Jazz why would they do this trade in the first place ————————————————————————————- This is a hypothetical gm move only taking place if they still want to immediately contend after trading Mitchell. Otherwise they would be trading Rudy Gobert instead which i have a mock on as well. ———————————————————————— Trade Details: Jazz recieve Derrick Rose Imanuel Quickley, Julius randle, unprotected first 2022 top 5 protected 2023 —————————————————————————— The main problem with the Jazz is that they dont have enough consistent primary scorers. Besides Donovan Mitchell and Jordan Clarkson everyone else is just a catch and shoot. (Bodgonovic is still a good player just cant create his own shot). Their backup guards are extremely young and lack a ton of expertise. Imanuel immediately fixes their SG hole after trading away Mitchell as he is an Electric scorer and spark plug. I feel like he could have a tyrese maxey type breakout in the right situation that addesses his weaknesses (defense) on a team like the Jazz. He has star potential imo and could breakout at any moment. Derrick rose Provides that veteran experience off the bench and can be a serviceable guard duo with conley since they both help each other’s weaknesses (Rose’s 3 point shooting, defense, Conleys’s finishing, scoring) which will be crucial to keeping this team a float when the game starts and when the bench comes in. Julius Randle is only 1 season away from an allstar year with the Jazz’s spacing around him he is going to be deadly. From facilitating into the paint.(Jazz’s main weakness) and being able to kick it out to all the shooters around him. The depth on this team would be insane with all players on this bench and the starters being above average players with some having the potential to be stars. Rotation PG Mike Conley/ Drose SG IQ/ Jordon Clarkson SF Bodgon Bogdonvic/ Royce Oneal PF Julius Randle/ Eric Paschall C Rudy Gobert/ Hassan Whiteside ———————————————————————— ——Why do the Knicks do this? The knicks are struggling again and are falling again in the rankings as the teams around them are getting better and the knicks are getting older. The knicks need to focus on getting more young talent around RJ Cam and Robinson. This team would turn itself around and would get even better as time goes on. The knicks would be a high value destination in FA if they had consistent stars but now they would have two of the youngest stars in the league and would become contenders possibly in the next year or two. It would such an exciting team to watch to be honest. And mitchell would fit perfectly in Tibbs system ———————————————————————— Starting Rotation PG Donovan Mitchell SG RJ Barett SF Cam PF Juancho C Mitchell Robinson
