Boris Diaw Traded To Jazz (news, not just proposed trade)

So why no picks for the Jazz, we give up nothing but Harlan but we are helping out the Spurs so they can sign Gasol. Shouldn't the Jazz get something in return?

It does help the Jazz. Depth, a very good passing big, another vet who has extensive playoff experience.

Control his weight and it is an Ok add.
 
So, the Spurs get the ability to sign Gasol. THis is a salary dump for the Spurs so the Jazz should get a pick.

The league is flush with teams with cap space and picks are more valuable than ever. The Jazz got a real NBA player for a guy that will probably never don a jersey. Cheer up. The Jazz were probably awarded this deal because of being somewhat in with the Spurs as well.
 
This does feel like a meh trade I probably wouldn't have made, but you know, what are you gonna do. Doesn't hurt or help that much. Hanlan was never gonna play for us, but watch him become good in SA now.
Our biggest need at this point was a stretch-big and we just got one for peanuts. Veteran, championship experience, and played for Pop. Not sure what else you could want.
 
after Hanlan rocked it in yesterday's game against the spurs.

It's just one game ;)

Where is Hanlan going after one solid SL game? Over Hill, Exum and Mack? He was never making this team. Solid move asset wise.
