He went for a second round pick. On a shortish contract.
Could have dumped Boris and possible made another move with them that helps both teams.
Gallo had world class ts% last season of over 62%. Do you know how many high volume, non-cleanup players reach that? Very few.
Utah has essentially entered the next chapter of wait and see mode, hoping someone else breaks out before Rudy becomes an unrestricted FA. They will hoard more money this season in typical fashion, prey that Donovan or one of the other rookies pan out, write off Derrick Favors next summer or sign him to a cheap deal with their $50 million cap space, let JJ walk, try to trade Dante's qualifying offer, and hope Hood, Favors, and Burks can stay healthy enough to squeeze any value out of them.
I still have hope for two of the last 3 FWIW, but I'm afraid Favors and Exum are damaged goods, Burks has never shown much starter potential and Hood is injury prone as much as Faves.
I don't know whether to cross my fingers and pray alongside the Jazz management or be angered that they once again refused to spend. Hayward, Butler, George, Gallo, Millsap, CP3, Serge, Iggy, Redick, Olynyk, Gay... so many pieces so why are the Jazz continuing this refusal to spend their cap space and take a chance? They've never liked to gamble on a player like Kevin Martin or Monte Ellis or Isaiah Thomas who are available on the cheap. Why not go hard after the guy who might possibly compliment Ricky and Rudy better than anyone else in the league? My answer is money.
