ManicBlue Intervention Needed

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

I don't think you can assume the Jazz know for sure on any of them at this point.

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

Jul 1, 6:17pm

Minnesota? What do they have left to trade…

KAT and protections?

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

Jul 1, 6:24pm

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

Jul 1, 6:21pm

Not allowed to trade past 2031…they have no picks

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 6:22pm

Yea but IOU's

Jul 1, 6:23pm

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

PHXSUNS31

Jul 1, 6:52pm

Great now project which rookie/2nd yr player on a team that wants Markkanen will be a future star.

ManicBlue

Jul 1, 7:21pm

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.

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

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

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?
