    The good thing is we really don't have to worry about it.

    Not a bad haul for Utah. Sexton could become a force.

    I wonder if LeBron regrets signing that extension cause after this trade if NOT for that new deal I would have put money on James trying to get back " home" to the Cavs

    Pretty good. Sexton was redundant. I think Laurri was too. All I know is that roster is much stronger than Portland's. That's 3-4 guys---Garland, Donovan, Allen, and probably Mobley---that are all-star caliber. I am depressed.

    I've always got the sense Steph was a prick.

    Love that for Cleveland.

    I'm low on all of the Cleveland guys going in the trade though and those picks will likely all be outside the top 10.

    God dammit. Why didn't we sign Ainge as GM.

    Utah is going to be bad for at least 5 years.

    3rd seed in the East. Bucks, Sixers, Cavs, Celts & Nets

    Most likely so the swaps aren't really a consideration for me when I look at this deal.

    The 2 unprotected NY was supposedly offering would have been the better option imo

    unless disaster strikes the Cavs, pretty safe assumption they will be a good team for the next 3-5 years. So, the first two picks to Utah will likely be in the twenties; the first swap likely won't happen. So, any substantial payoff for Utah in terms of picks is probably 5-7 years out, at best

    Sexton and Markannen are decent players. But Sexton, like Mitchell, seems much more an undersized 2-guard. I don't see a lot of value in those type of guards. I'll be curious to see what his new contract is

    seems pretty clear that Jazz ownership gave up and threw in the towel of the Mitchell/Gobert team. So they looked for a GM that could tear it all down and Ainge was available

    Yeah, I wasn't a fan of Sheed's either. I was happy when he was traded. But I rooted for him to do well and stop being a fucking idiot when he was here.
