Go GET Teague

I don't think burks will be in the deal. I think it's gonna be Burke and filler. Maybe booker. Maybe some second round picks. They need to get rid of Teague and we will benefit.

I think it will be Burke withey Booker and either the OKC or gsw 1st rounder with splitter and Teague coming back. Tibor has to be in the deal for salary but he could go to porty or Philly with a second rounder. Both teams can take on salary. They get replacements for what they send out which aren't as good as what they lost but clear 14.5 in salary for next year and pick up a pick. I don't think they are desperate to move him but I think both Teague and the Hawks are ready to move on.

I always find it funny when people say things like this. How do you figure?

Because the Knicks are willing to spend the money. Because they aren't scared of being bad enough to pick in the lottery. Because they aren't scared to make a big trade. They aren't scared to take a boom or bust player in the draft.

In my opinion, I think it's pretty hard to get anywhere in the NBA being real conservative. It's a recipe for being average. I'd rather just be bad for a long time and give my team a better chance to snag the next transcendent great player.

Unfortunately, that's what it's gonna take for a team like Utah to win it all. We just won't be attracting any big name free agents any time soon.

Utah is under the cap. Salary isn't a consideration. I can't see the jazz giving up a first round pick.

They clear cap room for next year... we use cap room. We are about $7M under the cap currently so we can use that plus the other guys to make the schematics work. Salary is always a consideration.

You have to give something of value to get something. You aren't acquiring teague for Burke and filler. I think Mil. would give them the Clippers pick they have or some other fringe asset that would beat the Burke plus filler offer.

The Knicks are the gold standard when it comes to building a team guys!

The Knicks are terrible and have been since the Ewing days. Even then they could only get to one NBA finals; and that was their first since 1972. No, the Knicks are content to HEMORRHAGE money to build a team. Same thing they've been doing for decades. Hasn't worked out so well, has it? Plus, big market teams with built in wealth (the NYK is the most valuable NBA franchise) have WAY more flexibility to take risks. And if their fans don't like it, the team DGAF - they'll do what they see fit. There's NO WAY the Jazz could afford to do that on so many levels.

As far as no major FA coming to the Utah Jazz: this is been the case since day 1, 1979 and it hasn't changed. After almost 40 years, one would have to understand that this would be the case in perpetuity unless the Jazz get REALLY lucky. So this should be treated as a given fact and not something to beat up management over.

So, realistically and from a competitive standpoint, the formula the Jazz are using is practical and sensible as opposed to wreckless. And that's our Jazz

I find it hilarious how mad people around here get if you question the decisions of the team.

I don't think "mad" is the correct operative word here. I for certain am not upset in any way. Just having discussion. :-)

In these 24 pages has anyone answered this question that I posted on the 1st??


who was the last player "out indefinitely" that was traded in the NBA ??


In what world does the 4th team in the east trade a starting PG for a SG that's out indefinitely??? seems like fantasy to me.

Burks will be back before the deadline. So there would be no injured players involved in this trade.

Having said that,
I wouldn't include burks in the trade

Wasn't mad I was just laughing that you were going on about the Knicks being aggressive and yada yada when their front office has generally been one of the worst over the past 15 years. It was nice of them to gift us Gordon Hayward though... Thanks Isiah!

We have made mistakes for sure, but our mistakes have been much smaller.
