**Breaking** Trey Burke being discussed in Trades!!!!

[gregbroncs]

You don't know what you can even SAY! It is on record OKC offer Harden for Kanter and filler. Don't yell me guy!

LINK? if it's on record give the link, I have not seen this. What was the filler? Also don't forget that was going to be a 3 month rental of Harden as well, so without a guarantee of an extension or the Jazz knowing they were matching the contract that can change it.

And as gregbroncs said, Houston traded for Harden because they got a guarantee he would re-sign with them.

And let me ask you this, OKC is paying how much in luxury tax? They were ONLY willing to take Kanter because they thought by doing so, it would show Durant they are willing to make some moves. $16M for a BENCH player who is now getting LESS minutes than he was with Utah. CRAZY!!!

We should
1> Never take him. I knew it!
2> Trade him for Harden!
3> Trade him before last year Trade deadline!

We wait. know we pat ourself and say oh well "sunk cost" Sunk cost means bad choice!

It wasn't sunk cost because at the end of the day he had some value moving forward, at least for OKC. He didn't help the Jazz case by requesting a trade.

BTW, if you want to look smart, then you should read about 'Hindsight Bias'. Everything is so obvious when we look into the past right? I recommend you to read "Connecting the Dots" on Gladwell.com

Then you might stop making this silly argument

Who asked you? You just make it more silly.

 

[silesian]

Cost was sunk because he didn't work out.

You may want to take some time to understand the concept before abusing it and embarrassing yourself.

Sunk means "in the past" and is value neutral, nothing to do with whether they are good or bad.

Your Big Al persona is starting to mix with your current alt it seems. Try to keep them separate.

Fair enough that was his argument though. That his cost was sunk.

I've never seen anything stating that the Jazz made a solid offer, just that they inquired and had some nice pieces to work with (Kanter, Burks and draft picks), but everyone knew that wherever Harden went he was getting a 5 year max contract. As a RFA, there was no downside to making that trade since you'd retain the right to match any offer sheet.

I wanted this trade to happen at the time simply because Harden was clearly an Alpha scorer and would've paired well with Favors/Hayward for the future - plus the Jazz still had Jefferson, Millsap and Carroll on the roster - gotta think that Millsap and DMC stick around if the Jazz had gotten Harden and made the playoffs that year.

This is a forum. I don't need someone to 'ask me' to reply to a public idea posted here, especially if it's something dumb that makes no sense.

Get the concept right or find a more solid argument
