Blazers trade Winslow, Keon Johnson, and 1-2 second round picks

Jazz trade Vanderbilt

Saw this a few times around Twitter. Seems reasonable.

Seems reasonable until you realize Danny Ainge is sitting on the other side of the table.

Eh, I don’t see Ainge as a god like so many. He doesn’t steal in every trade he makes.

Portland and Utah made a reasonable trade last year.

Think most teams in the league would painlessly beat that offer.

If Utah goes in full rebuild, I don't think Winslow or Johnson would interest them all that much. I a couple of 2nd round picks probably hold the same amount of interest.

Why wouldn’t a guy on a rookie deal that was a first round pick not of interest for a tanking team? That’s literally exactly what you’re looking to stockpile.

Are teams really easily beating a rookie deal and two seconds for an 8 and 8 bench big? Has the league gone this crazy? Or am I undervaluing Vanderbilt?

@Carl especially considering the earliest 2nds Portland can trade is a 2024 and a 2027.
