The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

OKC being too long term focused and being a little too high on their own supply gonna cost em a trip to the western conference finals. Didn’t want to make a move. Actually helped facilitate the trade of Gafford to Dallas. Could have absolutely put a bid in on Washington. Whoops.

Yep. I didn't understand why they didn't look to add a big at the deadline. The Hayward acquisition ended up being a waste.

I have to admit that I thought Dallas was screwed last year and didn't have enough assets to build around Luka and Kyrie. They've really done a masterful job of improving with limited resources. Drafting Lively, signing exum, trading for Gafford and PJ, they've all been great moves.

I’m really not sure why OKC bailed them out by giving them a first to get Gafford. Super weird decision.

They got a far out swap and got off of Bertans money… not sure if the last part was all wrapped in the same deal… but yeah why help an in conference team and not really look to address your own issues with the pile of assets you have?

Presti too obsessed with adding to the war chest instead of going for it. West is wide open and he might have blown a year by sitting on his hands.

Great finish for OKC all around!

Generational choke job by Dallas.

Clutch FTs from Chet.

What a terrible 2nd half by Dallas. Luka is just a shell and Kyrie was nowhere to be found.

It felt like Dallas got tired

Luka could barely walk by the end of that game.

Trading for Mitchell was such a dumb move for Cleveland. They would be just as good or better if they kept the team intact and then had all their picks to improve. Even if Lauri didnt make his big jump. But I am really glad we didnt end up with the NY package.
