Memo traded to NJ

[Archie Moses]

It's called rebuilding people.

 

[Stoked]

Question is whether this might be an immediate prelude to another deal, or just having the TPE going forward.

That is what I was thinking. I doubt it but the Jazz always play things close to the chest. So we wont know till something happens.

 

[Harambe]

Memo traded to NJ for a future 2nd and a trade exception.

But what do we use the exception on?

 

[Legatus]

makes sense. good trade.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

A bit saddening, since I like Memo, but not really a bad move at all. Kanter showed he deserved minutes, making the move acceptable.

I'm sure the front office wasn't thrilled with moving Memo the person, just with dumping Memo the contract.

We get rid of Memo's contract without using the amnesty, get more minutes for Favors and Kanter, and get a trade exception to perhaps aid in pulling off another big trade? Come on people, relax--we're rebuilding...or didn't you get the memo? (pun intended)

I get the argument for this: Get Kanter guaranteed minutes, clear salary, the TPE is potentially very valuable, and yeah we lose more so Lottery!

But (without another deal) we lose more. I don't want to lose more. I don't care about lottery.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

I'm surprised how many people hated this trade. We save 10M, get a 2nd round pick, AND a trade exception for a guy, imo, who should be our 5th big.

If they wanted to just dump his contract I am glad they got something for him instead of just amnestying him.

It just may help Evans too.

I love Memo, but this.

 

[Chris-L]

I hate to see him go. I also hated seeing him take up minutes the last 2 games. This is bittersweet. Poor Kanter is all alone in America now.

Evans is far from Memo. But yes, it helps Evans so long as there isn't another move.

 

[bluenote]

Call me sentimental, but I think we should have an AK appreciation thread and a Memo appreciation thread stickied for at least a week. Maybe have some prodigy videos on the first page of each......?.....?

 

[spycam1]

I am sad that he won't be able to continue making Kanter feel more comfortable, however.

 

[billyshelby]

Funny. Typically dumb Locke is now talking about Andrei to NJ when Hollinger is posting Andrei to NJ is dead.

 

[Shad]

We had to do this trade. It's obvious something had to be done and we didn't have to blow our am. on someone later.

 

[Inn Dawn]

If we traded Memo only to make room to sign AK I am going to ****ing shoot something.

Nah. I'd welcome it.

Well if the rest of the team reaches out to him then I think he will be ok. I hope they really form a strong bond. Helps with chemistry, locker room...

Locke is such a fanboy dressed up as an expert. He's just hilarious on KFan right now.
