After chewing on this, the only thing that actually makes sense is that the Jazz actually like Nurkic.

Apples and oranges. The Favors trade was really painful but at least it made sense.

Then it appears he’s edited his post twice (back to 2030, from 2031, from 2030).

For what?

No there isn’t.

Just. Buy. Him. Out.

I’m addressing the inanity of sending a 2nd rounder. We didn’t have to. And we wouldn’t have to give Nurkic - who I could not possibly be less interested in having by around or watching - minutes either.

Trade Jrue. But yeah, then they have to do more work.

Buy him out. Solved. Sending a 2nd to somehow save face for the ‘we’re not [tanking]’ lark is weakness.

That is not correct. Sexton is expiring, just like Simons who also makes $9 million more.

2031. We also own the Clippers 2030 2nd outright per the Eubanks deal IIRC.

Why didn’t we just send Sexton and two or three 2nds to the Celtics for Jrue?

Yeah. Cuz it is. It makes absolutely zero sense.

Then just don’t do the trade. If Sexton was about to go nuclear on the Jazz, then buy-him out. This **** just makes no sense.

Larsen confirmed the Jazz are sending a pick. Somehow.

Yeah, this feels like everybody but Austin was out of office for the weekend or something. Unbelievable. Sexton probably was about to publicly request a trade because we’ve been ****ing with his money.

this would actually make any sense. In which case, maybe Shams should do any proofing at all. Edit: their citation is to Sham’s tweet which still says it’s the Jazz sending a pick. And it looks like Larsen confirmed this earlier.

Even if there is, the value proposition for Charlotte is outrageously positive on balance. We should not be sending any kind of asset.

So far, it is not looking like we are building the roster to win right now so I guess I’ll celebrate that. I simply cannot wrap my head around sending a pick to pay more money for a worse player, though.

How the **** are we SENDING a pick?
