This is why we want our cap space

[Stifle Tower]

Warriors will give us a sweetener to take on Biedrens or Jefferson, but no way in hell they add Barnes or 2 future firsts.

I think adding just 1 future first will incline the jazz to accept. Remember, our salary cap is only 25 mil this year, and we have to get to 52 mil or else we have to pay the league. We should want to take on expirings to fill it up.

But we can wait until the trade deadline. This is a game of chicken. If Howard truly wants to sign with GS, they'll have to cave - or he walks away. Jazz don't have to do this deal. They can wait until the deadline and actually save money, then get decent veterans or salaries + picks.

I disagree about Boston doing an all out tank job. They might lose a bunch of games but they have a few things going against them that they could win too many games. Those three things are:

Rondo
Brad Stevens
Playing in the East

Need I say more?

Will he be ready for the beginning of the seasom?
Rookie Coach
The east just got better because it's got Big Al now

I would not give anyone Jazz 2014 first rounder for anything.
