It's kind of funny to see media react to Kanter in OKC. I've seen unstoppable offensive juggernaut. Sweet Jumper. Improves their front court defensive presence.

The problem is that when the cap space goes up in another year, it goes up for everyone, so Jazz don't gain any advantage. Which means it is at a disadvantage, because now it has to compete with every other team, including the New York's LA's, Miami's etc. of the world for the same pool of talent. We aren't getting any big time FAs out of this.

My faith in DL has just dropped precipitously. He (they) must have concluded that Kanter just wasn't going to improve enough to be in their long-term plans, and so better get something (anything) for him now rather than nothing in RFA. I'm tired of banking my hopes on future draft picks. What are the odds that we get someone at, say, 15 that is better than Kanter? I can't help but feel that DL allowed the Jazz to get fleeced.

Before I'm a smart ***, let me just say I agree for the most part. We did get someone at 27 who is better then Kanter, just saying.

1. The Jazz could renounce Kanter or not offer him the QO, and keep most of that cap space.

2. As such, the Jazz only gained cap space by dumping Novak, who they shouldn't have acquired in the first place.

It's easy to say that about Novak in hindsight, but based on where the Jazz were today are you seriously saying their best move would have been to do nothing except letting Kanter go for nothing in the off season?

I totally agree with you. There were quality players on the trade block but we didn't make a run for none of them...Dragic, Isaiah Thomas, Brandon Knight, Afflalo, Reggie Jackson and so on...we had tradable players and draft picks to offer but nothing happened....I guess mainly because quality players are not interested in playing for the Jazz!
Same story will be in the free agency this summer...we have a lot of money to spend....but which talented player will accept to play for the Jazz? Let's stop to deceive ourselves!

That's seriously wrong. It's been well documented that practically every time the Jazz have had money to spend under the cap they have been able to get quality players to sign with them.

But we never got Lebron doe
 
We have 4 chances to win this trade. If either of the prospects become good rotation players, if we sign a good free agent this offseason, or if we nail the first rounder. Sounds a lot better than keeping kanter and praying he learns how to pass shoot and play defense and is fine coming of the bench etc.

Well, since you put it that way. I'm still disappointed Utah didn't get more, but I'm past the anger stage and am now in acceptance mode.

Get a starting quality player in the draft (even if he doesn't start right away), and sign a couple of Booker-like players in the $5-$7M range.
 
The Kanter trade doesn't even show up on the ESPN NBA Page...every other trade that went down today shows up except for ours. Nobody cares...LOL.

Probably because the bigger name in the deal was Jackson. Goes to show how much people think about Kanter.

Yes overpaying role players that don't have big market or players that wanted to revive their career....

Jazz always relied heavily on the draft.
