Kanter traded to OKC

[stitches]

The Jazz also would have retained the option of keeping Kanter.

Yes, the problem is we had no control over the price and we had no control over Enes' desires. Do you really want a disgruntled player who doesn't want to be here with the team?

These idiots on 1280 are oblivious to what has happened today. talking about hunting and fishing SMH

Kanter is going to get a nice welcome next time the Thunder come to town....

Pretty sure we will send a double team every time.

My guess would be that we trade the first round pick again to someone, hopefully this off season.

If Durant leaves the value of that pick goes up.

this is true. there is plenty of time for the thunder to implode.

The Jazz also would have retained the option of keeping Kanter.

Exactly. I just hope this 1st round pick 3 years from now pans out. If nobody gave him a big contract he could have been back for a decent number.

If this is the Thunder's future pick, then I hate this trade and DL should be reevaluated.

Signing Booker caused this situation in the first place. If he couldn't see that coming, that is worrisome.

Either you know less than nothing or you're trolling.

Here's the quick run-down:

Everyone in the league is going to have the functional equivalent of max cap space because of jumps in the salary cap from the new league TV deal. When everyone has max cap space, no one has max cap space.

New York and Utah are obviously comparable in terms of free agent desirability. So I guess you got me there.

This upcoming FA and the next capspace is super important. The Jazz need to make a big signing either now or next year so we can overpay to a player who won't be overpaid in the future, if that makes sense.

 

[Stoked]

JK....but seriously. Seems like a panic move.

Or DL knew they were not going to match anything Kanter got so this way the get something.

Hell I don't even know what the Jazz did get haha

Next up: We spend an hour discussing BYU's 3rd string line backer options for next year. Stay tuned.

 

[jimmy eat jazz]

Given what we know, I'm not a huge fan of the deal, but I don't think looking in retrospect on what Kanter WAS (third pick) is in any way useful for GMs.

Nor should it be. As someone alluded earlier, sunk costs are sunk costs.

So we got more draft picks, at some point we need to turn these into some good veterans who can help the team. We can't be perpetually young and win.

Why wouldn't it be low first rounder?

Because there is serious chance they will blow it out if Durant and Westbrook decide to leave in free agency...

PF Grant Jerrett might also be coming from OKC according to Jodi Gennesy
