Jazz to confirm


As I’ve explained, having Brunson allows me to deal Garland for some Center help. Also clears some cap and add a future asset. Thanks Jon for an easy back and forth here.

[Utah Jazz (Jonathan)]

Accept! Got a really strong feeling that Donovan won’t resign giving Garland more run next year. Not sure how much more of a leap Claxton can take so trying to sell high on him. Good dealings!

[New York Knicks (jsood)]

Approve. Could go either way, but I think I like the upside swing from Jazz. Cavs getting a potentially solid 2027 1st could be the swing factor though. Kelly olynyk seems like a throw in but dude churns out solid fantasy seasons regularly so could bring Jazz even more value. Nice deal guys.

[Dallas Mavs (Kyle)]

Garland is a bit overpaid right now, but I see the vision with the impending Spida FA. Clax seems maxed out but is a steal on that contract and that first is nice. Think Kelly O could be an x-factor here, Raptors love that dude. Approve.

[Orlando Magic GM (Sarge)]

Challenging one for me to assess fully right now. I think I’d rather have garland over Clax especially with the Spida situation but clax is on the better contract and that 2027 Jazz first could be juicy. Slight win for cavs imo.

Good deal either way! Approve.
