Trade Confirmed: Jazz get jack for Bogey

[Handlogten's Heros]

Wasn't this an obvious thing that was going to happen?

No... ideally you trade him for an expiring or into someones space. He is owed 6M each year for this year and next.

You're not going to get assets for every player, mang. Bogey is 33, going on 34 with a wrist that was surgically repaired.

And we already have a decent load of assets. Lee could be a surprise too. We'll be alright, no need to overreact. We know we're tanking. Just roll with it.

Good attitude to have imo.

I think conley and jc are gone.

I don't. I think if we had offers we found acceptable maybe.

 

[fishonjazz]

I feel like the front office knocked it out of the park with the Rudy and Don trades, and also got great value for Royce, but the Bogey and Beverley trades just don't make sense to me.

MT Steve gave us the answer to why it went this way.

I don't. I think if we had offers we found acceptable maybe.

Maybe if someone offered the just-right player that Danny likes but is obviously way worse and with no draft assets, the value will be right. That seems to be the template:

"OH GEEPERS MR! AN AFTERTHOUGHT WITH CATASTROPHIC HOLES TO THEIR GAME BUT I JUST SUBJECTIVELY LIKE? NO, PLEASE, I DON'T WANT YOUR PICKS."

The teams that messed this up the most are the teams that didn't land Bogey... They likely get a second chance at the deadline with Detroit make us look dumb though.

Detroit may think they have their young pillars now and don't need to be bottom feeders.

Cade
Ivey
Bey
Bogey
Duren/Bagley/Beef Stew/Nerlens

also have AB off the bench... maybe that is a fringe play in team?

Wait, Detroit has AB? That is the most valuable info in this thread so far. I know what box scores I will be looking at next season now.

I need to go make a big bet on the Jazz over 23.5... if they go under I'm happy they got good odds.... if they go over I made some money.

Bingo

So... Good trade (Rudy), Bad trade (Bev), Good trade (Mitchell) Bad trade (Bogie)...

...the next trade should be a good one!

 

[fishonjazz]

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.

I think danny still going to throw a few more away for nothing.

 

[NUMBERICA]

So... Good trade (Rudy), Bad trade (Bev), Good trade (Mitchell) Bad trade (Bogie)...

...the next trade should be a good one!

I really think the jury is still out on the Mitchell trade, tho...

 

[NUMBERICA]

Gonna tell myself the strategy is juice trade value on the vets we have left and somehow turn it into something but maaan this **** suuucks.

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.

I would do it. Tank Note
