OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

You are assuming he would have signed that extension with us?

I think if he signed it with Houston, he would have signed it with us. We still would have had a couple nice pieces to play with him.

If you give him the 5 year max, yes.

Rumor is that KOC and Dennis Lindsey took the day off today...

He was restricted. I believe he would have.

Every day, every team without a real franchise player (which is, what, 25 now after the post LBJ league-wide catastro****?) wonders what their team would be like with a real franchise player. That should be every organization's first priority. You get them by either:

-being aggressive on the market (a la Houston, whose single-minded fury and patience to get a real star finally happened after years very publicly trying and which isn't the way the Jazz work at all)
-being invested in acquiring young talent (generally via the draft, and commonly requiring bad seasons along the way) AND giving those players opportunities.

The Jazz model of reactionism, shrugging, refusal to give up anything in a deal, and essentially complacency with good but everything short of great veteran talent won't put you into contention. Ever.

Wish I could pos you again.

Yeah I am starting to wonder if anything will happen that is Jazz related. I am feeling that they will stnad pat.

I'm going to be pissed if it comes out that we could have had Bledsoe for any combination of Millsap and picks.

When its quiet Jazz make a trade right?

It feels wrong to be so disappointed by a charitable event.

Koc and Lindsey playing checkers and eating pop tarts today per ESPN.

What do you think the Jazz company line will be after the trade deadline? "We like where were at", "we think we are in a great position to make the playoffs", "we like our players too much to do a deal", "no comment..."
