Rayjon Traded to Cleveland for $$$

[infection]

Three years ago I said DL was a top 3 GM. For a couple years I stood behind that even though we disagreed on many different things. This past year has had me really frustrated with our massive blind spots. I could have predicted the essentially standing pat moves this offseason, but even I didn’t think they’d be capable of the absolute ****-show of fringe moves we’ve made in the past 10 days. Holy ****.

Gail made the only smart off-season Jazz move.

We could’ve saved a hell of a lot more money trading Conley for OPJ.

It seems we are in “the spend money and assets to get rid of our awful bench”-game phase.

I lol’d. She sold high and did well, that’s for sure! And kept a minority interest.

I actually 100% agree with this take even though it was is jest. Gail made a solid financial decision for her future.

It might be one of those 2nd rounders that are likely to never convey.

Why include it then? We sent a player... they have to send something more than cash not us... so they can send us some BS rights or a never conveying second rounder. Would love to get the whole story on this and other trades.

Does anyone know where exactly we stand vis-a-vis the luxury tax? I assume we'd like to get under it, probably more to not have the repeater clock start ticking this year than for the sheer $ of it. But I've seen conflicting stuff about if we're over or if we're now (in place to be) under.

I doubt this deal signifies much, other than that the Jazz weren't going to keep Tucker, and they did him a solid by sending him to the Cavs.

Maybe the Jazz want just a wee bit of wiggle room to offer slightly more than the vet minimum to a player.

I hope you're right - this is not the season to have open roster spots. One or two guys get hurt and guy or two gets COVID and all of a sudden you're scrambling.

I’d have no problem with that. My issue is that we’re throwing seconds into deals like they’re tickets to Bees games.

I mean, it's pretty clear this is a financial move.

You said you were confused just one page ago.

Front office is smart to give out picks that the next front office can’t use.

Bunch of donkeys.
