The Official Fire Lindsey Thread

Thank you, sir. Are you not able to respectfully disagree with someone without insulting them? Now that the dust has settled and I'm over the initial shock of getting back absolute garbage from GS, I don't think this is a terrible move, but I don't think it's a genius move, like the rest of you. I see how it could work out favorably, but it puts us exactly where we were last year with Jefferson and Millsap (who were better players and would have had more suitors and arguably could have yielded more in return), yet we did nothing with those expiring contracts. I suppose one could argue that not doing anything enabled us to pull off this trade. If we got back one good player with upside, I would have have been happier. No need to insult people though is there?

This puts us in the same situation where we were with Jefferdad and Paul Millie?

What?

I understand the disappointment, but we did get 4 draft picks. I would MUCH rather have a 1st rounder on a rookie contract than backups making $5M or more. If just 4 of the C5 develop, we're going to end up paying big money to keep them, In fact, Utah could very well face a "Harden-like" situation where Lindsay has to let one leave as a FA. And in case that happens, having an extra 1st-rounder in 2017 could be pivotal.
