Beverley to Lakers for THT and Stanley Johnson

[Jingled]

How is a trade for an aging head case with a huge *** contract going to help us? I’m serious, enlighten me.

The Jazz would obviously buyout Westbrook and he would never even play a game here. Trading some of our vets like Bogey, JC, Beasley or Conley for Westbrook and their 27 and 29 first round picks would be a great move...those picks will likely end up being very valuable.

Neither are rebuilding pieces since THT sucks and so does Johnson and isn’t young.

I remember when Rudy Gobert sucked as a 21 year old. I know I know, "but that was different!"

Why do we need cap space? Wouldn't a young prospect with upside be just as good or better than really low pick?

Where all outcomes lead to nothing or worse in two years? No.

THT is so good that the Lakers - a team that sucked last year - are dumping him for space.

 

[fishonjazz]

That will either suck and eat cap or leave. 0 upside here.

Eh, not everything in basketball is done on paper. If he plays great then that means I got to watch a jazz man play great. I think that is upside.

 

[idiot]

We’re rebuilding… we need as many bites at the apple as we can get. Wake up.

Getting a chance to re-build THT's career sounds to me like at least as good a bit at the apple as a random Lakers second-rounder (I don't believe 1st rounder was on the table).

I think it’s still a net positive for the Jazz because winning doesn’t matter….but you have to think the Jazz should have done better gear. Beverley is a solid positive trade asset. THT is negative or neutral at best. Should have gotten some kind of pick out of this at least.

That’s cool. I don’t.

Or he plays well and we trade him during the season or sign him to an extension. Plenty of upside.

Just seems like the New York present offer of picks and young players trumps it….to me at least. I mean what would that buyout figure even look like I wonder.

It’s like a carbon copy of the exact trade of the trade Danny made to make Boston a multi time eastern conference finals team.

People are mad we traded Berverly for a 21 year old? Yikes.
