Yes, explain why we should have to give up assets for someone out for the year when said player is not an all-star nor close to it? Normally the team trading said player attaches assets with them.
If we traded two first round picks for a guy with one leg, people would lmao their asses off at us and be right.
We couldn’t even get a Tony Bradley late first for Bogey but we should give up 2 for Lonzo lmao.
Lonzo might never be an All-Star because All-Star is typicallly a stat driven award, but his impact level is that of an All-Star. Truly one of the most unique players in the NBA who can play alongside anyone, be an elite defender, make everyone around him better on both ends, and a high level volume 3pt shooter.
Bogey is a 35 year old on an expiring deal and the Jazz wanted to not take long-term salary back. They arent comparable scenarios.
You are also dealing with a limited amount of teams if you are talking about late first. Not every team can be like "Yeah we have a late first to give you".
Let me frame this in a way that will make it palatable for the people who are against it:
Would you trade a single late first (25th or lower, along with the vet players most dont want here) for a guarantee that the Jazz would have a bottom 3 record vs possibly being the 8th worst record?
Would you trade a single late first (25th or lower, along with the vet players most dont want here) for a guarantee that the Jazz would have a bottom 3 record vs possibly being the 8th worst record?
Bogey barely just turned 33 weirdo. He’s not out for the entire ****ing season. He would fit in and help any team in contention on offense.
Well I guess teams who had late first to offer didnt really see it that way, or they wanted to attach long-term salary back (yes these are the facts but still keep making stuff up pls)

Its not. Basically they either botched the surgery the first time or have no idea what is going in and this is the exploratory surgery they hope will correct the issue or discover the problem. It may be a minor procedure but he's got a major issue.
Lmao
Yet teams are chomping at the bit to offer 2 firsts for Lonzo. You are something special.
Time will tell. Pain management isnt a fully understood thing. The doctors say his knee is structurally sound. Give him the year, let him rebuild his confidence in his knee and figure out what works. It's worth the risk.
I’m also wondering what I made up. We couldn’t get a first for Bogey but we should trade 2 for Lonzo. Not sure how that is making anything up. Dude is one of the worst posters on the board when he digs in on some stupid **** like this.
I think a lot of teams would. I dont think Lonzo is on the trading block for that kind of offer.
Obviously if a team didnt have many picks they wouldn't do it, but there are a handful of teams with a ton of picks who can afford to take that risk.
Yeah but we can. I just told you that really good vets on expiring deals can be had for a late first but you just wanna lmao.
I also remember this clown saying we weren’t trading Rudy or Donovan and that he was 100% convinced Bogey was getting traded to the Knicks. Some of the dumbest **** I’ve ever heard.
Andy Larsen reported late first were available for Bogey but we had to take back salary. Yes, you made up the false report that the Jazz could not get back a late first for Bogey.

You also have to present the upside and downside of Lonzo here to be fair.
I mean if we wanted to send a pick to trade Mike then Lonzo may not be the only candidate. Maybe we could trade Mike with a first for expiring salary on guys we just waive... in that scenario we free up $14M+ in cap space while having the same effect on our record.
