I’ll add that it’s been all around. Besides the Bridges trade… Klay signing with the Mavs has been the next most exciting thing? Now with JC, John Collins, Lauri, KD (s&t?), Walker all having rumors swirling… I just want something to happen.

I get it – but I can’t help but think the ‘non-moves’ are probably the right moves for the Jazz. A top 10 protected pick this year in what seems to be a really important draft to pick high in and also having 6 rookies + sophomores on the team… it’s got to be a developmental year for us.
Since we are winding down in available FA’s and teams don’t have much cap space anymore, Jazz may have an opportunity to use their available cap space to get more assets which may be the right move. I’m thinking about teams that may want to sign Derozan, they can send Jazz a pick for clearing the way.
I also think all the trade chat has been (understandably) surrounding Lauri but I think Clarkson is somebody who is very likely to be on the move. Contending teams can always use a little scoring punch off the bench and his deal is actually very team friendly now for that type of player.

Feels like they’re just trying to maximize their trade returns for Lauri, Kessler, Sexton, and Clarkson before trading all of them away

Sadly it looks like Lauri is being traded and right now might be a Warrior. GSW #1 target.

If Lauri is indeed being moved too GSW, Ainge is trying to make sure he gets atleast Kuminga out of that deal. It may be a multi team trade to move off of JC and Sexton as well

It does take two to tango. The player has to want to come here as well and why would most of these veteran free agents want to come to a rebuilding team. As far as trades again it takes another team to want to deal to. It’s said the Jazz were trying for Bridges so in a way it’s not for the lack of trying.

Be careful with posting this meme, the last time it was posted the team got sold the next day.

I think that Ainge literally does not have anything that he can move and get a solid return.
