We were all starving for Barnes or Thompson, but you have to be happy we are tanking. That's the bottom line for me.

Yup. Took me a minute to get over the thought that we might be able to steal Barnes or Thompson, but now I'm pretty freaking excited about this trade.
 
Next year is a throw away year. Good development for Kanter, Favors, and Burks, plus the obvious display of Trey Burke. Other than that do not expect many positives until lottery night. Good to see though. This is a players league, and great players do not come to utah in free agency. A player like Wiggins would forever transform Jazz basketball, although I imagine the FO might take Jabari just because there is a better chance he will stay long term. He has family in utah, and fits the culture more for obvious reasons. I don't agree with that, but after so many big time free agents have left the teams that drafted them over the last decade, it would not surprise me.
 
I don't know **** so forgive me if I'm way off, but by only taking experings didn't we just put our cap space in a safety deposit box for a little while? Wouldn't everyone's wettest dream be somehow getting an unrealistically high draft pick next year, sort of like landing Burke this year? Will we still have flexibility for something like that?

That is the gamble that Lindsey didn't want to take. 24 million could get you a mid first round pick next year. For instance if Brooklyn's vets are injury plagued and they are on line to miss the playoffs, we could save them somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 million (figuring in luxury tax) by taking on Humphries and Pierce (both expiring).

I don't think Utah will have the worst record in the league. Too many talented players. But even a top-6 pick brings in an all-star caliber prospect.
