And a late night Shams bomb.
The Utah Jazz are in serious talks on a deal to send center Derrick Favors to the Oklahoma City Thunder, sources tell me and @Tjonesonthenba.

So the Jazz trade a first round pick to the Thunder simply for the privilege of getting rid of Favors (who I thought was really valuable to them last season). I guess they’re really trying to get Conley back.The likelihood is that OKC will use the $10.1M trade exception that was created in the Danilo Gallinari s/t.

The Jazz owe Memphis a first in: 2022 top 6 protected, 2023 top 3 protected and 2024 top 1 protected.
They are not allowed to trade a first until 2 years after conveyed.

Wonder what the Mavs are getting for him.

Their assets are down to Luka and some pocket lint and they somehow only have 33 million dollars in cap space but I hope that works out for them lol
2022 looking reeeaaaaly bleak for their salary cap:
Trae Young-Max
Kevin Huerter- RFA
John Collins- $25mil? (Assume it's like 5/120 or so)
Gallo- 21.4 mil
Capela- 19.7 mil
Bogi- 18 mil
Maybe they can move Gallinari or Capela as expirings after next season, but man. There's none chance they retain all of Huerter/Hunter/Reddish.

I’d say they can probably keep one of those three, maybe two if they manage to shed some money but at that point, they’re cutting their nose to spite their face.
This kind of makes sense in my head but:
Hunter and Reddish or Huerter for Barnes/Top 10 protected 1st
Barnes is on the same contract timeline as Gallo/Capela and probably improves their 2 year window they're currently on. They still keep one of their young wings and get a solid reset in 2023 with Trae/Collins signed long-term, Bogi on an expiring, Okongwu and an extra 1st from the Kings.
Kings fill the massive 3/4 void they currently have with 2 young wings on the Fox/Hali/Mitchell timeline. As long as you can ship Buddy out, paying Hunter/Reddish doesn't really affect the Kings booksmuch with Hali and Mitchell remaining affordable over the next 3 years.
