Risky offseason trade options for the Utah Jazz that could really pay off Jun 13, 2019

Show notes

The Toronto Raptors and the Utah Jazz have a lot of things in common. They’re both franchises that don’t get the elite free agents in the offseason. To get by they’ve had to make shrewd moves and draft picks to work their way up the standings.

With those picks and marginal trades they both eventually would find themselves hitting a ceiling. The Raptors changed their fortunes when they took a 1-year chance with Kawhi Leonard. So far that has worked wonders for them.

On this episode of the SLC Punks Podcast we look at some possible trades that have huge risk but could also come with huge payoff as well.

Some of the possible trades we talk about are for Mike Conley, Kevin Love and Danillo Gallinari.

Whatever the Jazz do this offseason, you can bet it’s going to raise some eyebrows and, if everything rolls right, maybe the Jazz’s ceiling in the playoffs.

Show notes

On this episode of the SLC Punks podcast we dive into the 2019 NBA Draft and discuss some of the options available including Dylan Windler, Matisse Thybulle, Carsen Edwards and Grant Williams. Who makes the most sense for the Jazz and why?

In the latest installment of “As the Rubio Turns” Ricky Rubio, whether it was in Spanish or Catalan, that he wasn’t the first priority for the Jazz. What does this mean for his future? How does this affect his free agency and is there a chance he comes back?

There’s a log of D’Angelo Russell rumors out there and a lot of them have Utah showing interest. How likely is Russell to come to Utah and how good would he be next to Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert?

Finally, Donovan Mitchell might be with team USA at the FIBA World Championships. Is that a good idea?

Debating whether Rudy Gobert is worth the super max May 24, 2019

Show notes

Rudy Gobert was just named to 3rd Team All NBA and will probably be winning a consecutive defensive player of the year award. This will qualify him for a super max extension when it’s time for a new contract. It’s a lot of money and a huge commitment.

Is it worth it? We discuss that on this episode of SLC Punks.

We also discuss possible free agents, like Tobias Harris and D’Angelo Russell, and how likely they would actually be to sign with the Utah Jazz.
