Call me a homer a thousand times

Would Sactown really be willing to do this for something like Al + GS pick? Or Millsap + GS pick? That'd be crazy if we got Cuz without giving up any of our core.

It would be amazing of that is enough but they might need another pick as well. Maybe throw in a 2nd rounder just to sweeten it up.

We just need some real info.

al and millsap aren't our core? they are 1 and 2 in points, rebounds, minutes, attempts... giving up al/paul IS giving up part of our core.

i'm not saying either of those would necessarily be bad deals, but al/paul are more "core" to who the jazz are right now than kanter or burks.

Are you just in the mood to argue? I think his meaning is pretty clear.

Thank you.

theNBAnerd always seems in the mood to argue semantics and minor trivialities in relation to the Jazz team. Just my take.

Ya, Al and Millsap are our core if we want to be a perennial 8 seed. The young guys are our core if we want any kind of hope of winning a championship.

i don't think it's a triviality. defining our core is pretty important if we're going to start making franchise-defining moves. if we're referring to someone who played 13 mpg last year as "core" and other guys who carried the team as "non-core", then i think we kind of messed up.

now, if we have decided we want to switch out our core for a different core, that's another conversation. but let's not fool ourselves: right now, guys like burks and kanter are not central to the team's success.

and remember, this is all coming from someone who is VERY pro-trade-jefferson.

Al Jefferson is not our core if the trade of him is a highly sought after thing.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I've been asked to share no more details. No worries, though, there aren't any yet. Things are still totally in the SAC camp. Time for specific trade talks haven't even commenced.
I've shared some PM's .. But there's not a lot of info, yet.

I just read the first 8 pages of this thread before I gave up. What has happened besides PKM saying there is something looming?

EDIT: this was posted at the same time as PKM's post above. I see that we've rolled onto the 15th page without any info. Ah, the offseason.

He's not a part of our "desired core", but when the guy is the main focal point of your offense, unfortunately he's part of your core until he's no longer part of your team.
