Trade Confirmed: Jazz get jack for Bogey

The line is at 23.5? If Beasley, Markkanen, Sexton, Conley, and Clarkston all stay on the roster; then that would probably be a little low. Danny will have to throw a few more away for nothing first.

Exactly.
 
Detroit is set up fairly nice right now... if Ivey or Duren end up being good they have most of their own picks... a little extra draft capital and infinity cap space next year.

I was most definitely wrong that we wouldn’t take an inferior deal. You got me.

I think we fell into a few traps on this one...

-Misreading the coming cap environment. Long deals aren't necessarily all that toxic.
- Likely didn't want to stack picks in 2023 when we already have 3 and have some roster spots committed to young guys like Ochai and Kessler... the old "you can't bring in X amount of rookies lolz"
- Finally the GM getting one of "his guys".

if we don't do another deal with the slight financial flexibility we gained then its a ****** trade and not some part of a master plan. When the owner ends up pocketing those savings folks better not come back here talking about how "nothing turned up" or "they will re-invest those dollars elsewhere". The Ingles trade was a credit card deal to save 12M last year. We got an inferior player at a position of "need" who makes less money. That money factored heavily into the decision. I do think we should avoid the tax this year but you can find other cheaper ways to do so rather than giving up you best veteran piece. This does kind of kick the can down the road if we did a deal involving KO midseason I guess.

As it sits I give the trade an F.
 
On top of hating this trade for the Jazz, I also hate that we sent Bogey to Detroit. I wish we could've sent him to a contender, or at least a playoff team. I'm glad his contract expires after this season.
