OFFICIAL: Trade Deadline Thread

Thank goodness we're not trading Burks for Ridnour. Ridnour isn't a good defender either. I have faith in Kevin O' C.
 
The Burks for Lidnour trade isn't happening but it stinks like a trade the Jazz would do. And that is what scares me.

Watch them Trade Enes and Burks for Ramon Sessions and Hakim Warrick or something. The sad part is, it wouldn't suprise me.

Somedays its hard to be a Jazz fan.

Remind me the last time the Jazz made a terrible deal and didn't have the salary cap excuse.

I wonder who other amnesty candidates are. The Jazz could be big players in that area.

Off the top of my head.....

Biedrens, Tyrus Thomas, one of the three overpaid wings in Sacramento, Bargnani if they can't find a trade partner, Drew Gooden. Can the Lakers do it to Gasol?
 
Nobody respects this thread.

People starting trade threads right on the official trade threads turf.

This thread needs to stop bein a bitch and flex its muscle a lil' bit.

Tell us which trade are you referring to that would make you think this?

Trade? Look at all of KOC's moves since Greg took over, trades and FA acquisitions. When has he taken a risk to make the team a playoff contender? Playing Alec at the point is a risk, Ridnour is safe.

This trade would be Safe, reactive, solves a short term problem, 'high character guy', veteran, probably ensures the Jazz make the play-offs, low risk bringing him in, he would fall in line behind Ty & Al's leadership.

Lidnour's Hoopshype profile:
Excellent shooting stroke... A threat from beyond the arc... Looks for his shot first... Very creative at that... Excels in transition game... Quick hands... Lacks strength... Overmatched physically... No mean streak... Very poor defender.

I asked for an example.

And I asked you for one. So we are even.

I said it is a nice safe reactive move and that is how KOC has opperated since Greg took over and maybe longer.

The only real risk he took in recent years was trading away an All-star point gaurd who was shopping himself to other teams, and complaining about the coach and managment and then only after nobody would take AK off his hands. A totaly reactive move that traded a guy with some attitude for a rookie and a lamb.

Every player he has recently acquired is a soft nice guy. With the exception of Bell, who was a move of desperation after Mathews was gone, and the market was bare..... and Bell didn't last.

The best part of Jefferson to SA is the foot-kissing we'd get to see from Al to Duncan. Think last year's playoffs were bad? just wait until they're team mates.
 
Jefferson for Boozer and the Bobcats pick (Traded Tyrus Thomas to Bobcats for Ronald "Flip" Murray, Acie Law, 2012 first round pick (protected top 14 in 2012, top 12 in 2013, top 10 in 2014, top 8 in 2015, unprotected in 2016) (?-?) on 2010-02-18)

We can have our NY pick experience all over again.

Mo isn't just some soft nice guy. Very good trade on his part. And Foye is someone KOC has always liked and wanted to sign. I thought KOC made some good moves this offseason, and getting Carroll last year has turned out to be a great find. Also don't forget the jazz matching Portland's toxic offer sheet to Millsap, and at the time we still had Boozer and Memo with big contracts playing ahead of him.

One thing you need to remember is we are a small market. The jazz have to be careful about the contracts we bring in, and be careful about the risks we take. If LA or NY make a mistake, their teams are set back a year or two. If we screw up, well I refere you to AK's contract, and how we were strapped because of it. Giving AK. A max deal was a big risk, and we paid for it. For all we know maybe we might've been able to improve that team to keep DWill happy, but that's just speculation.

Oh and btw OKC had to get rid of James Harden (3rd pick) and Jeff Green (5th pick) to produce a team whose salaries matched up with a sustainable core.

Westbrook and Durant have proved they are worth near max contracts, which is why they had to get rid of Harden. Favors/Hayward shouldn't demand the type of money that WB and Durant got, so I don't see why we wont be able to keep all 4 past their rookie deals...assuming they're worth it.
