Warriors and Jazz Mega Trade

Why This Trade is GREAT:

1- Our Young Guys are OFFICIALLY taking over. The only player we took on that might play major minutes is Rush. We also will be handing the keys to Burke.

2- We really didn't give up anything. For those of you worried about how we spent the $26 mill, what better could we have done with the money? Would you have rather signed a veteran to take time away from Kanter, Favors, and Burke?

3-We get all that cap space back NEXT YEAR! We didn't take on anything long term. This means that if there is a FA we want next year we might be able to get him (because we sure weren't getting anything good with the $ this year. Would you of rather signed Big Al or Millsap? Maybe Mo Williams?)

4- We're making sure that we won't be very good next year. This helps our chances of getting Wiggins, Gordon, Randal, Smart, or Jabari.

5- Late first round picks have value if you have a good GM. Lindsey will find talent with a pick in the mid 20s. Look at what he did in San Antonio.



I think everyone was simply mad because we didn't get Klay or Barnes, but that was never a possibility. They weren't going to trade their expiring contracts and Barnes just so they could sign Iggy. That doesn't make any sense at all.

Jazz could have held out for Barnes if they were patient. Problem is, this shows Lindsay is committed to the Four. Lindsay saw that despite the fact that he was jerked around by Corbin most of last season by a ****ty coach, Burks still had a superior PER than Barnes, despite Barnes being given consistent minutes and green light by coach from day one. And Hayward is simply a better player than Barnes. No reason to bring a young Barnes in and risk the coach making more stupid playing time decisions and stunting the future of the better player.

any team that wants to tank and has cap space would have done the same deal we did.

yeah, not that iggy isnt a good player but

they still have a huge whole when it comes to defense in the middle
 
The problem with the Jazz thinking this will be a tank year that will pay dividends later is that the core 5 are better than the front office believes .they think we were competitive because of Jefferson and milsap and now think its tank time without them.problem is they are wrong and this tank team will be good enough to ruin their tank dreams.I dont like this deal at all.its stating they dont think the core 5 are as good as last years jeff-milsap team.
