When we trade Bogey to Portland for Bledsoe and the Milwaukee pick "Jazz get the point of attack guard they have been looking for over the years... he was their first choice and will start day 1."
I'll bet we send a second to have OKC swallow our cat. From there you do a Conley 2 for 1 trade where you take back like 3M less... you buy a second round pick and save $1M (see the NAW second we sent doesn't matter... lolz you can always buy the 59th pick).
If we were trading them for future draft capital instead of actual players it makes the task much more reasonable. Could you get a first for Mike if you took back some bad salary? Bogey could be cashed in for a first for sure... Royce for a couple good seconds... all of these deals are likely available... and none will do anything for us with our organizational goals.
Bro the 56th pick could easily land you a Lu Dort. Like, if you had three picks at the end of the draft, you definitely come out of there with a player.
We were very high on Dort... had him in our top 61.
I was talking historically the Jazz have been too loyal/conservative in their approach. Yes the one year they signed both Conley and Bogie was the exception.
But we never seem to. Six misses with 2nd round picks in two drafts.
They also added an unprotected pick in 2027, who knows what will be going on with Denver 5 years from now. I don't think OKC wanted to draft 3 players this year, they did the same thing last year.
It’s a protected pick.
Well if you expect this kind of behavior every year to be normal behavior for the average org the ya, the jazz are conservative. They aren’t. Getting Mitchell. Trading up for Burke, purchasing Gobert. Trading Williams for a haul. Getting rid of Sap and Al to make way for the young core. The only real conservative era was the Stockton Malone Era, but those were the best teams the jazz ever had not much reason to be aggressive.
Left out signing Okur and Booz
We've ran it back with the exact same, flawed roster for 3 years.
