Still the thing I'm most flabbergasted by is the fact that the Pistons have 9 total 2nd rounders to trade and Utah couldnt get one out of this.

So then Mike is getting traded to NY right? couldn't think of a destination that was less likely.

It would be nice to be flush with second rounders... at very least when teams give up on cap space aspirations you can use them to offload contracts like Gay's.
SA also used a solid second and Thad Young to move into the late first round.
The Rockets would be the weird "what the ****" team for Conley. Young w/ no real PG play and may want a "leader" but they seem pretty committed to sucking ***.
We already had several TPEs per Eric Pincus at https://www.sportsbusinessclassroom.com/listing-the-current-nba-trade-exceptions/

I also would have thought Bogey would be a good enough chip to rid ourselves of Rudy Gay... if we had a roster spot to give him without dumping a young player I'd just hold on to him... but now he hurts the cap and roster space.
Would you guys do Mike, JC, Gay, Doke or JB for Westbrook straight up... no picks? It actually saves them a bunch of cash... alleviates our roster crunch and is like a 5-10 game swing in the win/loss column for us.

Agreed.
Jazz are saving like $7mil in this trade. Maybe they preferred that kind of flexibility moreso than SRP's.
At least they have enough financial leeway under the tax to actually use one of those TPE's this season if the opportunity presents itself.

If we are able to flip Olynyk for some value at the trade deadline, this deal might end up being okay. As of right now, it makes no sense to me.

Great point by Andy.
It's still strange to me we held onto our core non-star guys so long. Where the Jazz actually considering running it back? I thought they might be included in the Don/Rudy deals, but we held onto them so long now everyone has their roster set and wants to see what they got to start the season, not make deals.
