This is why we want our cap space

If 3-team deal reported by @Ailene Voisin and @Sam Amick goes down, Blazers would absorb contract of C Robin Lopez and give up nothing.

Portland gets Lopez for nothing. Simply because they have the cap room. Jazz will(should) be able to do something similar. I like Lopez and wish it was us and not Portland getting in on this. Perhaps throw the Kings a second rounder and steal him from Portland?
 
Portland is looking good.

Would not be shocked if we locked up last in the division this year.


Portland's biggest problem last season was their bench-- if they can hang onto Hickson and keep Sideshow Bob as a 3rd big, they could be pretty damn good

I would be ecstatic.
 
Jazz are in the market for a stretch 3/4 or just a 4.
Lopez wouldn't have worked since he's a C

This. I don't care at all who Portland or Sac got, just as long as they gotten better, that's all I care about. Increases our chance at Jabari/Wiggins.

Go Jazz!!

Exactly! Let teams use up their cap room. I GUARANTEE better deals than Lopez will be available at the deadline when only a couple of teams will have straight cap space. This is great news because all three teams will be getting better. I know the Kings lost Tyreke, but they now have a true PG in Vasquez to pair up with McLemore. NOLA now has Tyreke Evans and Jrue. Portland replaces Hickson in the starting lineup with Lopez. These are three teams that now SHOULD have better records than the Jazz next season.
 
So looks like Boston and Philly are the top contenders for tanking. I'm actually making a list of the 16 or so contenders and summarizing off-season additions/subtractions. Thought I'd wait until at least Howard makes his decision. That could impact the list.

Wow I'm feeling giddy about the Jazz already this year. Remember last year when KOC made those quick moves to grab Mo, Foye and Marv????

There's been NOTHING this year SO FAR!!! Looks like they're fully committed to this "youth movement" at least for this 1 year. And like you said - they can also grab a decent player at the trade deadline and stash him away for '14/15 season when we'll "make a run".

Boy, am I excited!!
