Doufos is gone

[Darkwing Duck]

With the way the Jazz draft, and the position that they would potentially pick at, we just traded away 3 players that might make another teams squad as a backup for Al Jefferson.

The trade exception was a throw-in from Chicago, something we only got to use. So the trade exception was going to be used anyways.

Well, it wasn't a throw in. Jazz asked for it and Boozer and Chicago both accepted it.

What I mean was that Chicago didn't even need to do it. They only got a 2nd round pick from it, so they just 'gave' it to us to be nice.

Doesn't make sense to me. They need roster filler. Decline the option and he's done after this year at 1.2 M.

Roster filler can come at 400K and at a position they need more. Wolves did not want Koufos, but KOC made them take it, so Greg saves on luxury tax.

I'm pretty sure he has to wait until Mid-December to re-trade Boom Bitches.

Your probably right. Nothing stopping them from out and out cutting him though.

You guys know that Portland is going to offer big Fez their bi-annual exception.

You son of a bitch.

So I read somewhere that Koufus is 6th on the T-Wolves depth chart for big guys. LOL. Guy can't play in the NBA.

Weird that Fes hasn't gotten an offer at all. Maybe nobody thinks he can play either.

No, because if you look at box scores and don't do the on-court/off-court analysis, it's easy to come to that conclusion.

Good for Utah; less competition.

Now that Fesenko has a license (presumably), maybe he can be a designated driver for Jefferson .

While I like Jefferson and think he is the taller, younger Boozer, I think the Jazz gave up too much for him. They are in essence giving up 3 first round draft picks for a player that Minnesota was desperately looking to give up. The trade excpetion plus 2 drafts picks or 1 pick plus Koufos would and should have been enough. I think this was going to be Koufos' year, as he played well in the Summer League and looked like he was finally merging his flashes of brilliance from his rookie year with his more muscular NBA body. I think he could have been part of Utah's rotation this season especially with Okur out for much of the first half of the season. If Koufus wasn't in the deal, I would have given this trade an A. With him in the deal, I give it a B-, as I think Utah gave up one piece too much.

You're making it sound like the Twolves got away with one here by prying Doufus from us as we kicked and screamed, other way around, bruh. I see what you're saying on paper, but in reality taking him was a concession from the Twolves, not the coup you're making it out to be. WE WON by them taking Doufus off OUR hands. You'll see that by the fact they are just gonna cut or trade him. Calling him "a first round pick" like he's a nameless, faceless asset is misleading. He's Kosta ****ing Koufus, 1st round 2nd round.....first overall pick, doesn't matter, he's terrible.

Or you can actually watch the games and see that these guys have no talent.

 

[NCJazz]

Or more like a 5yr 50 million dollar deal The bi-annual is what 2 million? i think we would match that. Sloan thinks he has a lot of talent and apparently exit interview went well. Wonder if they will be able to watch any of his national team games this summer.

Kahn said that he had talked to Koufos' agent to let him know that they would try to find him a place where he could be higher on the depth chart in a contract season. On the Wolves, he's the 6th man on the big man depth chart.
