And think of how much Unreal taught our players on how to properly shoot. Honestly probably the only reason he was ever brought over. Player shooting coach.

Kanter deal was great. We had no intent to give him a long-term deal, he did not fit our philosphophy and was disgruntled, so we gave up nothing, got more developmental playing time for Gobert, and possibly got a future first round pick next year.

Free agents walk for nothing all the time, which was our next best alternative to this deal.

The mistake was drafting Kanter, (or one could argue not developing him properly) not how we managed damage control.

Except that the Jazz went out of their way to take back the platter of garbage they got instead of Reggie Jackson.

The Jazz bungled just about every conceivable thing you can think of with the Nets pick they got in 2011. Totally and completely biffed it. This would be a pretty damn fine punchline if we still weren't eagerly waiting for the last asset in the trade to turn into two 2nds which will likely also amount to nothing.

That trade back was an extremely rare situation. I doubt a similar trade has ever involved that much money. Just because DL got an incredible deal on that does not mean that second round picks are now worth millions.

2nd round picks have been worth millions for a while. Getting three million in a late second-round pick swap seems insane even to me, but it also speaks to the market. A pick isn't changing hands for anything less than a million if we're talking strictly money and no other assets.
 
Either this move facilitates a basketball move (like a renegotiation/extension) or the Jazz just pissed some assets away for... I'm still not sure what since those seconds' cash value is worth more than Pleiss' salary owed. Considering that, and that I don't think the FO are complete idiots, it would seem there is something else in the works.

But to be clear, I am not terribly disappointed that the Jazz will have two fewer second rounders on the team since there is a very slim chance any such draftee would even get a shot. But that's not all you can do with picks (as evidenced by this deal).

I really hope something else comes of this.

So we agree? My point was that all the cash DL got for that pick does not mean that 2nd round picks are worth $3 million plus a piece (despite the fact that we effectively got a lot more than $3 million for that pick because it was a swap).

You just said that 2nd round picks aren't worth millions, so I said they are (because they are). But yeah, by changing the parameters of your statement, we agree.
