Should Dennis Lindsey Get a Championship Ring?

It was a reasonable trade to make. I will be cheering for the Warriors to have an unprecedented meltdown next season. First to worst!
 
They only won because Love and Irving went down. Take away Thompson and Green GS would have been slaughtered. We saw the best player maybe ever show that basketball is a team sport and he lost a big part of his team. LeBron almost averaged a triple double!
 
Even if the Warriors are great next year I'm okay. DL is absolute MONEY on those draft picks in the 20's.
 
The reason they got Iguodala wasn't the Richard Jefferson deal -- it was the deal where we included Foye as a sign-and-trade to pick up a second round pick, which wasn't originally part of the deal if I remember correctly. The fact that we helped a team that screwed us so hard, especially when we owned their picks and needed them to suck, didn't really justify picking up a second rounder as we had a plethora.
 
Trading Foye allowed Denver to convert it into a S&T. Had the Jazz held firm, then GSW have to sign him with cap space outright. Their cap would have been harder to manage (because they'd have lost their exceptions) and Denver wouldn't have been able to get a trade exception out of the deal. Ultimately, Utah did a solid for Denver and Denver did a solid for GSW. . . which really wouldn't have mattered much.

The playoffs are all about 8 man rotations. The Warriors were healthy. The Cavs were not. Add Irving and Love to the Cavs lineup and it's a totally different series. Just watching the dynamics unfold makes me think that the Jazz need to get two more players. That should be the focus This offseason and see where that puts them.

I'd roll with Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Hood, Burks and Exum. Booker and Jingles make for decent injury protection or spot minutes. . . but the Jazz need another high level big man (either position) and either a wing or a guard. If it's a wing, Burks gets PG minutes - if it's a guard, he gets wing minutes. That's your top 8. That's your playoff rotation. You need the whole bench to get you there healthy, but once you're in. . . it's about who has the best top 8 guys.
 
I knew this thread would pop up... so appropriate that Cy started it.

Okay let's go back and undo the past... great now GS has Hood and Cleveland won the championship... u happy now?

I understand the butterfly effect changes things a bit, but really that trade turned out pretty well for us and we haven't even used the other pick yet. Those of you saying we shouldn't have helped another team out are likely not business majors. We helped someone out and gained because of it... guess what? Now we have a good relationship with another GM... maybe its goodwill like that that allows us to maybe pull off other deals like when we got Gobert. I know the order of how things happened, but if we were constantly dicks and not doing reasonable things to help others out we likely don't get those other types of deals done.

We have to look out for ourselves... and sometimes that requires helping others out.

Dude, it was just meant to be a funny thread. I don't care who wins it, and I don't blame anyone for the trade. Just thought it was a funny tidbit that we helped get the Finals MVP. They lose without Igoudala's defense on Lebron.
