How many other owners are down with trading their two all-stars in the same off-season after 6 straight playoff runs?

I get the logic, but that is not what they did the trades for. They are retooling and rebuilding on the fly in the hopes for at the most a one year turn around. What they did in truth was they sold high on 1 overpaid overrated center, for a massive haul of picks, and a couple of win now players who also have rebuild staying potential. They traded a market inflated value first option 6'1 guard for, 2 highly underrated value players who were to be starters or 6th man level players day one in Utah and one who has a high floor, not too mention some draft picks that might also help them add some more win now prospects from the draft each year.
I think you are misjudging about how reserved this front office regardless of them having a pair

Lmao. What LALA land do you live in? Markkanen doesn’t need to make an allstar team for the jazz to lose a lot of games.

So phoenix is now without Payne and CP has a hip issue… they should make a trade or they will plummet down the standings… Booker of course still out 3 weeks.
They are diving hard. I'm hoping they stop before they dive past Minny.. but doesnt look good atm.

Its impressive to see a man feeding off his emotions smh of course him gaining more accolades like being an allstar which he deserves to be mind you, puts massive pressure on the team around him as he will garner more and more attention from it. Many players struggle with it, maybe he won't.

That sounds like Jordan Clarkson or Mike Conley's music

them doing a GSW mini tank if Booker is out any longer than that, wouldn't shock anyone . But they could turn it around pretty quick with a decent btb 10 day facilitator signing
Just curious if anybody has examples of "showcasing" a player for the trade deadline and it actually working.
A lot of people, including myself, have referred to playing a guy ahead of the deadline to increase their trade value. I'm just not sure there is any history of that actually working.

The thing with them is that since they do have so much talent and a tight window with CP they pretty much have to try and make a win now move to keep them afloat. All they have to do is get into the playoffs and they have a chance.
I can't really think of anyone in particular. Most of the time the guys getting moved have a more established history of play or it seems a lot of the time it is the opposite of showcasing and guys out of the rotation are moved.

No such thing as "showcasing". All NBA players have been under a microscope since they were 14 years old (or earlier). Everyone is a known quantity.
If anything, it's a risk to give extended minutes to vets you're going to trade. They might get hurt. Case in point - Kelly Olynyk.
