You mean the Jazz couldn't just turn the trade override on?

I think most here wouldn't be too bummed about no deal. A simple change in the way minutes are distributed would be sufficient. A trade is only a secondary issue because it would force Corbin's hand. The frustration isn't with the deadline specifically, it's with the franchise direction.

Must spread the rep around

This. Well said. If Hayward were getting 30+, Favors 25 or more, Kanter and Burks 20 give or take per game, then I wouldn't have been so anxious for a trade. To me, the main advantage of the trade would be, essentially, forcing a reallocation of minutes to the youth so that we could at last begin in earnest their development for the future, which should have began in earnest last season. Now, I have to accept that nothing will change this season and, once again as I did during last season, content myself by hoping that things would change next season (which they did not). Based on the last two years, I find it hard to maintain my optimism that the Jazz brass will actually commit to the youth, and I fear that next year will be yet again more of the same. I guess, what I really wanted was a signal that the FO was committed to the youth, and my disappointment is less that we didn't make a trade than that the FO still appears unwilling to make this commitment. What reason have they given me to expect things will change? None that I can see. I find this quite discouraging.
