2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

I assume you're referring to my post.

I have perspective. I said they were playing terribly earlier in the season. Which is undeniable fact.

No one disagreed with this. We simply said that the schedule was playing a part in our poor play and we would be much better when the schedule eased up.

Also, despite my pessimistic attitude this season I've always claimed that I think they will finish with 45-ish wins. I think that a lot of the time people read my posts and think I'm saying we are just awful. That's not the case. I just don't think we are as good as we were last year. Or as good as many of us expected we would be this year. 45 ish wins isn't terrible. It's just not the 50-55 many of us expected.

I think with the addition of Korver we might actually end up being a better team than last year. We had by far the toughest schedule in the league for much of the season which isn't an excuse but simply a fact. I think any team in the league would have been up and down through that brutal stretch. Also worth noting, right now we are 26-21, last year at this exact point in the season we were 19-28.

This is true... plus we expect DM will improve and I think his recent play suggests he has now.

It wasn’t our record during the tough part of the schedule that was troubling it was some ugly losses and not seeing improvement in some of the key guys. The defense was also off early which I think threw people a bit. If we were playing as poorly as we were some nights it was tough to believe we’d make hay once the schedule turned.

There were likely some mild struggles that became exaggerated because the schedule was so frickin tough.
 
Korver has been big... I was kinda shocked the reaction to the trade was so mixed.

I mean when even I approved of the trade you know it must have been a good one.

To be fair though I don't think the reactions were all that mixed. I know hack hated the trade but he is an idiot. I think thee hated it. Who else though?
I think like 80% of jazzfanz thought it was a good trade for the jazz

There were some experts that I respect that were really "Meh" on the deal or slightly negative. It was a no-brainer.
 
One thing I wonder... we are close to having the 32M max salary open but not quite there. Would need to renounce some smaller salaries if we got a yes.... Niang, Neto options not picked up. I wonder if we move Bradley or our pick... maybe Neto if we don't plan on picking up the option. All those things can be done in the summer, but I just wonder if we make a super small salary move to set things up.

Its only worth dumping those players if we get one of the big fish. If we don't get....

Harris
Middleton
Klay
KD
Kyrie
Cousins

then $32.7 million for year one of that max deal doesn't even matter.

Niko, Randle, and others shouldn't be $30+.
