Tht getting time at the 3 would not surprise me.Curious, too, how THT shakes out now.

This.What exactly is our plan with Clarkson? Seems odd to me that he's still on this team, as much as I love the guy.
Not all firsts are created equal. A super super late first in a very weak draft <<<<<<< a late first in any other year or multiple seconds. And that's what he just sold KO for. I would even take an early second like what the pistons offered for Simone over this year's late first because of the less money in guarantee.KO was on the market for months. there were media reports everywhere that indicated 4 to 8 teams really wanted him. do you really believe all those teams were offering 1st round picks? do you really believe danny was offerred a 1st round pick for KO and said let me throw in another player for free? danny is a lot of things but he does not give players away for free. this was the best offer for KO. no other team offered a first for KO alone. if they had Danny would have taken it and saved an asset.
DA is too old to keep up negotating the best offer out of GMs from 8 different teams. He's gotten lazy and just handpicked the best initial offer available. If he told teams he's selling both KO and Ochai for a super late first in a super weak draft, you can bet on teams to start calling to beat that offer.Sorry I have to disagree about DA, But he has given several Jazz players away for nothing .
I don't think there will be a big trade market for him this offseason. I think DA may have overplayed his hand if NY had a good offer on the table.This.
There's literally no point at all for him to be on the roster.
Such a special player at his size always surveying the floor making the right read. So crafty getting to the hole, throwing the pump fake and using the rim. Thurl said that his teammates made harder cuts when he was in cause Kelly would find you. Miss him already, hope he gets a big payday!This one kind of hurts. I thoroughly enjoyed KOs game personally.
This isn't any weaker than most drafts as far was depth goes. There will be plenty of solid prospects to choose from in the late first and early second round.Not all firsts are created equal.

Plus KO was on the market for months. Yes. But Ochai wasn't. If he told teams that he would include Ochai in the package you think that wouldn't change the whole conversation?
Teams tried to lowball you with sucky initial offers all the time. It's all about the patient and negotiation tactics to squeeze the better offers out of them. But I doubt a 64 year old DA still has the energy to play that kind of wait game with all those teams so he simply compared teams initial offers and took the best one.
We already have an early second from Simone's deal. There's literally zero need to buy this sucky late first. We have two rookies that aren't getting any minutes. Do we really need more? Ochai at least was a serviceable rotation piece and we just traded him for "prospects" who will be lucky to even crack the rotation like...Ochai?This isn't any weaker than most drafts as far was depth goes.

Trade him when his value is higher.What exactly is our plan with Clarkson? Seems odd to me that he's still on this team, as much as I love the guy.
I cherish the daily opportunity to deprive you of your ignorance and bad takes, Upside, but I’m not sure you deserve it after your bitch *** passive aggressive emojis today.This.

I'm aware of this.This summer, when Clarkson’s contract shrinks to $14 mil, it becomes significantly easier to find a dance partner - either in the off season or next trade deadline.
You really like to complain. The reality is that these 2 deals combined likely help us keep our own draft pick and to clear minutes for the 2 rookies that you say aren't getting minutes. With the 2 acquired picks odds are we use at least one of them in another deal.We already have an early second from Simone's deal. There's literally zero need to buy this sucky late first.

If we didn't do the Simone deal then KO/Ochai deal would make a bit more sense. But we simply oversold this trade deadline
That's a possibility. Of course it's the possibility you gravitate towards.I'm aware of this.
Nevertheless, we heard from numerous "sources" that there were quite a few teams after him in recent weeks. They even went into detail about the supposed Knicks deal and JC himself apparently "welcomed" such a trade.
It's fair to ask if Danny got greedy in the end, and as a consequence, we now have a guy on the roster who knows he's not wanted, has no real role, is having a terrible season and is probably gone soon anyway. Do you play such a guy?
As AlaskanAssassin asked... what's the plan?

You need to learn about smokescreens. There were a bunch of rumors about the Jazz being in on Murray and they never even made an offer.
Our bet was only for a week, but he's kept it for a couple years now. I respect it.I love that all of your posts match your Eeyore.
