General NBA Craziness and How it Applies to Utah

WHY? Hill has little leverage right now unless Hayward says he wants Hill back, Hill's agent was dreaming when he was talking about Hill getting a big payday. If Hill hadn't gotten hurt he would most likely get a substantial raise but now the Jazz will let the market determine his price and right now the market seems to have dropped for his services.

First off, Hill was playing at an all-star level to start off the season, so his agent wasn't dreaming. Had he not been injured and continued playing the way he was, he certainly could have been looking at a big deal with an extra year. That extra year is a big deal. Secondly, as I've already explained, I don't believe it was just a money issue, and that he wanted some control over possibly playing for a contender.

Like I said, if Hayward is still a question mark and you have a chance to sign Hill, you don't start trying to get cute with negotiations. If Hayward re-signs and suddenly nobody is offering anything for Hill, that's a different story. The problem with that theory is that Hill is not purely a PG. He's a good 2-way player that can play either guard spot.

Anyway, I'm tired of this debate. I'm more than happy to wait and see what happens.

A rebuilding team would take Deng plus 27, 28, randle, nance jr to rid them of the deal. Sacramento, maybe Atlanta now... someone will do it. Hell maybe call up Brooklyn again... that's a good enough haul to get it done:

Then Indy cant get George. And those teams would not do that probably. $23 million for Randle and Deng? C'mon.

Good explanation as to why LA has to dump Deng. To afford both LBJ and George in that pipe dream scenario in 2018, Deng has to go. The only trade chip LA has to dump Deng is Ingram. DL should work this out.

But they have a year to work out the best deal and dealing Ingram right now makes very little sense unless you get something really really good in exchange.

No its randle, nance, 27, 28 and Deng. They will wait on PG if Indiana won't bite on their lowball package. Bobby marks said stretching deng gets them there if they don't bring back randle. I trust him. They aren't forced to deal Ingram here and I don't see them doing it... it's not a bad idea... maybe magic doesn't know what he's doing yet.
 
I'm going to be annoyed if quality players are available and Lindsey sits on his hands and does nothing yet again.
Last year he got Johnson and Diaw, for what Dennis usually does it was very good for him. If that was compared to other teams it'd be considered very meh.

Are you for real?

Traded for George Hill and Diaw and signed JJ. That's the best offseason in the league last year, other than Durant to the dubs.
