Sounds great!. My wife and I have been thinking about an early retirement (still 15 years away) in the mountains. Probably somewhere remote in the Peruvian Andes. A big farm with all kind of rescued animals.Hey dude. Likewise! I'm glad you're still here.
Overall, I'm good. Massive career overhaul. In the next few months I'll be moving across the country to the woods of western Massachusetts. We're just about to close a deal on a 19 acre lot and build a house, which has been a dream for 5-6 years now.
Helluva good trade.

My initial expectation was to get more... I think nba cap geeks saw that contract as more toxic than it was I guess. I suppose if Poole's terrible deal gets like one super protected future first then the return on Collins is okay. We shall see what comes next.
Exactly. And they were all saying that Hendricks is raw. Anyone who doesn’t see this as a win is just crazy…It's funny to me people dislike this trade when they loved the Hendricks pick
Collins is the more talented version of Hendricks.
Exactly. Why does no one else see this? It was redundant. Which tells me that more stuff is probably coming because DA is not as inept as DL. For DL he would have resigned Gay at 3/36 and called it a huge win.This is sort of a weird trade. We burned the #9 pick in the draft and now with this trade we relegate him to the bench for the foreseeable future. So is the plan to play more small ball with Hendo or JC playing the 5? Or are we planning to move someone else via trade?
Umm... not all the Hendricks believes said he's raw... I know one for sure that didn't lol. He is good enough at the things he does well to play a role... I mean as much as any rookie is ready. He's not ready for 30+ minutes on a winner... but its not out of the question by year end that he could be adequate/close maybe. As long as Taylor is picking up 15-20 meaningful minutes per game next year I am good.Exactly. And they were all saying that Hendricks is raw. Anyone who doesn’t see this as a win is just crazy…
Definitely the most athletic team that can actually shoot.The Jazz may low key be one of the most athletic teams in the league next season.
Exactly!!!!!What are you talking about? This contract does the opposite of restrict us. Either Collins proves himself to be a quintessential piece that's worthy of his contract, or he becomes the contract to make the math work when we cough up a bunch of our picks to acquire a superstar. The only thing on our books are moderate contracts and rookie contracts. The only one getting paid soon-ish is Lauri. We're good to go even if Collins is the 'fine' version. If he's the "great" version - well, that just gives us even more options.
He’s 18 years old. He will need time before he can start against men.Umm... not all the Hendricks believes said he's raw... I know one for sure that didn't lol.

Lots of us see it. Rookies take time though. If Hendricks is good enough to push JC for playing time that’s an amazing problem to have. Year 2 if it is stunting his growth we maybe do something about it.Exactly. Why does no one else see this? It was redundant.
