2019 Trade Deadline Discussion

[infection]

Could just sign him in the offseason without having to give up any assets no?

We said that last year.

Look, guys, water! Draft day trades! Free agency!

I’d so much rather this team grow with OP Jr than take an ephemeral jab at the title during the Warriors era. ****.

Utah was a slave state and not only a slave state, but mormons were brutal to the slaves. Brigham Young ordered extermination orders of local native Americans and they captured and sold the natives into slavery.

Mormon doctrine was that black people were black because they sinned in the premortal life and that blacks would be slaves in heaven. It was god’s form of mercy toward the less valiant in the pre-existence.

Are you saying Utah was a slave state before the Civil War? If so Utah wasn't a state until 1896 and was not counted as a slave state in the sense of North vs South slave states. Many states had slaves but were not considered slave states during the time before and during the civil war. It was Brigham Young who really cemented the racism in mormonism. He was pro slavery and a racist. Joseph Smith ran on a anti-slavery platform and baptized and ordained blacks to the priesthood. He would not seal them in the temple. I am sure like most people during that time JS had his prejudices but BY was certainly a racist. The doctrine about blacks being inferior and cursed in the pre-existence was used to implement the racism doctrine that blacks were cursed with darkened skin. I am sure this probably may have influenced some blacks to pass on Utah but it mostly had more to do with economics.

I think you must be the biggest Niko Homer on here... And I'm fine with that

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Just go get Niko, damnit.

Think the Jazz are waiting on the Conley domino to fall.

 

[MDAV28]

We said that last year.

He wasn't a free agent last year....

 

[framer]

We said that last year.

He was under contract. He won't be in a few months.

 

[infection]

He wasn't a free agent last year....

Exactly. We kept saying nobody would pick up his option and he’d be a FA and we could get him without sacrificing assets.

 

[cowhide]

True. But a number of large corporations have left CA in the past decade. The LA area in particular was hit hard. Northern CA has been more resilient due to high tech.

Several have left because of the cost of living and having to pay people more to afford rent in CA. With all that CA is still an economic powerhouse in the world.

 

[NAOS]

If the Bulls can get rid of their atrocious guards, then they may have something.

 

[MDAV28]

Exactly. We kept saying nobody would pick up his option and he’d be a FA and we could get him without sacrificing assets.

Who? Either way it's irrelevant since he IS a FA this offseason. Jazz could give up assets to have him walk and/or get overpaid. #NoToNiko
