Trade Rumors Involving the Jazz

I don’t know why every national media writer and outlet keeps giving us an A for the deal. I’ve been told by 99% of the people on here how bad it was.

All the "analysts" and talking heads are armchair GM's at heart. That's why. They like "shrewd", tactical moves that go against the wishes of the smelly hordes of ordinary fans who like to see their team go to the playoffs and win.

That's pretty much all there is.

Ever seen one of these guys give props to a team taking the "We know we have no shot at contending but we're gonna see what kind of noise we can make in the playoffs" route?

Yeah, thought so.
 
Okay, I think the Jazz have traded everything they have, so we can conclude this thread. No one's going to take Rudy Gay.

Royce, Rudy, Donovan, Bojan, PatBev, Mike, Malik and JV8 all moved.... Our work is done here. Good job, everyone....

I feel used.

We helped Minny get rid of a big problem.

We helped make the Lakers relevant in the playoff hunt.

And for our efforts we got... a non-guaranteed 1st. It could be good, it could be very meh.

The Laker's should have ended with Conley for their own sake. We should have received more for bailing teams out. I think we could have done much better with other teams. Clearly, we hyper-valued cap relief and sucking the rest of the year.

Yup, as I said the other day, we gave up the most but got the very least.

I think that Lakers pick protected 1-4 has good value. We got off Conley's deal for next season. Lakers will do well to get to 40 wins and sneak in the play-in as the 10th seed. Jazz want their lottery spot anyway. T'wolves probably end up as the 8th or 9th seed and will have to fight their way into the playoffs. Lakers could even take them out during the play-in process.

It's all good.

I'd rather have an unprotected pick but people complaining should think about this...

Imagine the lottery is tomorrow... You can receive either -

- The 18th pick in the draft.
- Or you can have a pick that has a 48% chance at being the 5th - 7th pick in the draft and a 52% chance at being the 31-35th pick in the draft.

Which option do you take?

Worst case scenario the Lakers are the worst team in the league... and that honestly might be better than an "in-between" type scenario where they are a lower end playoff team.

Everyone is acting like the pick is guaranteed to be in the top-4. Odds are it won’t be. It is heavily favored to convey to us in the first round.
