I find it interesting how people on this board always know exactly what deals were on the table for our players at the time. Rumors are rumors. Generally, even when a deal is consumated, it falls short of the expected "deal" that fans were expecting.
We really don't know exactly what the deals were for Lauri or if Lauri would have agreed to sign with a new team if traded. I do know the Jazz haven't been big about swallowing albatross multi year contracts. The renting cap space business has been greatly reduced by the new CBA, so I think the Jazz have played that correctly.
Additionally, the Jazz have a pretty clean salary sheet, a slew of young players, and still have years of trade assets. They have also pulled this off without alienating a majority of the fanbase.
I just don't get the doom and gloom.
