Memo traded to NJ

[Shad]

We had to do this trade. It's obvious something had to be done and we didn't have to blow our am. on someone later.

If we traded Memo only to make room to sign AK I am going to ****ing shoot something.

Nah. I'd welcome it.

 

[Stoked]

I am sad that he won't be able to continue making Kanter feel more comfortable, however.

Well if the rest of the team reaches out to him then I think he will be ok. I hope they really form a strong bond. Helps with chemistry, locker room...

Locke is such a fanboy dressed up as an expert. He's just hilarious on KFan right now.

Call me sentimental, but I think we should have an AK appreciation thread and a Memo appreciation thread stickied for at least a week. Maybe have some prodigy videos on the first page of each......?.....?

Yes. Plenty of Memo highlights out there. It does make sense from a business standpoint, but I just really like Memo.

So we now have the New Jersey Jazz (DWill, Memo and Gaines) and the Chicago Jazz (Boozer, Brewer, Korver). At least we denied the Portland merger by stopping Milsap from joinging Matthews.

Now Locke wishes we could offer AK a one/two year deal at huge money.

There is some flexibility with the TPE. Can't combine it with trades, but can split it to take multiple players.

Can take a 5M player and then a 4M player later.


And since this happened in late December, the Jazz will have all season plus the first month of next season to see if a team wants to dump a good player.

This is the best comedy I've had in at least 3 days.

Love Memo, but this was necessary. Some of you act like you expected someone to give us something for Memo. Honestly, it's a desperate move on NJ's part.

 

[bluenote]

I am sad that he won't be able to continue making Kanter feel more comfortable, however.

I was thinking this as well. On the other side of it, maybe he will be forced to bond with the other guys and not rely on Memo

Good move. The same people who are hating this move would have been the first to call for Corbin's head if/when he would have taken minutes from Favors/Kanter. That trade exception could be huge.
