Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

Elizah Huge said:
I think one of two things happened with the majority of people here.

1. They overrated the **** out of our own players.

2. They assumed we were getting two unprotected firsts from the Lakers for a starter and two bench players.

I can understand the frustration if you believed either one of those. I think we scrounged up 75 cents and turned it into a dollar.

Guys let’s be honest here, even the people that love this trade are either willing or unwilling to admit they fully thought the pick was and should be unprotected.

Finding out it wasn’t and that it would turn into a 2nd is a major letdown.

We are elite at making minor strawman arguments on this board, but let’s all just agree on this one fact, whether you like the trade or not.

It seemed like what you were saying. It came across as “we did so well on the gobert trade, why would anyone be upset that we lost some of that haul for an underwhelming return.”

The trade we did today is good or bad based on todays trade. The gobert trade has no effect on todays trade being good or bad.

Maybe you can explain it better or differently? I mean im trying. I give you the benefit of the doubt more than any other poster. I think you have the best basketball opinions and knowledge on here. But i just can figure out what you are talking about here. Sorry man

That’s super easy. I agree with that 100%.

Absolutely, it is a let down, but to me the ultimate goal from this is the chance at a much better 2023 pick. So, getting rid of these players for a ham sandwich would have been a break even for me, but we got the Lakers pick too. I’m easily pleased.

I think HH threw out a Conley/Olynyk/Gay trade for Westbrook and some seconds that I would have been happy with lol. Switch Olynyk/Gay for Beasley/Vando and we upgrade from seconds to a top-4 protected 2027 Lakers first. Sounds good to me.

I would have been happy with a mere 2027 pick swap.
 
If we bottom out really hard we MAY be able to catch the bottom 4 teams. But it should be easy to end up bottom 5.

Spurs, Hornets, Pistons, and Rockets all have 40+ losses. We have 29 now. The rockets have been turning a corner.

The magic and Pacers have 2 and 4 more losses than we do now.

We are officially in the dark horse spot for a top 3 pick. Perhaps we sold Silver on helping the Lakers out for a bit of lottery ball love.

Its 30 games of misery for:

Possibly a draft pick in 2024
A MUCH BETTER 2023 pick in a loaded draft
$60 million in flexibility

Danny should make additional moves to sell of pieces now. Whydufuh not?
