What happens if Lakers trade Gasol. Are we going to sit by and watch them get Wiggins and Parker and have a star again. While we partial reload our team. WTF where is our sense of urgency the year about halfway over.

The lakers will make trades. Bank on it.

I haven't watched much Laker ball though.. what' D'Antoni doing? His Phoenix thing or his 'hai guyz.. i cn haz def?' schtick he did in New York?

Well if the Lakers trade Gasol we are not going to do anything besides hope and/or complain. Because we have no control over wether the Jazz make any moves. I certainly hope they do secure the tank but I'm going to boycot or anything stupid like that.

Also if the Lakers do trade Gasol I hope he goes to the Cavs as that improves the Cavs. It would basically trade one tank rival for another. I'd rather compete with the Cavs instead of the Lakers. But I'll take the Lakers as tank competition over havin them both as competition.
 
On the plus side if we don't totally give the tank our all we will have a better record this year then the Lakers!!!! Then for the next 10+ we will watch Parker tear our team up.

Yeah but nowadays I have no idea where horse teeth is but I laugh at Tonya on the regs with her gig at "The Worlds Dumbest" TV show.

But serious, if the Lakers are in the tank I have a very bad feeling about that and if they get a top pick and the Jazz get somewhere in the 7-14 range I might just be done with BBall for good.
 
Not sure if the Jazz could pull off a trade that is so obviously terrible

CJ has a expiring contract and I'm pretty sure we have an amnesty that doesn't expire from the last collective bargaining session

From what I now understand the amnesty works only on players already on your roster before a certain date.
 
Teams are going to tank. Duh. We all knew that the lakers had a high probability of joining the tank from the time Kobe was seriously hurt last year. This isn't a surprise.

It also changes nothing from the Jazz's standpoint. We are built to tank. However, a coach fighting for his life and 2 vets who desire new contracts playing big roles prevent us from tanking.

The Jazz cannot control what the lakers do. They can and always have had control over their own record. And right now it appears as if the Jazz are trying to make the playoffs rather than tank.

If the Jazz want to counter the Lakers all they have to do is give kanter starters mins, play more Gobert, and play more JL3.
 
But, in this scenario we have assets to pull off the same trade and we don't need anything in return maybe a pick down the road. And we sabotage Lakers move to ensure their tank job.

Yep.

But since when have we done that? We have a long 30+ year history of being dormant come trading time. We are arguably the most conservative franchise in the league. In other words, don't expect us to do anything other than stand pat.
