The Official Fire Lindsey Thread

[LunaticWolf]

Someone has refuted the salary floor recently. It doesn't apply in the new CBA, which means our franchise is now out $24 million.

uhh

Hahaha! Loveya Duck.

 

[Gegenläufigen]

if salary floor didnt exist I guarantee there would be teams with 20 million dollar payrolls this season.

 

[JJ Rage]

One of the worst threads ever on this board.

Exactly. How is this a bad move? Maybe people wanted more. That being said, I think we made out pretty well considering we have all these guys for just a year.

The counter argument is that Iggy to Golden State has put them in contention and that the draft picks are then worthless.
But don't forget that Landry and Jack had to be renounced for this deal to happen and so they lose that bench that put them over the hump last season.

Or imagine that Iggy, Bogut, and or Curry go down with injury for any significant amount of time. If that happens, that really hurts their team. Maybe not as much as far as Bogut is concerned. BTW, not rooting for those guys to get injured. It is just part of the game.

I thought I'd save us time...

Why the hell are we helping out the warriors?
Why are we taking on all these garbage players?
Why are we dealing for late 1st rounders? I thought they sucked? They're worthless? So why are we trading for them? So we can forever have a team of mid/late first round picks?

This was a great deal for us. We got garbage who will ride the pine, help Jazz meet minimum payroll requirements, won't take minutes from youth, and in exchange we get draft picks. To me this is a signal that the Jazz FO is all in on the youth movement and the future. I'm thrilled with this deal, though on the downside, our bench next year will suck big time. But that's ok . . . sing it with me "a tanking we will go, a tanking we will go, draft picks and garbage filler, a tanking we will go."

This is more than a good move. It is a brilliant one and here is why:

1. This ensures that our C5 lead this team next year. There are now 12 players (favors, kanter, burks, burke, Hayward, gobert, mcneal, Evans, beidrins, Williams, Jefferson and rush) on the team. Sign Tinsley and Carroll and that's 14. No room for other vets.

2. Utah is now worse and our own 2014 pick will better. I mean look at the bench...

3. Now Utah has a 2nd 2014 first rounder, a 2017 first rounder and a future 2nd rounder.

4. All 3 contracts are expiring deals that total 24 million. That is 24 million for our future next year.

5. All this sets Utah up for a fantastic 2014 draft.

Lindsey has loaded the bases in two swift moves. If he can hit another homer on 2014 draft day it's a grand slam. He set Utah up for years. Man has been insanely good as a GM so far.

Iggy doesn't make GS contenders.

/counter argument.

Agreed. It also means no Paul back next year. Which IMO was the right move.

People who don't see that this is an awesome move are absolute idiots.

That would be CALJAZZFAN
