They could have just waived Tibor to get the room, they did not need to trade picks. I don't think this was to extend multiple players.
Pleiss Traded to Philly!!!

No, they can't. Tibor would have been on the books if they had waived him. Now his salary is not and is available to be used in a renegotiate and extend.

So, does anybody want to continue to say that the Kanter trade was even an average deal?
We're gonna end up with a couple 2nd rounders, with a slim chance at a first rounder. Awesome.

Guys. This trade is simple.
Tibor sucks donkey balls. We didn't want him on the roster, and didn't want to pay him $3 million. In order to get a non-guaranteed contract that runs out soon, we had to give up a couple 2nd rounders so that Philly would take on Tibor's awful contract.
Kendall Marshall is not going to play here. Pretty simple.

Who cares? It was a year and a half ago, move on. Jazz are in an amazing place.
And what we get for the Kanter pick remains to be seen.

We just traded a main piece of the trade. It's relevant discussion.

major cap fail
Possible Reasons:
1. Greg Miller doesnt want to pay 3,450,000 it would take to cut Pleiss
2. The Jazz want the extra 3,000,000 in cap-room this year to rework Favors or Hill's contract.
No, we will get the first rounder this year. OKC will be a 6th-8th seed.
Or we will get it next year, I forget if we can get it this year.
Who cares? We needed to get rid of Kanter and we did.
Why do you assume that that cap space has no value?
If we have tossed in the towel on Tibor, why not create cap space? It gives us more choices. The incremental value of the excess 2nd rounders is close to nil when your roster is full and you only have so many players you can focus on developing.
Seems like a solid move, getting out of a commitment to Pleiss, which management clearly regrets at this point.
I lean towards the Jazz having another move in mind. Seems like a lot to give up just to free up 3,000,000 in space. Must be something going on.
Well the Jazz just traded one for 3,000,000 so they have some sort of value.
Kanter deal was great. We had no intent to give him a long-term deal, he did not fit our philosphophy and was disgruntled, so we gave up nothing, got more developmental playing time for Gobert, and possibly got a future first round pick next year.
Free agents walk for nothing all the time, which was our next best alternative to this deal.
The mistake was drafting Kanter, (or one could argue not developing him properly) not how we managed damage control.
I suggest you feel luke-warm-neutral. This trade matters very little in the broad scheme of things, overreactions aside. If they do something constructive with the cap space that makes the team better, then I suggest you feel on the happy side of neutral.
