Last year, I was hoping the Jazz would put up some cash to outbid Miami for Joe Johnson. I'd be fine with any of DWill, Bogut or Jones, but I don't want them going to stupid lengths to get it done.

What's wrong with you? Today is the trade deadline. No room for reasonable posting. Save that stuff for after we win a couple games and the sky stops falling.
 
What player dealt at the deadline could have helped the Jazz so much that you are bitching about? I'm surprised at the salt towards the FO right. I wanted Dwill, but that was more just my nostalgia for him. I think the FO did the smart thing. We got to learn what we have in Exum, Burks, and Lyles.

Deron Williams, interestingly enough, is represented by Jeff Schwartz -- the same agent that Kevin Love, Kyle Korver and Richard Jefferson employ. It could take some maneuvering on his part to make sure no other teams put in a waiver bid on Williams if his client's intention is to end up in Cleveland.

You aware the CBA expanded roster sizes, right?

Yes sir I do know that... did you know most of those deals will go to the Ellijah Millsap's and Marcus Paige's of the world because the two way salary is still much lower than what guys can get overseas?

Not that I am sure we could get one of them, Lou and Ersan would definitely help. Deron could as well but it seems no-one bit Dallas' bluff. Taj maybe.

No, I think you are wrong. There isn't that much money overseas (unless you are a guy like Jimmer who is very sought after) and Americans will prefer to play in an improved D-League that pays better and is becoming increasingly integrated to individual NBA teams.

Illyasova or Tucker would have been nice and the cost was fine.

Would show us what using a true stretch four looks like next to Gobert... We are basically amazing with JJ at the 4. Would love to see Diaw or Lyles minutes go to one of those guys.

It's more of an overall frustration at our cap management... if no move (extension for Hill, waiver wire pickup, adding a key piece through trade) it shows that we have not managed that asset well or are just cheap asses... take your pick? Either we can't read the tea leaves or aren't willing to invest at more than a minimum level.

Lou required a first round pick. I feel better keeping the pick. I loved the idea of Lou, he would have been fun. Go look at his playoff stats though. He sucks in the playoffs and is one of the league's worst defenders. No guarantee he really improves our team that much. Is it worth wasting a 1st rounder to give him minutes over Burks/Exum (yes, both of them would lose some minutes to him)? I would have been fine with either choice TBH, I see the positive/negatives of both. Not going to bitch about it either way. I like the draft coming up. Go look at Jonathan Motley highlights, it will cheer you up.

And the Ersan trade would have been nice, but I think Philly/Atlanta had previous traded picks and they were able to better some of those picks through the trade that they had previously dealt to Atlanta? Not entirely sure on those details.

I like that the Jazz committed to the players we have on our roster. It will be fun watching our team compete and not some rentals who are going to be gone in a half year or 1.5 years.

you are one of my favorite posters, but you have a truly awful way of acknowledging posters who disagree with your perspective. It's right up there with Cy.

Several agents are poo-pooing the 2-way deals. They get like 75K when they are in the d league and are only eligible to be called up by one team... a 10-day contract pays a minimum of 50k... Basically any good prospect is likely not going to want to be on a 2-way deal because the increase salary is not enough.

It will piss agents off (which is our number one concern I guess) to put a good second round pick on one of those deals.
