OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

‏@NBAGuru
One thing worth noting: sign-and-trades much easier to complete with new CBA. Teams with cap room have way less urgency to make moves NOW.

@NBAGuru
Under-the-cap teams like MIL, MIN, ATL, UTA, PHX could stand pat tomorrow, and it's partially because they retain flexibility come July.

‏@NBAGuru
So that could mean a quieter trade deadline, but the flipside is it would mean a CRAZY summer with so many FAs and so much $ out there.

anyone pay this any credence?
 
The Jazz have stockpiled asserts so they can do...nothing.

But with all that flexibillity they COULD have done something, if they really wanted. Ya see the Jazz are kind of like a horder, they always believe that their stuff is going to be more valuable in 4 months.

Yup. The best examples are AK, Boozer, the NY pick (although that is turning out ok), and the GS pick.

Now, we have a ton of FA's, will have a ton of cap room, and there aren't any FA's to spend the money on. At this point, it would be better for that Jazz to take on a bad contract with a couple of years for a promising young player then to let everyone walk and bring in another Howard/Williams or resign Foye for more than they are worth.

Crazy....
 
Also, why is it there are no trades that make Utah better, but Houston, Toronto and others keep making trades that make them better with less valuable pieces?
 
There Are obviously good trades to be had. Morey makes one after another. I like the analogy of old man Conner being a hoarder. I think it makes perfect sense.
