OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

So it's over then? It's really over and I'm supposed to cheer for this **** sandwich the rest of the year?

A little piece of me died today when the Jazz FO decided to do jack **** to get this team out of the past.

I'm not quite getting all the outrage. There are some true garbage teams in the NBA, and I am glad that the Jazz aren't one of them.
 
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.

Yet the Jazz could even make a simple trade like getting rid of Bell for a 2nd or trading Earl Watson for Maynor. Seems like other teams can make deals but Utah struggles making decisions unless they are forced to do so.
 
Nobody trading any player of major stock at all. No one wanted to buy those types of players today. Look at the whole picture.

The new luxury tax is a double-edged sword. It helps to level the playing field, but it definitely puts a damper on major in-season trades.

Yeah, some people on here are not very realistic. Be happy that the Utah Jazz, located in Salt Lake City of all places actually has a pretty good NBA team. That feat in and of itself is a miracle.

Who would give up second for Bell that could take Bell's 3.48 M contract? OKC got a better deal than a min vet salary for Maynor.
 
Its just beyond me how you dont trade either jefferson or Millsap. Why do the jazz need all this cap room? So they can try and sign a bunch of C list free agents next year? Maybe theyll land josh smith but who the hell wants him. I hate having my teams go to move be Al jefferson on the left block. Lets all pray to the based god that the jazz miss the playoffs get a good draft pick and fire corbin.

According to the FO's thinking, partially to resign all the young guns should they prove themselves, and also because by next year, there is going to be a lot of teams hard up for cap space to avoid the tax. Jazz, having the least committed against the cap, stands to gain from that free for all.
 
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.

I implore you to not implore me what to do. I probably won't hit up any more games this year anyway, but it won't be due to your imploring.
