Memo traded to NJ

Exactly. Nets are able to fill the void left by Lopez' injury with a one-year rental. Jazz get minimal compensation because the trade helps them a ton financially - i.e. getting below the luxury tax line.

They were already safely below the LT.

They didn't, at least not in this forum.

Okur always guarded the post player on the other team, and did a decent job. Boozer guarded whichever big was more mobile, and did a less satisfactory job. That's why Boozer took more heat than Okur.

Okur always did a decent job? If Slothing around, and not jumping are your thing....

This kills The Nets. It takes them out of the running if Orlando decides to trade Howard as opposed to letting him go as an FA. And even if they can somehow swing a 3-team deal, they have less cap space that would have had to been used to take Turkoglu's contract off Oralando's hands - which will most certainly part of any Howard deal under the sun.

The only thing this marginally helps The Nets with is wins and losses - which is something they're not overly concerned with in a rebuilding year.

Lopez isn't done for the year (not yet, anyway). He's scheduled to be back before the trade deadline and he'd be the centerpiece in a trade for Dwight. Trading Dwight is not a financial move for Orlando, it's a pure necessity, so they want talent back primarily with all focus on financial savings secondary.

Besides that, the Nets are not in a rebuilding year. You don't trade your once All-Star PG and three lottery picks for a guy with a year left on his deal. NJ is win-now because if they don't, they just set themselves back a decade. Okur is a stop gap, and it was a smart move for them. Assuming Memo can play at all (and even if he can't, they had nothing resembling a C on that team).

Again, NJ is ALL IN. They are not rebuilding (right now).

Seriously, this all neg or rep thing is to funny, are you that upset that you need to cry and complain about it? Who gives a rat's *** if you have 0 or 10, not like it will make your posts any more valuable. If you could not comment anything constructive why would you suspect any different reaction anyway? What is there some kind of annual prize at the end of the year for poster with highest rep? I guess if it is so important to your self esteem and you are so sensitive about it I will not do it in the future just to save you some tears...I would hate to read in the news that some crazy jazz fan jumped of the bridge due to negative rep in internet forum.
 
Just wanted to throw something out there:

Everyone remember when LA traded Odom to Dallas for a TPE, and immediately people started saying, "Oh, they're gearing up to make a trade for Dwight, and they'll use this TPE to bring back Hedo". But once the dust settled people realized it wouldn't work because the TPE was only for $8.9MM?

Well we just got a TPE for $10.8MM and guess how much Hedo's contract is? What do you know, it's $10.6MM.

Just a little something to chew on during the holidays.

are you suggesting Jazz would bring Hedo? Why? He is even more washed up then Howard...and he is the most selfish chucker left in NBA.

In the alternate universe where the Jazz do make a trade to get Dwight, then they would have to bring back Hedo, so yes I am suggesting the Jazz would bring him back. Why you ask. Well to get Dwight Howard in a Jazz uniform. And just so you don't misinterpret this like my last post, this will not happen, but I'm bored so I thought I'd throw it out there.

What Howard has to do with Hedo? I am not sure I underestand your logic here. Howard will never play for Jazz so why even consider it?
