Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

MT Steve said:
If we were going to tank, we should've started that process in October, not in February when we're at .500 and our absolute best case scenario tanking wise isn't even bottom 5.

Doubt there was much trade interest in Conley, Beasley, etc in August. We rehabbed their value.

Shut up and stop ****ing crying. You complain and cry about everything.

Sure looks like there was a ton of value to be had around the league huh. You think the Lakers would trade that first for 15 seconds? 20 seconds? The answer is no.

Honestly, I don't think I have ever seen him post something positive about the Jazz. Does he even like the Jazz?
 
MT Steve said:
The truly hilarious part is that if the Lakers are as awful as projected there's a fantastic chance the Blazers just got 5x the value for GP2 that we got for Conley/Beasley/Vanderbilt.

But don't take my word for it. Even the Utah Jazz subreddit which is a bastion for super optimistic/homerism takes universally hates this trade.

I know you don’t really understand how anything works since I had to breakdown the salary cap for you yesterday. Not only did we get a valuable first we got 30M off of the books for next year.

We are projected to have anywhere from 50M-80M of actual cap space this off-season now.

Go ahead and keep crying though that’s all you do.

I actually feel a lot better about the trade after watching today go down to the wire. High end trades mostly happened yesterday and today was leftovers and 2nd round picks. If the Lakers pick ends up being conveyed at all, it will be a good trade. I don’t love the protections, but we’re still WAY more likely to get that pick than not. Lakers could tank the eff out of that season and still fall out of the top 4 pretty easily. I think they’ll probably just try to be competitive tbh.

lol

Even other people in this thread who are for the trade agree that it wasn't for the value we brought back directly because that value was terrible.

I mean if that pick has a 52% chance at being in the top 4 then guess what? There is like a 48% chance its 5-8... which one of the second round picks traded today has that ability?

How anyone can watch how the deadline played out and think we didn't get enough is just something else.
 
I remember MT Steve arguing with everyone that getting down to 6th-8th was statically impossible and we are idiots for thinking so. I just looked up and we have 26 games to go and we are 2 games out of 6th.

Elizah's "breaking down the salary cap for me" was explaining how we would still be out of the luxury tax anyways next year because we could've just let Beasley and Conley walk for nothing instead of trading them now for little value.

This was in response to me saying one big motivator for the trade was so Ryan could get out of the luxury tax.

He literally argued for my point without even realizing it.
