Not true at all. By far the best (and logical) tank move would have been to flip Lauri, one of the best trade assets in the entire league this season, for an absolute king's ransom.
For some reason DA decided he'd rather watch Markkanen's value decline as he keeps losing with the rest of the dudes we have left.
We can all use the search function for my handle and the word "slurping"
Again, I think you are completely incapable of seeing nuance in anything.
I never called any of those deals amazing or great. THT was worth exploring. KO made the team better and helped the team develop a great style early on in the season.
THT was not worth exploring and he’s going to opt in for next season which myself and HH told everyone would happen.
He's worth exploring and that 10 milly he's owed is good for the Jazz for trade purposes.
You are really insufferable. Everything has to black/white and right/wrong for you.
Jazz needed the right set of circumstances to get something for Conley in a trade. There wasn't much of a market for him, and the fact that the Jazz manufactured a market with the Twolves and got a lightly protected pick from the Lakers is pretty decent. Jazz read the landscape and got what they could. Vanderbilt is really only worth a late 1st or 2nds, as much as everyone speaks highly of him.
The only trade that I'd criticize is the Bojan trade, but the Jazz wanted to move him before training camp.
Sorry for muddying up the thread fellas. I’m done here.
If this was truly the case why not sell Clarkson for 5 2nds?
The Jazz didnt really manufacture anything.
They got lucky the Lakers wanted D'Lo and they got lucky the Wolves were OK with taking Conley back.
It seems like Pelinka had DA bent over his knee tbh. DA talked a big game and the only reason he came out slightly positive was because the Wolves saved him (for a price).
With only 27 games remaining, it doesn't matter if the Lakers upgraded their roster. They're going to finish with 40 or 41 wins and barely make the play-in, at best. Meanwhile, we get to trade places with them in the draft order. And they gave us a nice FRP on top of it.
And I think DA made a mistake not selling someone like JC for 2nds.
2nds have value now that teams are really holding onto first, or actually dont have any because only 1/3rd of the NBA has tradeable first rounders.
Why not get a hoard of 2nd rounders and further the tank?

Clarkson is the only thing keeping the Jazz's culture and brand from becoming complete milquetoast.

no idea. i my opinion they should have. maybe they had compassion on Lauri and didn't want to leave him completely high and dry. perhaps they wanted to tank, but still be able to compete. maybe they like having him around for other reasons. who knows.
Ehh, they are 4.5 games out of the 6th seed and they have a pretty easy remaining schedule. I think they will get one of the advantageous play in spots at worst, 6th seed at best.
If they get a good deal on him in the off-season it will make sense. If they have to overpay for him or he just walks, it will be infuriating, especially if he is responsible for some extra wins.
So you had the Jazz sending Mike Conley to the T'wolves, while playing the Lakers for a FRP on your bingo card?
If the Lakers go 18-9 the rest of the way, I'll be thoroughly impressed. That will net them 43 wins.
Pretty meh trade deadline for the jazz. I'm glad we cleared out some guys that aren't part of the future, got a first, and made a decision which direction the rest of the season is going but they should have done a little more. Oh well, I hope we have a solid draft, FA, and make some trades before next season.
