OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

I'm guessing that now we'll see more Burks and Kanter and less Sap, Al, Foye and Marvin. Vet showcase is over.

At least we don't have Josh Howard and CJ Miles this year. Huh? Progress, I think.
 
I figured the Jazz wouldn't make a move. But lets discuss something that could play out of this. What in your minds does this do to the young core in wanting to play here? Come contract time, you better believe that teams and agents will remind these young guys how the Jazz didn't believe in them to be "starter" quality. I fear of the mindset this outcome will put them in.
 
Looking at the deals that did happen, the biggest names to move JJ Redick and Tobias Harris.

A bunch of whatev deals: Brewer and Maynor for 2nd-round picks, etc.
 
Disappointed we didn't land Bledsoe, but impossible to be angry without knowing what the Clips demands were. Hope there's leaks to the discussions. I'm very curious.

Getting opportunities for your potential, actual franchise players is not a lateral move. Or have you not been paying attention?

So you wanted the Jazz to trade Jefferson for a wing player, then, who, at 10 million dollars or more, would be better than Hayward and Burks, and thus they'd get more bench time, all the while leaving the frontcourt thin. Gotcha.

"We have a big ol' boner for washed-up vets"
"how would we play kanter less than 10 minutes per game?"
"Randy and Earl told me they wouldn't like me anymore if Bledsoe took their minutes"
"Maybe when Kanter turns 30 he'll have some of that rare 'veteran savvy'"
"at least we got rid of CJ miles"
"We decided that it was best to keep Paul and Al around to help Kanter improve his English"

Think I covered all the bases.

Missed one: "Sometimes the best trade is no trade"
 
The hilarious part out of this whole thing is that two good showings at home against two slumping playoff teams (OKC on the road anyway) probably nailed the coffin on any deal being made.

Should be fun around here once Utah starts their next road trip.
 
I implore all of you to watch the games on TV if you want, but please, don't attend any more this year. Only way the ownership will get the message.
