The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

I know I’m a DLo stan.

But any team trading a guy who is averaging .49/.41/.88 over the last 41 games at 19&6 for a 35 year old PG averaging 10&7

Is an entirely unserious franchise
Especially with KAT out for however long he is.
 
Without seeing the draft picks, the trade really doesn't make sense for anyone outside of the Lakers.

Makes sense for the Jazz.

They’re freeing up $47M in cap this Summer.

That’s the great thing about Russ’ contract right now.

Can see it for Utah. They get picks.

They don’t need Conley and his returns only get worse. Beasley not a long term piece and Vando probably isn’t either.
 
Minnesota is doing this because they don't want to marry themselves to a D'Lo contract and it could save enough money to re-sign Naz (why would he re-sign though?).

Probably.

If I’m Naz, I wouldn’t. My ceiling is capped in Minny and I can get the same salary elsewhere.

At the very least he’ll get the full MLE from some team with far more playing time.
