Everyone say thank you to Brian for being willing to trade more than one shitty pick for three of the top statistical players in the league from the far-and-away best team in league history. Your long, international nightmare is over (until we win again next year after trading away #2, #16, and #19 in PER and #1, #3, and #8 in ORTG).

Not to drag on this discussion with the other thread being locked, but I think there is one important point that needs to be highlighted.  If the Jazz feels as though it would have won multiple championships over the next 10 seasons with his team prior to this trade, why was this trade made?  The reason has to be something other than for the purpose of winning.

For me personally, I would have preferred he continue to win until I could build a team good enough to knock him off his perch rather than him disabling his team to give the rest of us a shot.

I actually place some blame on the Raptors for bailing the Jazz out of Profit's horrible contract, but I believe he does has a point regarding this trade for the reason stated above.

At least someone understands my point...
