The Jazz, who completed the Mitchell trade some time ago, have held 15 first-round draft picks, tied for the first place in the league with the Thunder.
However, the Jazz management still has no intention of stopping, but to continue to clean up the team's immediate combat strength and maximize the exchange of future assets of other teams.
Earlier, Jazz reporter Tony Jones reported on the Lakers' trading dynamics about Westbrook. According to sources, the Jazz and Lakers are in talks over Westbrook's transfer and draft picks. The deal with the Jazz has made progress, but there is still some work to be done to complete the deal, but more people are increasingly confident that the two sides are reaching a deal, saying: "Danny [Angie] wants more draft picks. Subsequently, TA Jazz reporter Tony Jones also commented on the Lakers' trade rumors with the Jazz, and a Lakers fan asked under the report: "Do you know who the Lakers will get in a theoretical trade?" Tony Jones replied: "I know, but my current position doesn't allow me to share. They will only get multiple players. ”
After the team's core Gobert Mitchell was sent out on a trade, the Jazz had a number of players in the team, such as Conley, Clarkson and Bojan, who were potential deals.
For the Lakers, it is no secret that they want to send Wei Shao away, but Wei Shao's large contract of 47 million yuan also makes it difficult for him to be traded. The Jazz, which is now preparing to rebuild, may be the party that can make the best deal with the Lakers.
Currently, conley and Clarkson have two years left on their contracts. Westbrook's $47 million expiring contract is the jazz's best option to free up salary space. The Lakers also hope to get more direct combat power from the Jazz and strive to upgrade the lineup next season and win the championship again.
