There’s definitely a trade out there involving PG13. Future picks and #5 for something like Collins, sexton, keyonte and 21 or some variation I would find extremely hard to say no to. Like you said, we’ve got the cap space for the next few years and anyone who thinks this team is competing in 2 years has lost their marbles unless we just magically get a gift.
Sold.
No, but I didn`t enjoy the Al Jefferson-led team getting swept by the Spurs in the first round of the play offs either. I think the plan is to keep searching for the one special player. When they feel they got him, either through trade or the draft, the tank is over.
Ya this is how the trade should look for the jazz to do it.
At the end of it it certainly will be. Without question. Maybe the exact current value is somewhat ok but in 3 years it'll be the worst contact out there by far.
They were back in the conference semis after four losing seasons with a single top 10 pick, Dante Exum, who was not a factor in returning to the playoffs. We're now heading into the fourth losing season since we were last in the playoffs, and everyone here seems to be more interested in trading away talent and accumulating draft picks year after year with an indefinite timeline for returning to contention than they are in actually returning to contention. The losing could easily stretch to 6 years under this scenario. That requires a lot of winning post-tank to earn an acceptable ROI on the losing investment. The post Al Jefferson era is not a good model for what is going on now.
Thats close but I still wouldn't do it. I need a little more. We keep #21 or the lakers pick or get a future first.
