The first round pick was always a hangup for me. I imagine DL felt likewise.
As HH has mentioned before, Mirotic may be plenty available for the Jazz to get in the offseason if the Pels bring back Cousins.
They will be at 128M with only 10 guys if the bring back DMC and Niko.
LT bill would be insane for that market. Could stretch Ajinca and maybe find some suitors for Moore or Hill I guess.
We will see.
So in essence we know what we offered, right? I mean... every rumor turned right - we didn't want to give up Hood, we didn't want to give up first. They took less than a first(had to send back a second and a seconds swap) while absorbing a huge albatross. The value that would get beat by what CHI got is a second + expiring. My guess is this. We offered a second and Joe Johnson.

We didn't offer Hood. From Chicago reporters the rumor is Chicago wanted Hood, but the Jazz didn't want to give him up for Mirotic. And I agree. Hood should have higher value than disgruntled Mirotic demanding to be traded.I wonder if we offered Hood. Hood and AB or Hood and JJ... I would think we could get a first rounder for Hood but who knows.
Their first does have more value than ours because there is no way we’d give it with just limited protections.
