Boston does this trade to get Rudy Gobert. Utah will want a premium for Gobert especially dealing with Boston for the tampering they did to get Hayward. Rudy resigns because Boston can compete and offer the most. Pay doesn’t kick in until Hayward is off the books.

DET is doing a salary dump to save money while they accept their rebuild. Outing Conley with Christian Wood for development with who ever they choose to draft and offloading Blake’s contract.

Utah gets Blake to add size to the Roster. This also allows them to move Donovan to PG and keep some length to make up for the loss of Rudy.
