Well, when that trade demand comes I hope it's a good draft.
Moderators: FJS, Inigo Montoya

The real decision the Jazz FO is making is between Continuity, Cap Flexibility, and Cash Considerations.

More monetization opportunities, sure. A better cultural \lifestyle fit, maybe that too. But man, that place wrecks the career of almost any player that goes there. DM will win more games here than he will with the Knicks. As much as I bitch about the Jazz's FO and management, they are infinitely more competent than the Knicks.

No, the games are going to be rescheduled....... They are not going to give up millions of dollars......

Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see what the response is. Money is not the only thing at stake here. Like I said, these are issues they deeply care about. The season is in jeopardy.
Personally I believe the players have the largest platform while they’re playing. If they decided against the restart, for example, they wouldn’t be able to send a strong message like they are now. I hope they keep playing for this reason...but they’re going to handle it however they decide to, because they can.

People don't care about what athletes say about politics....... Doesn't mean the players don't have a right to express their opinions, they certainly do...... But people don't care....... They never have, and especially now, when so many are out of work and suffering..... They don't care what a millionaire has to say....... About anything...... The players are in for a rude awakening...... If they decide to cancel the season, no one will care and it will make no difference.......

The players want their own message out there. If you don't think that NBA players are able to spread influence, you must not understand how the NBA works. People don't give a damn about Rudy Gobert has to say about Vivint but Vivint pays millions of dollars to the Jazz to be a corporate sponsor. The NBA has and always will operate on what the NBA and it's players are advertising. Patch on the jersey, logo on the floor, commercial during the break, corny commercial featuring players with bad acting...That all has value. Given that this is a message that the players actually care about and not a home security system, I definitely think they are in a position to make a difference.
