Except that's pretty much exactly what they did. The picks are going to be well outside of the lottery, meaning they have very little value. Perkins is not on our team. The international player is not an NBA player. The only situation that could have been worse, and marginally so, is if the Jazz would have simply cut Kanter.

We also got out of Novak's deal. this was 70 cents on the dollar deal... Oh well.

Just because the picks aren't great doesn't mean they are worthless. They clearly decided Enes would not be back, and that was that. If that was their decision, any return is a good return.

By the way, I'm pretty "meh" about the trade. I was excited when I thought it was Detroit's pick of this year, but OKC's protected pick in the future isn't too exciting. So to me it all hinges on exactly this issue--which free agent do they pick up in the summer with their cap space. And I'm willing to postpone making a decision on the merits of this trade until after I see that.

I kind of feel this way. DL gave himself a little more room so he better deliver. Next year I want W and I hope DL uses FA to land players that will help in that. Time to dleiver DL
 
Im kind of excited about seeing what Jerrett has... if he is a stretch 4 off the bench he is super cheap for the next 3 years after this one. Don't think he was just a filler.
 
So if I understand this correctly, we've traded our franchise player in part for a draft pick that became #3. We sit him on the bench in favor of playing someone else who we let go for absolutely nothing. Now we'll trade him for a lotta salary in return that we plan to buy out, a euro I've never heard of, a guy who's played 5 games this season and a draft pick that will be in the 20s.

Sounds reasonable.

This isn't even a desperation move. It's an apathetic move.
 
I'm thinking the other plan for the Jazz were to just let Kanter walk in the offseason so they could use the cap space. So this gets us some assists and cap space.
 
So a distant protected 1st round pick, and the rest is crap? Plus we end up spending money to buy out Perkins.

No promising young player?

Sure feels like we got fleeced.
 
Just found this image, lol.

Even if this is better than getting nothing, it's still a bad trade. Absolutely terrible value. I'm not sure what DL was thinking here, but he screwed this one up.

Maybe they did. Kanter put them in that position with his public "trade me" move. If he were good like Dragic he might be able to fetch more value. He isn't, so the Jazz got what they got. It sucks, but he was the one who opened his mouth and got this ball rolling.
 
Remember the "distant" 1st round pick we had from NY that turned into G Time? 1st round picks are very valuable. DL plays the long game.

If they had decided they weren't going to bring him back this makes a lot of sense. I think it's pretty clear that's what they figured - rather have him out of here than try to make trades for the next year while he's on the QO eating cap.
