You don't think they tried to trade RJ and Marvin?

Nope i dont think they really wanted to trade them. I think the jazz value thier experience and veteran leadership for the young guys too much.
Gotta develop that winnig culture lol.

Hinkie has been planning the sixers tank since last years draft I'm sure he did his damndest to acquire beans. They would have unloaded him and Rj with or without our help. We got 4 draft picks. This was a good move for us.

I'm not saying that it wasn't, because it was. If fact, it looks like the best possible trade that the Jazz could have pulled off at any level this past offseason. I just think that it could have been better with a couple of tweaks.

At the time that it happened, I was hoping for Bazemore instead of Rush. Bazemore is a glorified cheerleader, but he's also a defensive specialist and the Jazz could have used that. The Warriors would have been stuck with Rush (who was worthless this year) until they could flip him in one of the many moves that they made this year. I bet that it still would have cost them a win or two (which might have been the difference between making and missing the playoffs). They eventually flipped Bazemore and Brooks for Blake - which is likely how Rush would have been used as well.

The bigger mistake by the Jazz was helping Randy Foye get the deal that he wanted by turning the whole thing into a three-way sign and trade deal between Denver, Golden State and Utah. Without doing that, Golden State is probably stuck just signing Iggy outright, which totally screws up their cap and kills their chances to add any depth guys like O'Neill, Speights, etc. It would have effed up their mid-level exception too. Even if the Jazz had just waited to do their own sign-and-trade with Denver after the Iggy deal went down they could have pulled off getting another asset for a guy they had no reason to get one for and made it so that the Warriors bench would have been MUCH worse than it was this year.
 
The old Hollinger rankings show that GS is 99.7% certain to make the playoffs.

That Dallas win was absolutely critical to them and Curry pulled it out. What an ***.

GS has to lose every game and then everything else would have to fall just right.

I guess we can look to 2017. GS has a lot of infighting right now. Jackson will be let go. Maybe the team disintegrates over the next few seasons and Curry demands a trade.
