The problem with the Jazz thinking this will be a tank year that will pay dividends later is that the core 5 are better than the front office believes .they think we were competitive because of Jefferson and milsap and now think its tank time without them.problem is they are wrong and this tank team will be good enough to ruin their tank dreams.I dont like this deal at all.its stating they dont think the core 5 are as good as last years jeff-milsap team.

They will bring Barnes off the bench as a 6th man and go small when they bring him in as a PF.

Getting two late 1st round picks helps set us up for 10 years? Losing Jack will hurt them a little, Barnes can just slide over to PF for Landry's minutes, where he excelled at late last year anyways.
We've still got no bench bro.
Cannot believe people are complaining about this. This is a home run. Yeah, this year is going to be ruff. But isn't that what we've been asking for? Tank4Wiggins? Next summer we will once again be WAY under the cap with two first round picks, many future 1st and 2nd rounders plus a ton of young talent. Add all that up and you have serious fire power to move up in the draft and get your franchise player. Not to mention what, four or five expiring contracts! That alone could net us ANOTHER first round pick. Dennis is a mad genius! Stoked the Jazz have the nuts to tank while giving the kids major minutes with a plan for 2014.
We gained multiple pics, cap space next summer, expirings, Rush and two washed up vets for... wait for it... Murphy. How is that not a home run?

Listen, that money had to be spent. Lindsay spent it on two 1st round picks and rented a backup big and shooting guard for one year. I like that a lot better than just passing out bonuses to our players at the end of the year or signing FA to multi-year contracts.

maybe that is why jazz didnt want to play young guys last year
didnt want to give them too much experience so they could probably tank this upcoming year
Yer dreamin, fella.

no doubt the team this year is going to suck
look at our ****ing bench
we will have the same problems portland had last year
good young starters, but a bench that is going to struggle to score.
bench is hte key to the tank
lead us to the wiggins jefferson.

We will grow, not win, with Trey starting this year. We'll take our lumps this year, but the foundation will be set to add a key free agent and/or a top rookie next year.
"Why This Trade is GREAT:
1- Our Young Guys are OFFICIALLY taking over. The only player we took on that might play major minutes is Rush. We also will be handing the keys to Burke.
2- We really didn't give up anything. For those of you worried about how we spent the $26 mill, what better could we have done with the money? Would you have rather signed a veteran to take time away from Kanter, Favors, and Burke?
3-We get all that cap space back NEXT YEAR! We didn't take on anything long term. This means that if there is a FA we want next year we might be able to get him (because we sure weren't getting anything good with the $ this year. Would you of rather signed Big Al or Millsap? Maybe Mo Williams?)
4- We're making sure that we won't be very good next year. This helps our chances of getting Wiggins, Gordon, Randal, Smart, or Jabari.
5- Late first round picks have value if you have a good GM. Lindsey will find talent with a pick in the mid 20s. Look at what he did in San Antonio.
I think everyone was simply mad because we didn't get Klay or Barnes, but that was never a possibility. They weren't going to trade their expiring contracts and Barnes just so they could sign Iggy. That doesn't make any sense at all."

Denver won 57 games last year, I doubt they get to 50 without Iggy. But also Thompson and Barnes will continue to improve rapidly. They still have a shot at Dwight in a sign and trade as well.
