Utah Trade Deadline Discussion

Crowder and Rose (even just to cut him) both qualify as guys that weren’t on the radar. Interested to see if there’s any other moves made today.

Still think that Burks needs to head out for the benefit of both sides
 
Trade clean up: Cavs sent Kings $2.1M in cash, Jazz sent Kings $1.1M cash & Cavs agreed to second-round swap rights with Utah in 2024. Cavs also got rights to Arturas Gudaitis from Sac & traded rights to Dimitrios Agravanis.
 
We got swap rights for Clevelands second round pick in 2024... now this is a home run.
 
Just because a team has a free agent they want to keep doesn't mean they keep them. You're forgetting teams like Houston, the Bucks and so many more that have space. If they use that space on their free agent, then so be it. Doesn't mean they don't have space.

You are only considering the teams that have absolute space right now but you aren't counting everybody. If you count everybody, it's like 20 teams.

This just absolutely isn't true. Houston has $88 million on the Books for 2019, not counting non-guaranteed or any cap holds.

I agree. Crowder has been discussed for a while now, but nobody really thought that deal was going down especially not like that.

Burks going would be so great for him and us.

Dude, Basketball Insiders is on it. Just open the link. http://www.basketballinsiders.com/houston-rockets-team-salary/

Sure, they will add more salary this summer through Capella and others, but as of this moment they, like most of the league, has enough money for one major (not necessarily max) contract in 2019. And that doesn't even include stretch players.
 
I'm extremely happy the Jazz didn't lost Hood for nothing. It was obvious, just looking at their cap situation, that they weren't going to re-sign him next year. I would have rather had a 1st round pick rather than Crowder, but at least we got something.

My god. I fear for or franchise if DL ever has to deal with Ainge. He got schooled by a rook.

Changing it from max space to "major contract space" is different bud. It is extremely valuable, especially if you are winning AND have the max space.
