Should The Utah Jazz Trade For Damian Lillard?



The Utah Jazz gave Jordan Clarkson a significant contract extension over the weekend, after Jordan Clarkson exercised his player option for the 2023-24 season. What changed from what we reported last week, and what does this mean for the Utah Jazz and Jordan Clarkson moving forward?

NBA Summer League is in full swing, and so is silly season when it comes to trades. Damian Lillard and Paul George, who both should have been moved, but now maybe neither will be! Why the New York Knicks said no to Paul George, and why the Portland Trailblazers are playing hardball with the Miami Heat and Damian Lillard.

  1. Portland the organization said they're going to look Beyond Miami little look Way Beyond Miami plus they do not like the offer that Miami is offering them they don't like it and even though Utah is not necessarily going to be a contending team and maybe with him there's that possibility not a guarantee but there's a possibility with the guys that they're going to have they will be a lot better of course they could be a contending team now that doesn't mean I'm going to be a tough 17 or something but they would be a lot better and anything is possible plus Dame definitely is opened he's open it's not his first choice but he's open just like he is with San Antonio

  2. You're not going to have to get away all their draft Capital not according to the experts still still have plenty of capital left over to sign two-bedroom minimums and the mid-level exception to be able to sign about two more guys at least absolutely that's according to the Expert Plus will still have some pics leftover only talk about giving away for maybe five future picks and they've got about 12 of them left out of the 15 that started with or maybe 13 left something like that

  3. Starting 5 is JC at 1, Ochai or J. Collins at the 2. Lauri at 3. KO or Hendrix at 4, Kessler at 5. Port. Doesn't want Guards, they want Bigs. With Dame at 1, JC or Ochai at 2, Lauri at 3, KO or Collins or Hendrix at 4, Kessler at 5. With Dunn, THT, Brice, Luka, etc. off the bench. I like our chances.

  4. Hmm, this is confusing me. So getting Jordan Clarkson for 18 mil a year is a terrible idea? His market worth would be 3 million then in the league? Because you stated that the Jazz overpaid 15 million. Do you mean by 3 years total so 13.3 million a year. I’m blown away by this comment. I thought we stole him from someone else grabbing him.

    But what do I know?! 😂

  5. The Heat arent ready for Dame. The heat would have a nice big 3 that like each other but doubt they are competitive. no real depth with the heat.

    The Jazz can do it and still have depth. Nothing wrong with the Jazz using part of their cap. Ko simone dok secton all on the move…sexton has a long term contract. The others are expiring. Let the nets move some pieces on the deal. They have a 18m tpe and want to move royce. They can absorb nurkic. Send Simmons from nets to blazers and let the nets contribute 2 picks. The jazz like pay two picks for a super. Wow!

    Still have a affordable team. It is not expensive if your ainge and trade the right way!.

  6. Jazz are in a good position either way. They can be very good. On paper this all looks good. If they dont do it then so what. Clarkson is merely get paid because they money to spend. It will be front loaded and very friendly next two years. It will go down which is rare. Smart! You two keep acting like they can keep the money. They have to spend the min or be penalized.

  7. Monty needs to learn math! Clarkson contract is being renegotiated besides extended. It will drop like 40%. It will be front loaded. Rare contract but Jazz doing what turner did with pacers.

  8. The more I listen the more I Laugh. The Jazz have to spend. All teams must spend under the new cba. So they front loaded it and can also trade it and or play JC. They have nothing to lose by paying these guys. I like spending the Jazz money. ainge likes spending it too.

  9. Stupid Monty show
    Dameion Lillard wants to play for Utah!!!
    We need believe Dameion Lillard wants to go to Utah
    And I never heard of Dameion Lillard wants to play for the Miami organization yes he wants to play with Jimmy butler or bam but he doesn’t want to play with the organization

  10. Clarkson
    ~25 this year.
    ~ 15 tbe next two..

    We are still under the tax and used up our cap space to keep him.What other way would you like them to spend our cap space????
    he is also a fan fav….also jazz have to overpay to keep guys) plus we aren't making a major trade this year, so his contract will be valuable in stacking contracts in a future trade. Plus this also makes Sexton expendable in a trade because their roles are basically the same.

  11. If clarkson plays like he did last year he can start at the 2 but during the 2020-21 and 21-22 seasons I watched him shoot us out of way too many games
