What time is deadline today?

Exactly! They turned a small investment into a solid asset to a contender but one that has/had an expiration date. That date just passed. He'll now leave next season and an asset just turned into nothing. All for a mythical hope at an 8th seed almost no one wants.

Talking to Harpring last night I mentioned the 8th seed and before I could finish he said "yeah, only to get swept". He then went on to say "ALMOST" *emphasis* everyone in and around the Jazz see the need to develop the youth more at the cost of the mythical chance for the playoffs. Him saying almost everyone seems to indicate a rift somewhere on goals and the future of this team. Now with the trade deadline passing I'm very worried we are going to be caught in limbo for at least a little while. Howard, CJ and Raja have zero future with this team and what they will become with the current young core. Disgusting.

not sure how we got off on the wrong foot. But, yeah, I've been saying these exact same things in my "bad posts"

DJ Jazzy Jody just talked to KOC. Jody said to expect a huge summer/fall trades for the Jazz. However, it doesn't make any sense because Howard, CJ, and Tinsley will all be expired.

I expect nothing anymore. Jazz have become GS or Clippers--perpetually selling hope. So what if they trade Gordan and Milsap for futrue protected lottery pick.

People poked around about a lot of our players, but in the end nothing of value was offered.

Teams didn't want Howard that badly. There was some mild interest it seemed. Anything of true value would
have got him imo.

Not in their eyes. In my eyes I would have taken that Subway card with 4/10 stamps needed for a free six inch and ran.

True value? No one is asserting that Josh Howard was the key to get Dwight Howard. A 2nd rounder and a bust player is better than Howard walking.

EDIT: OH! And don't forget a spot in the rotation for Burks without anyone's precious little feelings getting hurt.

and gave us tidbits. thank you it was fun.

Really appreciated. I am a huge Jazz fan at my core so as soon as the awe wore off I wanted to see what I could find out/get away with.

Not dealing Howard is an absolute waste of $2.2 million spent wisely on a guy that turned out well. He won't or shouldn't be back. He had value, but not to us. Jazz org went full retard on us.

Now it's on for Burks to get playing time and some chumps to get their feelings hurt for not being better than they are. If that doesn't happen, I'm going to join the morons of the board and start calling for heads.

And Howard really hasn't turned out that well...that's the misperception. Are we really content with wings shooting 35-40%? If so, let's just re-sign CJ. I HATE this team right now. You know TY is going to continuie to play Raja and Alec will continue to get DNP-CD's. That's going to really build good will with Burks going forward. Not that Alec will be Deron-good, but this is a similar situation. He's going to hate Ty so much for making him sit behind a much inferior player that he'll say "&*^&% you morons" when it comes to re-signing.
 
Boy I'm glad I didn't realize the deadline was so early. Now I'm just disappointed, instead of having to wait for several hours before being disappointed.

Exactly. And while Burks probably won't end up as good as Deron, Deron still got to play. He never lost a spot in the rotation and got those DNP's. Burks is being sat so the Jazz can play two, and sometimes three and four inferior players ahead of him.

Huh? Is this at me? If so, I'm confused, you're one of my fav posters. Weird.

nevermind, then. You quoted Cy's derogatory post at my expense. I assumed solidarity.
Cheers, bro. Thanks for the scoops these past few days.
 
Nene to Washington for McGee... Nick Young to Clippers. Clippers preferred Nick Young to Raja Bell or Miles, go figure
