Wolves beat Jazz 143-118. That game was, uh, certainly impacted by the earlier trade.
Sexton led Jazz with 22 points. Ant Edwards had 31, Nowell had a season-high 30. Worst Jazz defensive performance of the season, obviously.
They head to Toronto tomorrow next. – 11:08 PM

FINAL: Wolves 143, Jazz 118. Dispirited Jazz put up no resistance agaibnst an equally short-handed Minny team. Markkanen 21p/5r. Sexton 22p/5r/5a. Kessler 16p/9r. Olynyk 14p/8r. THT 13p/5a. Wolves go 23-43 beyond the arc.

D-Lo meanwhile is a solid upgrade in the backcourt for an otherwise unplayable group.
For the Jazz, it’s mostly a cost-saving effort to create more flexibility, and comes with a high-risk first round pick.
It’s not awesome, but it serves a definite purpose. – 10:55 PM

The Lakers meanwhile add a high-volume three-point shooter to the fifth-worst three-point shooting roster in the league, and get rid of Westbrook’s poor percentages.
Vando will also give them more rebound-and-go opportunities which will create easy offense. – 10:53 PM

MIN could have entered the offseason with $15M of cap space (max of $23M) but by acquiring Conley who has $14.3M GTD of his $24.4M next year, they’re committed to operating over the cap this summer.
UTA will likely buyout Russ and continue the firesale with Olynyk & Clarkson. – 9:44 PM

That trade feels like Minnesota and Utah got together and were like, “How can we collude to throw the Lakers a life raft?”
Don’t like that deal for either of them.
I guess it’s fine for the Jazz, but nothing I’d be thrilled about. – 9:42 PM

So basically Ainge fleeced the Wolves so badly in the Gobert deal that he decided he was perfectly fine giving away Bojan, Conley, Vanderbilt and Beasley for a grand total of a single protected 2027 first rounder, Kelly Olynyk, and the right to buyout Russ? – 9:42 PM

I think that it’s worth saying, very plainly, that having a lightly protected 2027 pick is most valuable prior to 2027, which is when the Jazz would be looking to make big moves. You do not look at draft assets purely as the pick they could become for your team. – 9:30 PM

They obviously didn’t get the same value back that they got for Gobert or Mitchell, but you added another very valuable draft pick which allows you potentially skip a rebuilding year and get a top 10 pick.

All along the Jazz have said that any deal would be made based on future value and not swayed by current successes.
I think that many people thought Vando and Beasley had higher value than they actually did. The Jazz didn’t want them and they weren’t gonna get back draft capital – 8:35 PM

Trade Guide: Lakers
One approach that should not be dismissed is the Lakers taking the Westbrook expiring contract and targeting players with contracts that extend past this season.
Under contract > cap space – 5:38 PM

Trade guide: Minnesota
Rather than waiting until the offseason, Minnesota could use Russell’s current salary to trade for a starting point guard who is under contract through the 2023-24 season (bypassing the option to get under the cap this summer). – 5:35 PM

On a more serious note, appears Jazz would have to include at least two players besides Conley ($22.6M) in order to take back Westbrook’s $47M – 5:33 PM

ESPN Sources: Three-team trade is largely hinging on how Minnesota values D’Angelo Russell in potential deal and their return of draft assets. Lakers and Jazz have significant deal structure in place, but Minnesota has been engaged elsewhere on Russell too. – 5:27 PM

If Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt are involved in the trade they’d have to go to the @lakers in the rumored deal.
The @UtahJazz acquired the two players from the @Minnesota Timberwolves over the summer and Minnesota can’t reacquire them until next season. – 4:10 PM

One big beneficiary of the three-team trade being discussed that would send Mike Conley Jr. to Minnesota: Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. They developed a good chemistry in Utah, where they were paired in the sub patterns. – 4:08 PM

The ideal Russell Westbrook buyout destination would have…
– Great shooting to maximize his drives.
– A coach with the cache to get him to buy into a smaller role (10-15 mins).
– Deep defensive roster since he doesn’t really guard anyone.
To me, that sounds like the Clippers. – 4:02 PM

Mike Conley contract
22-23: $22.7M
23-24: $24.4M ($14.3M guaranteed)
D’Angelo Russell contract
22-23: $31.3M
So there is that $8.6M gap in salaries for this season that will also be a factor in the final deal. – 3:57 PM

I guess acquiring D’Angelo Russell is an immediate upgrade for the Lakers and gives them flexiiblity moving forward.
Lakers also getting Beasley and Vanderbilt make sense too.
Very interesting trade if it ends up going through. More so pending the picks going to Utah! – 3:54 PM
