Go GET Teague

[Thee Jazz Fan]

you're pretty high. Would you mind showing me where I wanted to send first-round picks? I'll wait until you come down.

Well some have. Sorry if your not one, but still don't see how giving up two of the top scoring bench players for the Teague rental helps. Plus, there's the matter of Exum being behind in his development due to injury, and the sooner he can develop into a leader as the lead guard the better. If the Jazz were ready to contend next year. I might understand the need to upgrade at pg, but we aren't contending, Teague or no Teague.

We are still rebuilding and developing young players on one of the youngest teams in the league. Trading for Teague means we delay an important part of Exum's development as a leader as a starting pg.

If this trade went through tomorrow, and the jazz stayed healthy, then there's still a shot at the 5th seed.

Teague
Hood
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

^that's an absolutely legitimate starting 5.

I ain't gonna lie. **** looks sexy as hell on paper. I'd love Muscala back too if possible.

I think something like a Burks, Burke, future 1st would get it done now that I think about it more. Gotta remember we couldn't get a single asset for someone like Millsap. We were in the same situation then that ATL is in now. I think if we could've gotten a serviceable back-up like Trey, a solid player like Burks, and a 1st for Millsap we would've been all over it.

The fact we don't have any mini albatross contracts hurts us dealing with them. If we were to take on Splitter it might get done without Hood. Hard to match up salaries.

Jazz are under the cap, salaries do not have to match.

The more I think about this potential deal the more excited I get. I'll be pissed when I see the news he's going to New York

Your statement makes no sense.

We couldn't get a single asset (you say) for Millsap, but yet we should be giving up three assets for a player who is a lesser player than Millsap?

Here's what's wrong with your statement. We could have got something for Millsap. He's a Damn good player, and it wasn't some secret. It wasnt his lack of contract(see Dragic and Miami). It's that the Jazz management screwed up and didn't pull the trigger. The same goes for AL Jefferson. I don't want to hear that they would have if they had something good enough. That's B.S. They have a track record of managing way too conservatively and not thinking enough about the future.

Why the hell are so many people afraid to criticize management of the Jazz? They have done a lot of dumb stuff, plain and simple.

Hack is right about that point (although it's worth noting that Teague has more than a season left on his deal and would thus probably worth more). The Al Jefferson era was a comedy of mismanagement (outside of the Deron trade itself).

 

[dipship31]

True, we probably could've gotten some assets for either Al or Millsap, but I bet the offers on the table just weren't that great. Even though the Jazz during that period was weird in terms of not willing to sacrifice anything to attempt the playoffs, I think they would've pulled the trigger if a nice offer was on the table so I would hope that some combination of Burke/Burks/picks would be enough for a guy like Teague.

Jeff Teague is the right player for the Jazz to become a reliable playoff team! I would trade any Jazz player for him except Gobert, Favors and Hood.

 

[Tony]

You know when you see those trades involving players from the Jazz that everyone here laughs at because it's so preposterous to us? I see a lot of that going on here.

^Dalamon is officially off teh cakk, it seems.

Go find my posts that say we shuold hold off until the trade deadline at earliest. The time wasnt last offseason. Said that several times. We've had about half a season to see what we get out of PG play. Burke is NBA ready, Neto largely isn't. Teague makes sense as his contract doesnt interfere with Exum's development (seeing as he's the rightful heir to our PG spot).

Nailin it again as usual.

also, HELL ****ING NO on sending Hood out of here. **** that **** eighteen-fold. Burks and Burke is about as good of a package as theyll get.
