to be honest I don't mind the jazz winning and i want to see kanter traded. this hopefully will bring in another asset.

Utah winning and Kanter being traded now is what you call minimization of assets. Maybe we can deal with one, but not both. If we trade Kanter for scraps and start winning to the tune of drafting out of the top 10, that is a MAJOR setback in the rebuild, make no mistake about it. That would suck *** for those of us hoping to get back into contention.

I'd take Booker first among those guys.

Hopefully we aren't in a position where we're choosing between guys like Turner and Winslow. Just get top 6 damn it.

Top 6 not looking good, I'm afraid. My dreams of Hezonja, fading.

Starting to look like Booker as the most realistic option.

Vezenkov had 18pts/9rbs (5/12 FT, 1/43P, 7/8FT) game this weekend. Also, the president of his club shared that he has a contract until 2016 and the buy out is 250K Euro for European clubs and 500K USD for NBA teams.

I'm sure Lindsey is all over this though. There is no way Kanter gets traded. My guess is he'll enter RFA, nobody will pay that much for him, and we'll end up getting him at around $7-8m which is a bargain for a 3rd big with his potential.

Hope you're right, but I doubt. Kanter should be moved, but not at a minimum. **** that.

Why would Kanter not pull a Monroe? It allows him to leave Utah sooner (which he seems to want) and he'll get more money by signing a contract when the cap goes up.

What did Monroe do?

Three things:


1. If there were no decent offers during RFA, what makes him think there will be decent offers the year after?

2. Without the long term contract in place, the Jazz may be less inclined to play him significant minutes next year seeing as he would no longer be part of their future plans. Can Kanter stand rotting away on the bench all year, not improving, and decreasing his chance of a big pay day once he hits free agency?

3. He risks getting injured without a long term contract to fall back on during that year.

If he doesn't get good offers, he'll STILL get more money next year, even if he doesn't improve, because the cap will go up.
