I think we likely wait and see what we can do with our cap space first.
I’ve been heavily invested in online Jazz discussion since 2001, spending way too much time looking at all the ins and outs of what we can do to hopefully get back to the way I felt when we were in the finals (like we may actually win), and the difference between all that and my passion under the Smith/Ainge era has really sucked all the oxygen out of the air.

It was mostly me trying to get my **** together (school), but yeah, that trade significantly damaged my faith in what the Jazz are trying to do (but not as much as Ainge refusing to “take less” to do a proper tank job, and in the process send the piece that saved the Timberwolves [although that trade in a vacuum made sense]).
