Trade Official 2025-2026 Trade Deadline Thread

Boom!

But what are those three picks? I hope its not 2026!

2027 most favorable of Cavs/Wolves/Jazz, 2027 Lakers, 2031 Suns

I'd argue that if JJ is worth 3 picks the McDaniel or TMIII are worth less...

Edited to add: those aren't even good picks. I'd rather have one unprotected picks from a poor team than that.

 

[RC_Drunkford]

that's a heist. Jazz sent them a bunch of garbage, 2 mediocre picks in a bad draft and a Suns 31. This is almost like the Fox trade that we did.

JJJ is overrated and overpaid, that brought his price down.

JJJ sucks but need to know which 1st utah send away and what are protections. It's Danny Ainge, he wouldnt get fleeced like that

 

[Itzsoweezee]

That's...cheap?

Wow. Grizzlies got fleeced

 

[LeBowen]

Danny Ainge sending a clear message: he's the one who does the fleecing.

 

[French Vanilla]

Keyonte George is very legit. Very impressed with him. Jazz should be a fun team to watch.

Smart trade by Utah. 2027 isn't a great draft. So both picks won't amount to much. So basically they get JJJ for the 2031 pick. I guess they will punt this season (look out for Quad soreness for JJJ) and try to get into the top 4 for 2026. And they should be set. They have adopted the Raptors approach from last season. (and the Wiz' approach from this one).

Btw.. what the heck are the Grizzlies doing?! JJJ was worth better and they are still stuck with Ja.

 

[Robz4000]

Again, this is why you don't trade with Utah tbh.

 

[RC_Drunkford]

Lauri/JJJ front court is weird though. Both are PFs and not Cs.

 

[Mugen]

I kinda like it for Memphis tbh.

 

[RC_Drunkford]

Ja Morant is probably next. Memphis blowing it up means Aldama is on the table. Brian Wright needs to get on the phone.

 

[Mugen]

3 first rounders + they don't have to pay JJJ for the next 5 years. I'll do that if I'm Memphis tbh. Will be interesting to see what they get for Ja.

 

[scott]

The Jazz did what now?!?

MEM clearly blowing it up... SANTI TO SAN ANTONIO LETS FUCKING GO

Just my opinion but I'd value McDaniels and TMIII both above JJJ

JJJ has too many critical flaws in his game.
Can't rebound.
No post game.
Basically the best role player in the league, but on a max contract.

Chet is a better role player than JJJ tbh.

George/Bailey/Lauri/JJJ/Kessler could be an interesting jumbo lineup for them to run out at times...

JJJ kind of fucks us at times, I'm preparing for Will Hardy to continue to punish us. The beatings shall continue until we wear the magic underpants.

 

[spurraider21]

jazz getting vince williams too is not being talked about, he's pretty f'n solid

 

[LeBowen]

Jazz have 2 more games against the Rockets and 3 against the Nuggets.
Good thing that we're done with them for the season.
Although I expect Ainge to shut both JJJ and Markkanen down with some bs excuse.
If they get a top4 pick in the draft, they're going to be a top4 team next season, tbh.

 

[bozhemoi]

The idea of Jaren Jackson Jr is way better than the actual player

 

[Mal]

Yeah, Markanen will be diagnosed with ebola soonish

 

[PocketMonger]

Great deal for Utah at that price.
