Interesting trade (for CY)

Your post seemingly infers that Kanter has no value, though. Either he doesn't, or the GSW pick doesn't. But I totally agree that if you can trade a player you like/need less for assets you like/need more, you do it.

I guess the best way I can put it is that it seems like a lot of pieces going a lot of places and everyone moving laterally. I'm not scared to stand pat if there is nothing out there to like for Kanter because I can see him still having a role on this team going forward for the right price and minutes (relatively cheap scoring and floor spacing from a big on the second unit).

Unless Otto Porter is really that good. But I don't follow hoops that much these days so what do I know.

Everyone understands that everything can change in two years, right? And if it doesn't, then the value of the pick has hardly changed, right? At least in terms of how people are valuing it in all of the Kanter-panic trades that I've seen here, the value couldn't be worse in two years.

By the way, everyone understands that the Jazz should probably still be in asset-ACCUMULATION mode right now... right?

I mostly agree, however, with the upcoming salary cap bump, it feels like teams are pretty much going to be able to keep any player they want. There might be a window for getting the right pieces on this team before nobody has any insentive for trading quality players.

Even with that possibility, you still don't trade away an unprotected pick, 2 years away.

Unless you can get a guy like Jimmy Butler or Andrew Wiggins, I agree completely. Also consider, that Andrew Bogut, David Lee, Iggy and Curry have all struggled with injuries at some recent point in their careers. There's a lot that can happen over the next two seasons that can cause them to turn from one of the hottest teams in the west to a team on the outside looking in. That asset may end up being worth very little in the grand scheme of things, or it could end up being amazing. You just have to hang onto it and find out.

Plumlee is such garbage. He's not even an asset. Just a terrible trade.

Not a big Miles fan - liking Mason though more and more. Although probably not trade-able. Brooklyn is putting Lopez on the block so they can play him more.
