I wouldn't call it a "meltdown" when people point out logical fallacies.
Hyperbole, eh?
I think it’s is possible for someone else to look at the same situation and come to another logical conclusion. Those don’t have to be inherently contradictory nor do we need to make assumptions that we’re punting this season.
We got value for players we weren’t going to resign. We had too many rotation quality players already. If we shorten the rotation there’s a decent chance we maintain the same level of play.
The value we got for players we weren’t going to resign is minimal and doesn’t weigh up against the loss of chemistry we had in that locker room or the experience we could have built with the play inns.
If we had too many rotation quality players, the first guy to ship out should have been THT. He wanted out and hadn’t played for months but he is still on board. Why? Meanwhile guys that played their buds off were shipped out for peanuts.
Yes, it’s a business and we cleared some more cap space but it cuts both ways. What kind of message did the FO just send to the NBA? Come and play for the Jazz? And what kind of message did the FO just send to the fans? Buy season tickets? And what kind of message to the locker room and coaching staff? Win but not too often? Score but not too much?
I hope this doesn’t bite them in the ass when it comes to extending LM or others…I know I would think twice now…
Stupid moves going against the Jazz culture.
