pm

Because there's no viable path to acquire star players to pair with him outside

Hypnotoad

Jul 1, 6:33pm

There are other ways to get a "star" player than drafting one. Maybe Markkanen is the Jazz's "star" player and you want

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 6:34pm

Do share.

Jul 1, 6:39pm

Sure here's an easy one ...

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 6:49pm

They traded PG for him. Hmm. Which Jazz player is most likely to land the Jazz

Hypnotoad

Jul 1, 6:52pm

They traded an established star to get him…so like trading Lauri

point is trading Markkanen can be a way to get a star, you don’t seem to agree

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 8:06pm

Who?

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 8:23pm

Well first I don’t believe Markkanen is that star, he’s good, not great

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 8:44pm

Nope. I disagree.

ManicBlue

He’s not SGA and Collins and Sexton aren’t good enough to build around

ManicBlue

Jul 2, 8:51am

I mean you were the one comparing him to SGA…he’s also not Tatum

PHXSUNS31

Jul 2, 9:05am

hahaha If you'll note, I wasn't comparing him to SGA. I was comparing their potential circumstances of being traded.

ManicBlue

Jul 2, 9:14am

Sure, but what’s relevant is how good Lauri is…not the situation.

PHXSUNS31

Jul 2, 9:29am

Lauri is barely 27. There is plenty of time to capitalize on his prime.

ManicBlue

Jul 2, 9:35am

Right in his prime…you think he wants to spend that on a lottery team?

PHXSUNS31

Jul 2, 10:02am

I guess we'll see.

Boston did win without a MVP level guy, but they were absolutely stacked

Brooklyn tanked for him…I don’t think Minny/Cleveland will cooperate

PHXSUNS31

Jul 2, 11:06am

The Nets didn't intentionally tank (also, I wouldn't bank on Minny not screwing it up either).

ManicBlue

Jul 2, 11:24am

They got Brown and Tatum in back to back years…2 guys better than Lauri

PHXSUNS31

ManicBlue

Jul 2, 11:50am

I won’t quibble…they are close, but 3 AS, 1 All-NBA, 1 FMVP vs 1 AS lean Brown

PHXSUNS31

Jul 2, 1:27pm

Of course there are other ways. But the jazz already struck out this summer

Hypnotoad

Jul 1, 6:39pm

So? It's not like the Jazz are going to contend for a title this year anyway. They're still developing the young talent

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 6:52pm

You're assuming some of the 7 young players are going to be really good.

Hypnotoad

Jul 1, 6:54pm

How do you know they're not or that any future unknown draft pick will be?
