Oh ****ing stop it. Jesus. Stop dragging down the discourse.

And yes, I’m aware I use swears and take a shot or two myself.

Well because you ask so nicely but if a Dante homer speaks foolishness I have to state reality. Utah is chasing greatness not fairy tales like Dante, but in this case dumbass DL made a mistake and we have to just go with it
 
Gotta admire the way Memphis is milking that Conley trade:

-2 1sts, Allen, Crowder, Korver, 25M TPE from us
-then they used part of the TPE to absorb Iguodala and GSW 1st
-then they used the rest of the TPE, Korver's contract to absorb Josh Jackson, Melton and 2 PHX 2nd round picks(which are likely to be good seconds because PHX is trash)
-and now they are trying to trade Iggy for another 1st...

So when they draw the line if they succeed they might have:
-4 1sts, Allen(1st from last year). Crowder
-Josh Jackson, De'Anthony Melton, 2 PHX second rounders

There is a real chance they can get at least 2 other seconds for Crowder if not a 1st.

Huge props to their FO ... this is a masterclass in maximizing aging asset.

They've done an amazing job. They even killed it at the draft imo. I thought Ja was the correct choice. And Brandon Clarke may have been the biggest steal of the whole night. He fits perfectly at PF next to JJJ in that future frontcourt.

I love that they’re not planning to buy Iguodala out.

I saw a Grizzlies fan on twitter cheering on the Jazz’s moves and said “we small market teams gotta stick together” and I really like that.

Yeah, great choice. Iguodala must be a great player to have around to teach the young guns a trick or two as well. Why should they pay him all that money to go somewhere else?

Grizzlies are resisting a buyout on Iguodala and trying to trade him. His salary is $17 million and there’s the whole “nightlife” non-sense, but is that something the Jazz could try and trade for?

Good for the Grizzlies. Guess they're hoping a loser in the Kawhi stakes will want Iggy as a consolation prize.

Can probably say the same about Boogie. He's probably betting one of the LA teams pays him $10M after losing out on Kawhi.

Will they, though? I doubt they would put a lot on the table (like $17M) for Iggy with no Kawhi. Anyway, Grizz will have to pay him anyway (although the way I read the salary cap wikipedia stuff, they might end up with less towards the cap), so why not just use the services? In a perfect (for the Grizzlies) world, they can fight for the playoffs, although I really doubt it.

Yeah, I guess. I just hope he doesn't end up with the Warriors at the minimum. I don't want them good.
 
I don't have a dog in this JFC fight. I'm cool keeping Dante and I'm cool trading him if a good deal comes along. But mark my words.... I'm sure as **** gonna laugh my *** off at certain people around here if he pans out and the Jazz FO was right all along.

We've still got some prime real estate on Dante Island. Best investment you'll ever make, guaranteed(-ish)!
