Trade Confirmed: Jazz get jack for Bogey

[Ineptimusprime]

If there were ever any doubt, the full on “deep tank” is upon us. This makes that very clear.

I'm not even sure it makes us worse... the drop off from Bogey to Lauri/Simone may not be as big as the drop off between Kessler/Doke and KO.

This is not a tank move imo. This hurts the tank.

I agree. Going by the performance this summer in EuroBasket and the World Cup qualifiers, Bogey was clearly the inferior player compared to Lauri/Simone.
This trade seems to clear up the situation who will be the first choices for the 3 and 4 positions (Lauri and Simone are pretty much interchangeable on them) while Olnyk at center should be a very good fit with both of them.

THT at least fit the youth movement. I doubt he turns out well, but we were still going to lack good youth at the guard spots if we traded with the Knicks. So why not give him a lot of burn and see if it doesn’t work out.

This trade blocks the youth movement of two young centers at the cost of our greatest remaining asset.

If it got us under the luxury tax I’d understand… but we were already under it. If KO was under 25 this could make sense too.

Great post.
This is a real head scratcher

Our young centers are *** lmao. If they are good enough they will find a way. KO isnt blocking anything if they have actual talent.

If our young center are **** then they should be getting all the minutes next season.

Next year maybe. He's non guaranteed next year.

He actually has 3M guaranteed next year.

@Handlogten's Heros is this a down payment?

No... I mean yes... Ryan now frees up some cash to make a down payment on that vacation home in Destin.

Let me put my super deep conspiracy theory cap on... hold on... something is coming in....

This was a trade to make a little noise to pull some of the news breakers off of the Udoka news.

Sorry its all I could muster.

WTF? It's a charity from our part. Also feel sorry for Bogey for going to Detroit, he deserves to be on a contender.

I guess the Jazz really didnt want Landry Shamet's ****** deal like I said.

Right... largely non guaranteed but yeah... not waiving him this year.

Detroit might flip him at the deadline for a 1st if they arent in playoff contention.

We wanted THT’s **** deal though which is worse? Lmao
