Time to call a LEMON a LEMON

Would you have traded a mid/late 1st rd pick for Marvin?

Didn't think so.

I would if I were the Spurs, Thunder or Heat. Marvin can play either forward position and somewhat guard Lebron.

What will we have in spades when we let Jefferson and Marvin's contracts expire? Cap-room.

Unless the Jazz let Gordo walk, they won't have THAT much cap space.

Or do a sign and trade.

Kanter solidified himself as a legit scoring big in the NBA. Check.

His FG% is down. His FT% is down. His FTA per-36 minutes has declined every season. His rebounding has declined every season. Same with his BLK%. His true shooting % is a career worst this season. His PER is down from last season. He is trending the wrong way in virtually every stat there is, accept for his passing, which has improved. So, yes he obviously has solidified himself, like you said. "Check"

Jefferson, Williams, Biedrins and Rush all expire, don't they?

We should have moved Marvin for a mid or late 1st-rd pick, but I'm getting the sense the Jazz may actually want to keep him. He fits in and is a Jazz type of guy.

Yes, because there were several deals made today in which teams were willing to give up 1st round picks, most notably for Spencer Hawes, the starting center for Philadelphia.

Oh wait...

MA, you are a lemon.

How big of a steal did Lindsey get to take back 3 1st round picks for a bunch of expiring contracts?

Clearly the teams are placing a premium on 1st rounders with the new CBA. Those picks will be massive assets in the future.

Lindsey ain't no lemon.

Just out of sheer boredom I would have liked to see a move made. But just because they didn't doesn't mean I'm ready to give up on DL.

Now after the season if he keeps Corbin and keeps cutting bait with these expiring deals and revolving door of mediocre veteran players, then I might be ready to start looking for a new team to root for.

If we pay Hayward and Williams a combined $15 million or so, and add in a couple of draft picks, don't we still have $20 million or so to play with before even trying to extend Burks/Kanter?

 

[Stifle Tower]

Jefferson, Williams, Biedrins and Rush all expire, don't they?

Yes, the Jazz have $30M+ in expiring contracts.
Deduct new contracts for Favors, Hayward, cap holds, etc and Utah should have about $15M left against the cap.

What is cap room if you can't attracted FA? Boozer wasn't a big splash. Name a big splash who will come here?

Dude, Boozer and Memo were both huge free agents to come to Utah. They were both all stars with the Jazz. Sure, we aren't getting LeBron, but 29 other teams are not either.
