This cap space stuff the Jazz are selling isn't what you think it is. We'll probably re-sign Al, bring in a low level pg, and thats about it.

I know, but yeah the free agent market for the PG position is not very good after Paul. We have a better chance of winning 10 championships in a row than getting him. Best unrestricted are Calderon, Jack, and Udrih. I wonder if there is any chance we may not make an offer to Brandon Jennings (restricted)
I'd have rather given up Hayward and Millsap for Bledsoe than offer 8-10 mil to a guy like Jennings. Yuck.
Listening to Lindsey now.. seems like our draft positions at 18th and 19th (currently) played some parts in their decision on not going ahead with some trades.
They must have some confidence on those picks to not give up those picks for Bledsoe (if that is in fact the case).

Noo... he didn't mention the Bledsoe trade thing.
He just touched on the fact that when they were making the decision whether to go ahead with trades, they look at who they could potentially get from the draft at #18 and #19 and what players and what positions they can fill with that.
He also mentioned they did that around a poker table. Whatever that means.
He said he felt good about our drafts as well as the upcoming FA period.
May be he's just being generic though.
He's also saying regarding trading that there's a distinction between: Volume trader VS Value trader.
Our position is we're a small market team, so we're "value trader" as it's hard to correct bad decisions.

Betting on late 1st rounders is a quick way to lose your shirt.
