It really wasn't hard to see the reasoning...
@infection and I both stated it was BS to paper over that they just did a very temporary money move and gave away a beloved player while doing so. Hilarious that they fooled a lot of well more well known Jazz bloggers cough*Dan Clayton*cough.
In a game where Bogey was out, Forrest was out, House left early... NAW got 4 minutes and didn't do ****.
I'd be willing to bet they couldn't do the trade without taking his salary back and that they absolutely dump him in the offseason with one of Bogey/Mike/JC in whatever salary clearing move we do. They will sell it like the other team wanted him.
And as is mentioned here... once things calm down people forget and it gets swept under the rug.
