The Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers have had discussions to send Paul George and the 3rd pick to Utah in exchange for Utah 5th pick

[KingsnBucs1987]

Why would Utah do this? Do they think Paul George is gonna bounce back at 35? This trade makes no sense for them.

I guess get the player at 3 they want and just hold PGs contract to be a big ass trade chip down the road since no FAs are going there.

but then why would Charlotte be swayed by it? They drafted a dude who was initially clouded in a murder investigation. Ace just likes to take dumb shots on bad teams.

 

[MJ Truth]

if he hadn't scoffed at Haliburton and picks for Ben Simmons he'd be in the Finals his damn self

They wouldn’t be in any damn finals with Haliburton, unless he had some magic pill that was going to cure Embiid.

 

[Cladyclad]

I don’t remember this much transactional talk ever during the finals.

shyt need to be paused til after for Christ sake

Looks like they're panicking. The #3 pick comes with PG. If they tank again and don't get AJ Dybantsa it's going to get ugly in Utah for the Jazz. And lets be frank, if Bybansta looks legit and could be "that guy", the league isn't going to have him play in Utah period. Get that #3 pick and hope he's(Ace, VJ, Tre, etc) legit, tank for Bybansta, but if you don't get the 1st or 2nd pick you still can sell the #3 pick, PG, Keyonte, etc. to the fanbase and try to win some games.

Don’t the Thunder own the Jazz 2026 pick?

I'm a play devil's advocate here. I think they should just run it back. You already invested in PG13. At least see how the 3 of them work together with a full training camp and season. I know the contract is overpaid. But having George as a 3rd option should work. Now I make this trade only if I know Embiid is done and won't be healthy again or I can get a quality and cheaper replacement starting at the 3 spot.

They're listening

[pete clemenza]

George Paul picked the clippers over the set

He got traded to the Clipps. How come he didn't go to the Lakers?

 

[Recca Gatsby]

I was wondering if this gives any merit to this rumor

 

[Diondon]
