Trade deadline discussion

Lol. What a slander of hh’s points.

I didn't even bring up the big one... where if we were so convince Mike was gonna work out there was an opportunity to do a renegotiate and extend. He may not have wanted to so it may not have been a consideration... but coming off a rough year I would think he'd at least be interested in locking in another $50-60M ish.

Prediction...as long as Ryan Smith is the owner the Jazz will buy a pick with cash considerations.. this year he will do that and trade the pick for a future pick. That is one way to start generating trade capital again. So this for a few years in a row and you can make some moves. It would cost a ton but it allows the Jazz to keep winning and have options to shed salary and get cost controlled contracts.

They are talking like Austin rivers may be bought out. He could be a nice 9-10 guy

History... Ryan sent our 2027 2nd round pick to Cleveland to offload a $340k cap number and get a little cash.

Things are mercurial for a new owner. I give him a year to get things consistent.

I'm trying not to ruminate about this too much (and am totally failing), but had they been able to do that, there was a path to having sufficient cap space to sign Wood outright. It ****s me up. He's getting paid not much more than Favors and that is absolutely nuts.
