It just amazes me Danny couldn't have offered more than what the Jazz got for him.

Isnt he a free agent this summer?  Restricted free agent or something.

I don't think Danny saw the point in wasting assets to trade for someone he could sign this summer without giving up chips.  Also since making the playoffs this season is a really low priority from Danny's perspective.  He'll work with it if we make it, but his job is probably a lot easier if the ping pong balls gift us a top 4 pick this summer.  Maintaining cap space is a major priority as well. Don't want to blow our Kevin love free agent pipe dream by wasting cap space on lesser talent.

We've since gone on a bit of a run and seems our pick is destined for the 10-17 range.  Oh well.  Probably not what Danny hoped for, but he might have an easier time trading some of our players if they prove capable of making the playoffs.

Which was a first, a second, and clearing $3.75 million in payroll next year for a player who's going to get a huge raise and/or walk come July.

It just amazes me that people think we need another offensive big who lives in the post and plays suspect defense.

No one on this current team "lives in the post". Zeller, sure, but he is the definition of mediocre. I like him, but he's not close to Kanter's level offensively. Sullinger? He's always been an overrated post player. Not because he shoots a bunch of 3s either, but because he is actually a lot more limited in the post than people want to believe. He's decent, though.

I do agree that I wanted a defensive minded center before an offensive minded one, though..

I got the impression that they wanted any possible long term piece they traded for to be locked up past this season.  No possible renters.
