Trade Confirmed: Jazz get jack for Bogey

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Ainge is smarter at this than me, but I just don't understand this deal at all.

I'm with you mostly.

I think from what I can tell the Jazz really dont want long-term salary back and I guess they wanted to do Bogey a solid by getting him to a team trying to win (but then why teh ****ing Pistons lmao).

It plays into my theory the Jazz are going to be going after UFA's sooner than most think. I think they will see the next UFA draft class as a bargain class since a lot of teams will be saving for the '24 class.

For a tanking team THT >>>> Shamet.

If we were a playoff team Id agree, take the player who has a more proven skill and could contribute in small amounts.

Andy Larsen said the Jazz had offers for (presumed) late first but it included long-term salary. Connect teh dots and he is likely talking about Shamet.

it could be Duncan too.

Shamet's deal has more upside than THT... if he starts hitting threes at a 40%+ clip and shows a little more on-ball then you have two additional guaranteed years you can decide. THT either sucks (most likely) and signs up for another year of sucking... or he plays well and bails or gets a raise.

Those are the exact ****ing deals we should be taking. We took THT without a pick lmao. Just dumb as ****.

It's been my theory for a while the Jazz arent going to do a long-term tank and will be looking to use cap-space to sign free agents and the future picks to trade for a star. My long held theory looks more right with this trade.

I’d MUCH rather have the Phoenix deal than this. Make no mistake this was about saving money. We got an inferior player and added another player to our 17 man roster.

Reading is fundamental. Shamets contract is essentially an expiring contract.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Yeah, I've tried to look it from as many angles a possible, and none really make any sense. Even if it was about saving money surely there was someone who could offer expirings + 2nds? Phoenix wanting to move Crowder for example?

It would take more than Crowder for Bogey though, I think it would take Crowder and Shamet.

No, it’s not. The last two years are non-guaranteed but the next two are guaranteed.

No it's not. He has 10 this year and 10 next year, then he can be waived the following year. That's not an expiring contract you ignoramous.

It really doesn't feed your theory but sure... We took on an additional 3M next year at the very least. If you are going to be a FA player you'd want more space.

Danny loves his Beantown Boys... so he brought back and old favorite. Ryan will also buy him lunch cuz he saved 5M or so... Zupas on the boss today!!!

 

[Elizah Huge]

The pick attached with Duncan must not have been good enough. Must have been their 2023 1st.

I think I would agree, but then again, I trust that Ainge has a plan for all of this and that the cap-space going into next year will be put to use and isnt just a Ryan money thing.

It would take more than Crowder for Bogey though, I think it would take Crowder and Shamet.

Saric could have been in there. In any case Shamet/Crowder plus a first is better than KO/Lee... Could likely flip Crowder for a couple mill in savings. Under your FA theory Shamet cuts into 6M (10M in his deal minus the 3M on KO's guarantee and a million roster spot hold) in space and you get a first. I'll take the extra first please.
