OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

Finally caught back up to the season last night. It's been so long since I checked ESPN I literally just found out 5 minutes ago about the possible Bledsoe trade.

I almost wept. We have to close on this.
 
Since Internet rumors and chat boards started, the only time I can remember hearing the Jazz mentioned in a possible trade rumor that actually came true was when they traded DeShawn for Girichuck. Every other trade involving the Jazz came out of the blue. I don't think I'm overlooking any trades.

I remember the Brewer to Memphis trade beeing leaked about a month before it happened. Jazz denied it of course. Although I guess it could be argued that the rumour was not exactly the same as the trade, since the rumour was Brewer for a #1 pick and mentioned nothing about Brewer's hamstring staying in Utah for 6 weeks.

The Gugliotta to Utah trade from the same year had been tossed around for quite a while as well. I think that had more to do with Utah being so much under the cap that year and Googs redunkulous expiring contract.
 
I hate the rep system. Seven count them seven positive reps in a row and I am still stuck on 7 for rep power. A pox curse on the whoever is in charge of reps!
You need quite a few to move up a notch. I rarely receive neg rep, but I've been stuck on the same power for quite some time. Guess I just don't have enough friends!

It also depends who's repping you. If it's someone with like 1 rep power, repping you 7 times, your rep power won't change much.

Take this for what it's worth:

If you live your life wanting acceptance from others, you'll have a very tough and difficult life. Accept yourself for who you are. Post what you feel comes from your heart (and your brain as well). Love what you post regardless of what others think.

Once you can do that - you'll be happy regardless. And you'll enjoy what life has to offer much more. Any reps (or other kinds of recognition from your peers) will be cherry on top.

I didn't really consider that one, but you're right. It was rumored but because it had more to do with finances (and getting Gordon Hayward) than with improving the team at the time, I ignored it.

As interesting as the Millsap for Bledsoe talk is, my all-time Jazz deadline rumor that had me on the edge of my seat was back in '97 when they were trying to trade for Chris Mullin but supposedly refused to part with Bryon Russell.

Thank God, can you imagine Mullin trying to guard Jordan in the in finals?

Two consecutive sweeps.
