Need more star players to move to the east. Unless they want to join the Warriors of course.

Sorry Utah fans. This will mean a big step back for you guys.
Not sure what the new CBA achieved. NBA needs something similar to a franchise tag
OR
Instead of voters deciding who gets the supermax - let the teams decide who they want to give supermax deal.
-----
On the other side - I'm glad Boston got better. Need a team or two that can truly challenge Cavs. Playoffs are no fun when series are not competitive.

You draft the guy, turn him into a super star and he bails...
How are we supposed to do anything? Wtf is the point?
Classless or not I hope nothing but the worse basketball wise.

i don't blame him at all. The Celtics will be the best team in the east in 2019 so he's going to make regular finals appearances from that point on and has a chance to win a ring. He would have never won a ring in Utah. PLus I wouldn't call him a superstar.
I will say that BOS are stuck with two bad contracts, HOrtford and Hayward. They're getting super star money and neither players are superstars. I do think this contract will bite them in the ass.

Not sure why a football fan would trip. Same thing in the NFL when guys deals run out. They go for the money and/or rings. 
How can the new CBA take away a persons choice? If they dont want more money n want a different work environment for THEIR own personal advancement, do we not do the same going to better or different jobs? Nothing wrong w that if there is nothing wrong with it for us imo.

I'm pretty much to the point of giving up on sports. I already don't really follow baseball, hockey and football like I used to. The Jazz have been my #1 team for years but this is so deflating. After watching this team slowly work it's way back up to being a winner and then this happens. When we're so close to having something special.

Let down, dashed expectations and hurt I understand. I feel you.

They need some defined system of compensation for when teams lose top level players. A combination of draft picks+cash considerations so the team that loses their star can get something back.
In the NBA one guy leaving a franchise can implode the entire team so it'd be good for them to get something reasonable back to help rebuild.
