Jazz trade for John Collins

[416Klawzz]

I'm not sure I get this trade.

Awful contract, and he's just going to be eating into Hendricks development.

Just tell yourself he is better than big stiff useless Gobert and you will feel better

 

[jom2003]

This certainly means that the Jazz will try to win next season. If we end up giving OKC our 18th pick or something like that, so be it. The time is now.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Very interesting.

Not sure I like it, but Utah is going for huge lineups. We matchup amazingly against Denver. Also we are looking to gameplan for Wemby in the future

I’m looking at it simply as the Jazz looking to upgrade Rudy Gay’s minutes this year and maybe rehab John Collins value for a trade later. Not necessarily a move for this year, but a set-up move for down the road.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Do either of you know how much cap we have left?

20-ish... depends on KO and Clarkson.

 

[416Klawzz]

How do we get Bufkin out of this?

You are stupid

 

[NUMBERICA]

What an absolute ****ing catastrophe. Are you ****ing kidding me right now?

 

[NUMBERICA]

Hell yeah, let's go Utah Forwardzz.

 

[Elizah Huge]

What an absolute ****ing catastrophe. Are you ****ing kidding me right now?

Relax. We got him for free while getting rid of Gay.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Really? Basically got him for free while getting rid of Gay at the same time.

Yeah I need something back for this deal. I don't love having a long term contract over top of Hendricks. If we flip him at the deadline or move KO separately for something then okay... just think we gave Atlanta a get out of jail free card.

Olynyk
Hendricks
Collins
Lauri
Kessler

The all big lineup with Point Olynyk

 

[sojodave]

He's only 25 and has been pretty healthy. I think he will flourish away from Trae Young.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Really? Basically got him for free while getting rid of Gay at the same time.

We didn't get him for free. We got him for $25 million a year for three years. He's neutral to negative in value.

That's also the salary slot for Reaves.

 

[sojodave]

We need more 6'10" dudes...lol

 

[nateboz]

Superbowl baby

 

[zyzz]

Hawks fans are saying his finger is permanently ****ed up and looks gnarly. Because of that he can’t really shoot anymore.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

26 to start the season, but good point. Decent rehab value

 

[NUMBERICA]

Wow! Didn’t see that coming.

Hawks duck the tax.

Jazz add another young big man to their front court - who will likely get flipped in another trade down the road.

And they move off of Rudy Gay’s final year - all for just a future 2nd round pick.

We shouldn't be sending anything in positive value to eat that money. ****ing unbelievable.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

We didn't get him for free. We got him for $25 million a year for three years. He's neutral to negative in value.

That's also the salary slot for Reaves.

Bruh the Reaves thing wasn't happening

That finger looks cooked.

Reaves ain’t happening. You’d have to move real assets to get him now, and even if you did. . . there’s a good chance the Lakers just decide to keep him and match any offer sheet he gets.
