Rayjon Traded to Cleveland for $$$

[Bawse Dawg]

because second round picks alone can get you $$$$$$. we apparently need extra salary in space to sign extra player(s) or this **** makes no sense. we basically lose money by giving away these second rounders unless we actually do something with the cap space we created

Stop getting your hopes up.

bobby marks saying 340k for a second rounder is good value? so maybe i'm underestimating the value of second round pick

I'm just really confused.

When is NWG's guarantee date? Has it already happened? Would cutting him get the Jazz below the tax, because that seems like the plan.

I thought players who were non-guaranteed got fully guaranteed when traded?

guys here wanted us to guarantee Tucker anyways. it's bringing back NWG that most of us have issues with

Yeah really good value for the Cavs. We paid 3.5mil for the 39th pick last week.

Well, here's someone who appears to think no thing will happen but an increase in Oni's minutes...

and we gave away 5 of those over a course of one week. let's say one pick can get you roughly 500k in cash consideration(that is assuming all of them end up somewhere in the 50s and become busts that never make it to the league, best case scenario for us). 5 of those can get you 2.5mil, enough for you to bring in one or two guys on min deal.

I mean, it's pretty clear this is a financial move.

I dont think you understand.

 

[jom2003]

pretty sure by giving away these second round picks cheaply, we lost more money for the future than what we've managed to save in salary right now.

Our FO really is the oprah winfrey of 2nd round picks.

 

[jom2003]

like no one understand why kings took bagley over luka, or why knicks traded zingis to mavs just so they can have the cap space to sign randle and portis. FO are humans too. don't just always assume that they can't make mistakes.

 

[jom2003]

it's ok if they think they suck at drafting in the second round. but why not hold on to these picks and sell high on draft night. there will always be buyers comes draft night where teams really want a shot at getting the player they want but are afraid that their draft spots aren't high enough.

[jom2003]

bojan and ingles contract too. both of their salary goes up by the year. don't see any reason to do that given their age and our salary cap situation. just terrible assets management in display.

Three years ago I said DL was a top 3 GM. For a couple years I stood behind that even though we disagreed on many different things. This past year has had me really frustrated with our massive blind spots. I could have predicted the essentially standing pat moves this offseason, but even I didn’t think they’d be capable of the absolute ****-show of fringe moves we’ve made in the past 10 days. Holy ****.

 

[mellow]

Gail made the only smart off-season Jazz move.

We could’ve saved a hell of a lot more money trading Conley for OPJ.

It seems we are in “the spend money and assets to get rid of our awful bench”-game phase.
