Lindsay didn't "make" them conference champs. He got rodney hood and a future pick for taking cap space, but them getting iggy doesn't really line up with us being a good team anyways. He is pretty old now.

Kanter makes sense, but he was walking anyhow and we got a future first put of it no way were the jazz laying him for 22 minutes a night to not play defense.

We still facilitated massive improvements to two in conference competitors.

One was good for us.
One got us Tibor Pleiss.

Was. He is going down hill as the jazz are going up. How being the finals MVP while the jazz are in a lottery season isn't a huge deal to me, especially since it got us rodney hood.

Yup. We helped them out, but it doesn't really affect us near term. We're not contending. Meanwhile we were able to add Hood and pick up a couple of additional assets.
 
If we could get Jeff Teague at a decent cost, he makes a lot of sense for us.

What would Atlanta realistically command for him in a trade?

It's tough to give up much if he's just a one-year rental. If you extend him long-term, that throws a wrench in Dante's development.

I don't get this argument. If you get someone like Teague on a long term contract for a fair price, then if Dante blows up, you just trade him. It doesn't mess up Dante's development at all.
 
This thread should be stickied.

Also, check this out (from Hoops Hype: https://hoopshype.com/team/utah-jazz/)

Spencer Checketts: Dennis Lindsey says the Jazz were approached by a team offering a “good” veteran player on a “solid” contract in exchange for Trey Lyles. Jazz passed. 17 hours ago – via Twitter 1280Spence

This is interesting. Hope this means Lyles gets more playing time!

It doesn't at all. May actually help him to have a one or two year buffer.

And it's almost shocking how often this argument (and others which are similar) are put forward on this website.
