Jazz Receive: PG Isaiah Thomas, $6.3m (2018)
Lakers Receive:UTA 2018 2nd Round Pick
UTA 2019 2nd Round Pick
confirms the deal.
Was trying my hardest to get a 1st rounder out of IT, but wasn't happening.
With the makeup of this roster, it's probably the best to go the rebuild route with the 4 young core players I have under contract for at least 2 seasons.
The 2nd rounders may or may not pan out, with my shoddy drafting skills due to lack of knowledge of basketball, other than what I read on Google. But I'll take the chance on picks and youth. I do like IT a lot and feel like he'll bounce back after getting screwed last year by BOS and CLE, but he's not in our roster plans.
Thanks for the trade talks and the deal Geoff
