Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

They aren’t giving him away for nothing. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you give him away for nothing? If they’re really that desperate to unload QUOTE]

I think Philly would send Thybulle and Korkmaz for the Ingles trade exception. Sure it costs us a lot of money, but do we want to contend or not?

If we did this deal, we could keep Don, Rudy and Bojan. Find a deal for Conley where we shave a little and add even more defense.

Why don't they just waive him now then? It'd bring them under the tax line.

Because maybe a better deal comes up… you don’t do that until you have to. You also want to make sure you are going to get the guy you are signing. If you need that salary match later for a better deal you feel dumb. To use MLE they have to get under and stay under the apron… roughly like 5M over the tax iirc.

It's unreal how quiet we've been

I think they have been in plenty of rumors… nothing big gets done until today… if you haven’t seen a Rudy trade between now and the draft I doubt it happens unless it’s the Toronto deal… which is less reliant on draft compensation.

Mike trade probably doesn’t happen until after FA opens because he likely isn’t the top target. Once teams miss on Brunson and Brogdon.

I’ve criticized this line of trend thinking for a long time, where we look at recent outcomes and correlate certain components of it in hindsight and then declare that _____ is the answer or _____ isn’t how you do things. Most recent example was with us having Deron and everyone saying “you don’t win championships around PGs lolololol.” History was not kind to that take.

The way you win championships is by being able to effectively play the hands you’re dealt and improve your position. Now, if you certainly want to argue why one should or shouldn’t move on from Gobert in that light, have at it, but the simplified “centers loooooooooooool” isn’t the best take.

Yeah but Steph doesn't count. He is an alien or something not even human, so you can't take that into the equation. Now when you look at other recent champs, you have like Irving....oh wait.

But your point is very valid. We are not going to "moneyball" our way to a ring. We can't statistically analyze all previous championship teams to plug into the equation to spit out our winning roster, sans Gobert and sans Mitchell, since short scoring guards and defensive centers don't win championships (except when they do). That is what Quin was trying all along, play the long odds, cater to the stats, work the numbers, and look where that got us.

Only Rudy has been mentioned in trade talks

Not to mention that Dray plays a lot of center and teams like Toronto platoon the position with Gasol and Ibaka… or Horford and Rob… who have salary allocations similar to what we pay Rudy. It can be a hindrance but GS also has ownership willing to spend like crazy… so while we offload picks to save a few million they don’t give a rip about paying Wiggins/Klay/Dray more than they are worth because they are truly all in. We would have traded Poole to offload Wiggins salary because if we paid that kind of tax we’d lose the team to another market (inside joke). Ownership is a huge competitive advantage.

A high dollar center can win a title, but titles are still won by wings.

Outside of Hakeem and Shaq, how many premier centers have won a title since Kareem? And as for Shaq, it could be argued that he wasn't even the best or most important player for 2 of his 4 titles. So since the 80's, 4 titles have been won by teams with centers as their most important player, and none in the last 20 years?
