Uh the Jazz are not trying to win right now. It is a move for the future. Trey Burke this year, hopefully one of Wiggins/Parker/Randle next year. This was a great step in the rebuild. The days of being mediocre are over.
 
I'm just hearing the news so there's a lot I'm missing. From a basketball perspective this makes sense. Financially, however, isn't $24 million a hefty price to pay for a couple picks? I would rather parlay the salary savings from this year into keeping our nucleus in tact.

Why the hell are we helping out the warriors?

We're jerks that hold grudges, and want to give Mark Jackson enough rope to hang himself with

Why are we taking on all these garbage players?

Former all stars aren't always garbage. But even if they are, try to look at them as assets.
The Thriller said:
Why are we dealing for late 1st rounders? I thought they sucked? They're worthless? So why are we trading for them? So we can forever have a team of mid/late first round picks?

We traded up this year to get something good, why not next year?
 
All of these guys are expiring contracts, right? If so, this is a pretty good deal IMO. I also like Rush. We'll see how this goes. I am going to say it is nice that Paul is also not coming back now. Win-Win-Win!

thats not how salary cap works......

we still have a boatload of money to throw at Hayward and Favors we could give them both max extension or match any contract they sign in FA if we so desire

Jazz MUST spend up to 90% of the salary cap. Either by signing free agents or paying out to players on roster if the floor isn't reacehed. Jazz reach floor by getting two unprotected picks for essentially signing 2 guys to bloated one year contracts, which would have been the goal anyway without picking up the two firsts.

I'm not talking about salary cap. I'm talking about $24 million. These guys get paid real money.

Someone has refuted the salary floor recently. It doesn't apply in the new CBA, which means our franchise is now out $24 million.
 
We basically filled up our salary, got draft picks, and a better Marvin Williams.
Since this year coming up doesn't matter, we'll get rid of the ****ty contracts by next year enabling us to still keep flexibility.


So essentially we got draft picks + Rush for nothing.
Think about this though: Those picks are ****ing unprotected.
What if: Steph injures his glass ankles in 2014?
Or if Steph signs somewhere else in 2017? There's a solid chance that GSW are a ****ty team again in 2017.

Exactly. How is this a bad move? Maybe people wanted more. That being said, I think we made out pretty well considering we have all these guys for just a year.
