OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

[The Midnight]

You ask for two reasons:

1) you show you aren't the team's lackey.

2) sometimes a GM answers the question.

The local hacks, especially 1280, don't have the guts to even ask.

If you plan to ask that, they don't come on the show. What would you rather have? Some info? Or none at all?

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.

You wish. I doubt it though.

You can't do better than that really...

Utah Jazz ‏@utahjazz
When talking about developing players, Dennis Lindsey mentions learning from how Popovich developed & played Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili.

Andrew Perna @Andrew_Perna By my calculations, today we saw 19 players, the rights to one and four second-round picks and a trade exceptions traded/used. #NBA


several of those trades were cap clearing. New CBA is doing something. If it benifits the Jazz is yet to be determined. I wonder if this summers FA crop is going to have a rude awakening.

Dennis Lindsey says Jazz were "very" popular at trade deadline.

This should help everyone feel better.

I can now sleep at night. Thanks Linsdey.

Agreed. Ty will play who he thinks give us the best chance of winning. Always been, always will be. All you can ask for is consistency.

Dennis Lindsey said getting Gordon Hayward back was trade-deadline acquisition for the Jazz. "Early returns on that were good."

Not to mention the impending trade-deadline acquisition of Mo Williams for Alec Burks.

Teams probably wanted to take advantage of the Jazz to stick them with unwanted contracts and scrubs, when losing Al or Sap for cap room might be more appealing.

True. May be they think that in the future there might be more Harden/Gay type deals out there to be had.

We don't know what's on their board. I bet they have these things all figured out before hand.

You know what's going to be fun? When the Clippers face us in the playoffs this year and Milsap beats them up.

By keeping both Millsap and Jefferson, the Jazz just made Favors' extension deadline one of the most interesting dates in Jazz history. How can they possibly determine his value?

By someone else willing to offer him more $.
