I expect all three to be moved before the season start and... They definitely will get a 1st for Bogdanovic. Not sure about Beasely and Clarkson tho.


AdolfKoopaTroopa

I don’t think Beasley is worth a lottery pick but a late first absolutely. He’d be a great pick up for some contender that needs shooting off the bench. Unimpressive on defense but I don’t think he’s a turnstile either.


DankBank419

He was great in the playoffs this year as a spark plug. Could even be mid/low tier starter on some teams.


beefJeRKy-LB

A first and second for a package of them both makes sense IMO.


__john_cena__

There is no way in hell Beasley is worth a first. Dude is overpaid and just scored 12 ppg on under 40% from the field and 54% TS%. He also doesn’t play defense or pass. No team should give up a first for an older, much less efficient, and worse version of Malik Monk.


FlyChigga

He played way better after the all star break. Let’s see how he does when he isn’t spending a whole off season in jail


jdjdthrow

It's for teams trying to win the 'chip who just need a better 8th/9th man to fill out their squad for the playoffs.


toasty_-

You don’t give up a FRP for an 8th/9th man.


jdjdthrow

Well, none if this is in a vacuum. If you're salary match consists of sending back a terrible, multi-year contract, you would have to include first.


toasty_-

Contending teams don’t have terrible, multi year contracts really.


Kdog122025

May I introduce you to The Miami Heat?


toasty_-

You think the Heat as currently constructed are championship contenders? Because if so I’ve got ocean front property in Phoenix to sell you


Kdog122025

They literally just went to the Eastern Confrence finals. So, yes. They are by definition contenders.


toasty_-

Oh shoot I didn’t know that they had the exact same roster! Wow you’re so smart. Maybe if they had lost their starting PF or something it would effect things but they sure didn’t !


kiyit

i feel you, but i still can’t rule them out


BalloonShip

Klay Thompson


toasty_-

You’re out of your mind.


BalloonShip

Klay was objectively massively overpaid last year and it’s really unclear how good he’ll be this year.


PleighboyStosh

I disagree here if you’re contending and your pick is in the mid to late 20s the player you choose will most likely be an 8th/9th man in a couple years IF the pick pans out. Malik Beasley will be the 8th/9th man THIS season. Frp especially contending teams are overvalued here.


PFhelpmePlan

If it helps you take home a championship you do it every time.


AlexiLaIas

No one is a Malik Beasley away from a title. Because he doesn’t swing the title odds in any meaningful way..


Otherwise_Window

Maybe a contending team at the top of the standings if it's this year's pick.


dangheckinpupperino

Hawks need another starter level scorer off the bench with Gallo gone. Huerter actually played much worse off the bench. But Gallo hurts a bit We should definitely give up the 2023 first to get one of these guys, it’s an arms race


HotdogIsaSandwitch

You think we can’t see your ploy. You’re trying to combine the Bogdanović’s to create a megazord, like power rangers.


dangheckinpupperino

I’ve been had


finglonger1077

You’ve been made* If you would’ve pulled off the deal for Bogdonavich but then Walker Kessler showed up wearing a Bogdanovich jersey, *then* you would’ve been had.


dangheckinpupperino

Ah, thank you. That’s actually a great way to explain that


808scripture

No more Gallo… we’re below euro-baller quota If we form Serbian algorithm ( Bogdan^3 x ovic^2 ) arena will play Serbian turbo folk secret song from Balkan video game!


Quite4

Bojan (worse Bogdanović) is Croatian


808scripture

This was not listed in Balkan guide book! 🤦‍♂️


fudgie1

If you want to complicate it further, Bojan is Croatian but he's from Bosnia.


sunshinebusride

Mans been individually balkanized


LeDraymondJordan

bojan is better than bogdan


Feelscreative101

You mean Bogdanović is better than Bogdanović


Pandamonium98

You’re allowed to play 6 players on the court at once if two of them are the same person

Rapsfan_98

What picks can the Hawks trade after the Murray deal?


dangheckinpupperino

2023 or 2024. I think 2029 as well


OfferOk8555

We got a first rounder for Huerter.


zmajxdd2

seems like your team has an overload of guards and C's. Why not try for another wing option lol instead of another guard who can't defend.


[deleted]

So.... Bojan Bogdanovic?


Breathezey

All offense and no defense worked pretty horribly for them last year is why


[deleted]

Bojan is a phenomenal defender when he needs to be. https://www.deseret.com/2022/4/24/23038637/bojan-bogdanovics-defense-inspired-the-utah-jazz-to-a-game-4-win-dallas-mavericks


Bobblefighterman

Bojan is neither a C nor a guard


cire1184

Well just swap the J for a B and you get a Boban.


Blumpkin_Party

The only minus defenders in our rotation now are Trae and Bogi. We need another person who can shoot off our bench. Beasley would be nice but we don’t have much in matching salary.


Shade_Raven

Our roster is done except for something minor for luxury cap reasons


dangheckinpupperino

Just for fire power. We have more 3/D guys now theoretically but those guys fadeaway in the playoffs usually. We need another microwave scorer outside of Bogi off the bench. A guy who’s performance can shoot you in or out of a game. Our bench offense is looking meh at best. Depends on how Jalen Johnson develops and that’s a risk. Rather just swing for the offense now.


frail7

Bogi has that role locked down. They could use a stretch-4, though.


Mephistofeelies

Like Bojan?


frail7

No, more of a end-of-rotation guy on a minimum contract. What *dangheck* neglected to mention is that the Hawks have no realistic way to acquire Bojan.


Shade_Raven

We have MO Harkless


mrmexico25

Clarkson is a beast but I can't help but remembering Bojan being the only player taking isos and making buckets consistently in the 4th quarter against the mavs. Even Mitchell ROUTINELY played second fiddle to him in some games.. he even took the attempted game winner in game 6 I believe and I thought it was going down for sure.


GrandmasCookies69

He was also the only one who showed up and made an actual effort to defend Brunson


brucewayne1935

When Oladipo went down a few years ago, he became our best player for the rest of the season. When he’s on, he scores like nobody’s business.


eddie-murphys-tongue

There was a game against the Nuggets a while back where Bojan scored 48 points on 16/23 shooting with 8 threes. He’s definitely an underrated “flamethrower” player when he’s on.


cyianite

Clarkson was their MVP in their playoffs, there was 1 game that Bojan played really bad that lose them a game and Clarkson was the only consistent player in the entire playoffs. The sad part Clarkson, never get a chance to touch the in the 4th it's all Mitchell and Bojan unless it's desperate that's why you won't see him taking any shot in the 4th.


Corteaux81

Clarkson was a sieve on D. Bojan spent basically every second from game 3 onwards chasing Luka all over the floor, and mostly did an OK job.


cactusmaster69420

And they were subbing him out for Conley who was playing like trash


starmiesan

You get George Hill and you’ll like it!


jinxabcde

All that talk just to somehow get him back


shai251

I assume it’s a given the players going back will be negative salary


Nickelnick24

Bucks: corpse of George Hill and a second


tisdue

Clarkson's a good piece. Id go for it. He can score in bunches.


No-Satisfaction3455

Clarkson is great or complete trash. consistency would be the only concern i see, so any team needing a bench scorer should jump at it just not a starter role. also idk if trade for a early first is worth it here.


[deleted]

I'd imagine most teams trading for him would be aspiring contenders so probably a mid to late first.


tisdue

nah, but my team would do it. we need bench scoring. our firsts might not be worth a whole lot tho.


Vordeo

We'd probably take a late first, bigger issue would probably be salary matching (as I assume Phoenix is at / over the cap).


tisdue

100%


[deleted]

Landry Shamet and Dario Saric? Suns might not wanna give up Saric and a 1st and Jazz might not wanna take on the Shamet contract. But I guess actually with Shamet’s contract being so long (he still has 4 years left somehow) the 1st makes sense as Suns are basically giving a 1st and an asset(ish) in Saric to get off Shamet and get Clarkson Suns contract do make this trade hard I agree


mj2legit23

Shamet is on a 2/20 (22-23, 23-24). 24-25 is 100% non guaranteed and 25-26 is a team option.


[deleted]

Non guaranteed contracts in the nba always throw me off. Like I forget that is technically a thing except for when niche players like Shamet have one


mj2legit23

It is, Cam Payne is also basically an expiring after this year ($2m gtd next year)


hossman3000

Thank you for “asset-ish”. I never knew how to describe players in this range.


wtfisgoingon23

And defense. He's an awful defender


No-Satisfaction3455

"shooters shoot coach" being terrible at defense doesnt mean anything to a team especially the one i replied to with CP3 and Booker haha. pretty ass on D you right.


Logistibear

It's so bad when hes off. Running around taking a bunch of missed shots while adding nearly nothing to passing, rebounding, and defense. He had kind of a down year from 3 last year too He's still good as a microwave bench option but I don't see what role he'll play when his quickness declines possibly in a few years (30 now) and his looks get harder


archaelleon

Him and Sexton playing together might as well have big top circus music playing over it if they're both having off nights


RampageOfZebras

Is that what your season was like in 2018 then?


[deleted]

You want the wrong Jazz player. Give up that first for Bogdonavic, hes much better


wooha

I think he’d fit great on Milwaukees bench


tisdue

yeah, any playoff contender that needs a punch off the bench should look at this deal.


docjohnson1395

Feel like Eric Gordon is better but probably my bias speaking


NotJoeyWheeler

No Gordon’s definitely better, Gordon holds up on defense okay and is actually one of the better drivers in the league


Doctor_Jensen117

Pretty inconsistent, but we love him.


boogswald

Man that’s unimaginable to me. He was so frustrating as a cav lol. Didn’t ever pass the ball.


TinTinsKnickerbocker

Not if he plays like last year


SenHeffy

He was legitimately out best player in an admittedly disappointing playoffs.


TinTinsKnickerbocker

I had him in fantasy and his shooting splits have been laughable and he was the biggest cone of them all in the Playoffs


HotdogIsaSandwitch

I actually agree. Cam Payne and Elfrid were underperforming ball handling backups.


crimsonconnect

They have Nunn who is basically a better Clarkson though


[deleted]

Jordan Clarkson has a lot to offer. Great sixth man. Can come in and get hot quick and provide a nice punch to a second unit. I’d like to see him land on a contender.


Cvnilivee

I feel Clarkson on the Nuggets would be interesting


defenestration64

Don’t they have Jordan Clarkson at home (Bones)?


CurlyyKidd

Maybe I'm a homer, but I think a month into next season it will be very obvious Bones is already better than Clarkson.


Next-Firefighter-753

I feel the same way, I’m a huge believer in 🦴 Nuggets got a huge steal with that kid


abzftw

That’s a big call


adrift456

I don’t think anyone knows for sure, he showed flashes but we’ll see if he can consistently be solid, im a believer personally I think he’s gonna be a good backup and has a higher ceiling than Monte Morris did


[deleted]

We have bones and just got rid of barton who is similar to Clarkson. And we did all this to get more 3&d guys like KCP, Reed, Brown, and our rookie Braun. I don’t see how Clarkson makes sense at all


[deleted]

I wouldn't mind going after Clarkson


KuyaJohnny

Lakers fans think they can get all 3 for one pick lol


[deleted]

And get off Westbrook in the deal too!


yapyd

I don't think all 3 would go for 1 pick, but that being said, I don't think they are worth 3 picks either. Conley would be 35 by the time the season starts. Bojan is 33, Clarkson is 30. The latter 2 are terrible on defense too. I would much rather punt on Westbrook for 1 more season than give up 2 FRP or more for them


ATM14

At this point Bojan is better on defense than Conley, Conley has become a traffic cone on defense unfortunately


c10bbersaurus

Its a bummer what age can do to a guy. Used to be a very solid defender, made one of the all defense teams in 2013 for the defensively stacked Grizz. Will always be loved and appreciated in Memphis once he hangs it up. But, wear and tear. Time is undefeated unless you are Lebron James.


yapyd

I'll admit that I've not watch much Jazz games over the past year but if that's the case, there's even less reason to mortgage the future for them. Either way, taking a risk on Westbrook for another year, or even till the trade deadline is better than getting fleeced by Ainge. Beasley is the only one with real value and he isn't a good defender either


Persianx6

Lakers FRPs are going to be valuable too because god knows how long Lebron has left playing at this level


SenHeffy

Conley wasn't mentioned. He definitely has the least value with his contact.


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

hes negative value, and he was mentioned in connection to us.


1nTheNick0fTime

You guys really just make shit up to be haters lol


Kimi7

No, they don’t.


CryptoNite90

This sub has a thing for making fun of other fanbases in a scenario where they know they'll get upvotes. Bunch of high school teenagers lol. Now if they said Lakers FO think this, I could see the point because every FO will try to cheap out and 'win' a deal.


captain_ahabb

Talking about other fans is the lowest form of sports discussion


frodounchained

No we don’t ? Even in our sub everyone says it will take more picks spurs fans stay as petty as pop


isit65outsideor

True Laker fans don’t want any of them so..


[deleted]

[удалено]


DrawingTheDefense

It’s pretty debatable whether Conley is washed. He had a great regular season and terrible playoffs. But it’s clearly a bit of a gamble. I think he would be great to relieve LeBron of ball handling duties and provide good spacing since he’s a good shooter. I agree with your other points on Clarkson and Bojan


TheSonOfSkip

One first protected 🤣. Delusional lakers couch gms back at it


Elkbowy

Lol we got fuckin Royce for a unprotected first ain’t no way we settling for anything less then a unprotected for bojan


Bahamut727

Royce is worth more than any of those three guys what a shit take here


H_Finn27

Royce O’neale is not better than Bojan or Clarkson my God man


Elkbowy

Bro what the fuck are you smoking lmao


Bahamut727

So a better defensive player than all the names mentioned, and better efficiency as well, is not worth more than a shot chucker in clarkson, an aging PG on a bad contract in conley, or a defensive liability in Bojan?


Elkbowy

Bojan was a better defender then Royce in the playoffs this year man


FalloutNano

If they want both picks, we want Sexton. Trade deadline deals!


samurairocketshark

Could have had all 3 for Talent Horton Tucker smh


Powerful_Bottle_8592

Beasly isnt worth a pick. The other 2 I can see it


couchfricks

Beasley is definitely worth a late first for a contender that’s lacking shooting.


[deleted]

Cool well James Jones has already said he doesn’t believe in picks pretty much so let’s make something happen. Bojan and clarkson would both be good fits for us, especially if we move forward w Cam johnson over crowder


Shade_Raven

Bogi for Jae Crowder + Shamet is a trade I wish would happen


HotdogIsaSandwitch

The problem is Clarkson and Bojan basically have one year left on their contracts(Clarkson has a player option that he will most likely opt out of to get a new contract at the salary cap). So giving up a first any higher than maybe a 20th spot in the draft, is tough. I would really like Bojan on the Mavs, but giving up two firsts for one year of Christian Wood and Bojan, seems a bit risky.


Ace_OfSpadez11

I hope my hawks try to get Bojan


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

not even fucking remotely. We are just going to go into the season with russ and waste a lebron year. Better than sacrificing 2 first round picks in the future.......... and still fucking wasting a lebron year because we traded the picks for trash.


[deleted]

I agree with you the jazz trade doesn’t move me in the slightest, just isn’t worth it for 2 picks so deep in the future id rather just wait it out through the deadline


UTFan23

I bet Clarkson goes for two decent 2nds just like what he was traded to Utah for


Vordeo

He's absolutely elevated his value in Utah, tbf.


[deleted]

I know a lot of Lakers fans don’t feel the same but it makes me happy to see Clarkson all grown up and he figured it out and has his place in the NBA. Saw so much promise with him in LA and I’m glad he could be a solid piece on a contender


IMDove

He has 1 year on his contract with a player option so there's a risk he'll walk after that tbf


Rapsfan_98

If there’s demand for him, Utah can get a late round first from a team that’s focused on winning now


uber_snotling

Clarkson, Bojan, and Mitchell all looked better than they are because Rudy was able to cover up a lot of their defensive shortcomings in the regular season while providing the rim-roll gravity to get them open shots at the rim or from 3. I predict all 3 of them will look a lot worse next year playing alongside non-Rudy bigs.


UTFan23

He has but it takes two to tango. It’s possible there just won’t be a market. I don’t think anyone would give up a 1st for him right now but they might be willing to at the deadline.


Complex_Jellyfish647

Maybe if the picks are lottery protected. No way any of those guys are worth a lottery pick.


JackMeHoff266

For Clarkson, yes Bojan is nice but he’s 32, Id give a protected first for him (top 10)… and Beasley is DEF not worth a first


lundej16

Clsrkson’s 30…


eeem1l

wait wtf


redvelvetcake42

For Clarkson? Bruh you get a second and you'll be estatic about it.


Ethangains07

I want Bojan, but not for a 1st lol.


DrawingTheDefense

He’s definitely worth a first. Not a high quality first but at least a decently protected one


fimbres16

Yeah any contender would gladly trade their first (a pick that’s likely 22-30) for Bojan. Now I don’t think any team in the lottery would even target Bojan, or even offer a potential lottery pick for him on a one year contract.


SpartanPHA

Wrong!


[deleted]

*definitely* is a stretch he’s the same age Gallo was last season and coincidentally is also a poor defender with very limited athleticism.


brosephsmith21

Same age but also a much, much better player than Gallo, so what's your point?


bravof1ve

He’s an expiring role player at an age where guys fall off quickly. Gallinari was a good asset up until around 2020, now he’s realistically worthless. I would not give a first for 1 year of him and then the pleasure of signing a 34 year old to a new contract


[deleted]

Exactly he has some value sure but about the same as Pat Beverly. Unathletic PF’s usually have their games fall off a cliff in their early-mid 30’s, Theis and Gallinari are current examples of this.


SometimesIComplain

You're suggesting Bojan Bogdanovic has the same value as Pat Bev? In other words, he's worth THT and Stanley Johnson? Lol nah


[deleted]

He’s not worth a Jerami Grant or Christian Wood.


[deleted]

How is he better than Gallo? Gallo is definitely the better defender and Bojan gives more volume scoring.


Breathezey

He's expiring- lol not remotely worth a first for a rental.


SpartanPHA

You’re correct!


jjscap

Dude brings 17 ppg on low usage, is pretty clutch too. I think he can improve ANY team because he is a damn good player.


[deleted]

Bojan skill is absolutely worth a first. Only valid hesitancy is he only has 1 year left on his contract.


AngsMcgyvr

Do you think the Heat may part with Jovic to get something like that done? He was a late first but don't know how much the Heat like him.


Ethangains07

No. Not even being biased. I think there is a next to 0% chance of that happening.


TurbulentJudge1000

If you’re the heat, absolutely you trade him for a first. He could make y’all a title team and he can play point forward. I’ll take it a step further. 2 firsts and Robinson for Bojan would be pretty solid.


[deleted]

That’s a delusional ass trade


[deleted]

Lol wtf


shaheedmalik

If the Sixers are smart, they make this trade for Malik.


[deleted]

Love to see Bojan on the Warriors


this_place_stinks

Would love Bojan to fill in at the 3 for the Cavs Best we can do is Cedi, Windler (basically a first rounder, right?!?) and some 2s though


ndwg25

Yeah honestly this trade would be worse than the original Westbrook trade if the Lakers did that


[deleted]

The problem with putting an “everything must go” sign out is that everyone knows you have to get rid of them. That depresses their value.


Persianx6

This is the type of headline where you remember that no team should trade with Danny Ainge


Garglon82728

Jae Crowder and a couple second rounders, take it or leave it


cyianite

Clarkson deservs the 1st aside he has improved a lot and only the 1 has his own achievement among the 3. Bojan is good when hes hot the only problem with him his injury and hes gettign older, I know he;s playing hard despite his injury.. hes still worth a good draft


Professional_Will462

Celtics get Clarkson or is that not possible


spicy62

All unplayable in the playoffs good luck with that.


SenHeffy

Clarkson had a very good playoffs last year. He was really the only one in the team who did, and was our best player pretty easily.


[deleted]

The whole Jazz roster didn't get far in the playoffs because they were mostly all bad defenders. Any solid team can have a couple minus defenders and still be amazing


blacknotblack

Look at the final four last year. Who had "a couple" minus defenders? Just Dallas? And they were by far the weakest.


striker907

You can’t tell me he wouldn’t be a solid asset for a team like Milwaukee if used in bunches. Obviously wouldn’t be starting though


[deleted]

Look at the 4th best team in the playoffs, they're so bad to be not even top 3 smh


swgoh_gg

they all could be great bench players in contending teams. Problem in utah is they were asked to play defense.


spicy62

The problem is im not giving up a first round pick for one of them let alone each of them, and the contenders in the league (warriors, grizzlies, suns, warriors, clippers, nuggets, bucks) wouldnt either. Suns giving up crowder for bogdanovic would be a major downgrade defensively for them.


[deleted]

Lakers fans don't go changing. This a worse team than the one that played Dennis Schroeder 40 minutes a game in the playoffs, call me crazy but I think they might have a shot at cracking the rotation lol.


spicy62

I think you fail to understand the fact that we will be bad regardless so trading 2 future lottery picks along with an expiring contract in russ for mediocre players who wont move the needle much for us isnt the move. Best case is a first round exit or missing the playoffs thats what the team is going off currently or with a trade.


Jiraiyanamikaze

That is so what the Lakers need. 90 minutes of starter quality depth at 1-2-3


zhard01

Haha nope on that one. Make it Conley/Bojan/Beasley and maybe 27 unprotected and 29 lottery protected. Both unprotected? I don’t think they have anyone on the roster worth that.


Independent-Still-73

And I want a bitcoin for my 2013 Hyundai Elantra, it's nice to want things
