[Givony] Sources told ESPN the Jazz are exploring many different options on draft night, including packaging their first two picks to move up into the lottery (possibly to Nos. 5, 6 or. 7), or using their two latter first-rounders and taking on a contract from a team such as Dallas for Davis Bertans

Maybe it’s cause we haven’t had a lottery pick since 2018, but I honestly can’t remember this many teams talking about trading picks in one single draft. Really excited and a little nervous to see what Nico cooks up.
Hate all the rumors. Let me know when something is official that we can actually talk about lol
Lmaoo davis bertans is basically an expiring (has only 5m guaranteed next year), he is not a guy you have to dump. If we dump salary to Utah in exchange for 16 and 28, they better take on THJ, Bertans, Bullock, Maxi, and Javale and give us back like Olynyk.
10 + THJ, Bertans, Bullock, Maxi, and Javale for 16, 28, and Olynyk I would do. THJ, Bullock, and Maxi aren’t even negative contracts so it’s not like some major salary dump, but opening up all that cap space would be useful if we get an agreement with some FA that we know we can spend it on. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be any point to dumping all that salary.
Not really interested in trading back to 16+28 unless they give us a real rotation piece (that could play in the playoffs) . Sorry but Olynik (as many suggested ) is not that . Hard Pass. Also @16, all the interesting prospects are gone.
Only attractive player in that team is Agbagi and they will not give him away
I was a fan of a Utah trade when I thought Lively or Coulibaly would fall to the 16 pick. Now that neither of them are likely to, I’d pass.
