Jazz trade with Knicks

If the Knicks called and I was a GM I would always answer... I could be like 30 seconds away from nutting and I'd be like "Honey... I gotta take this one be back in 10!"

I'd take Bey or Woodard at 27 and Tillman or Tillie at 38. I haven't been big on Tillie because I'm not sure he stays healthy... but if health is the only concern at #38 there is a lot of upside. I could see Zeke being there too in spite of his rise up on mock drafts.

I will even take Tre Jones there. I think he's an nba player... just that he will never be more than a solid backup pg and he has no positional flexibility.

This is pretty much my take too. Happy with Bey or Woodard, with a preference for Bey. I'd prefer Tillman to Tillie, but if Tillie can stay somewhat healthy he could be a steal. The Jazz may also be eyeing up Devon Dotson at 38 after his workout with Donovan, but I'm not too keen on small guards.

Tillie reminds me of Maxi Kleber but is a better shooter... we've needed that type of player for so long. The medical red flags are really red and blinking... but maybe he just had a bad run while his body was developing.

Maybe he decided to get all the injuries out of the way before he got to the NBA :)
 
If Jayden Scrubb is still on the board at #38, I'd be tempted to take him -- athletic 6/6" guard/wing who can score off the dribble. I can make an argument for why he's a better prospect than Elijah Hughes. Blazers apparently really like him, per Sam Vecenie.

Personnal connections matter in NBA trades. No surprise we found a willing partner with Perrin & Bryant now on the Knicks.

I'm a bit more excited to see who falls into the 2nd round

Every year there is a guy or two that fall in this range for no real reason. Paschall last year would have been a great pickup for us.

This is a really good use of the pick. Even if we only leverage the pick to get off of Ed’s money.

I think there will be good players available between 30-40. Hopefully we don't use it to get rid of Ed's contract.
 
I like this move. Now Jazz can be doubly disappointed in the choices the Jazz make. haha. I was hoping they would do this. I think there is a lot of value in the end of the first and the high second.
 
I'm actually happy about this. There's just so many guys and a complete crapshoot after the lottery so getting another swing for only dropping down four spots works for me.

If he does become mid-30s shooter, his athleticism and developing defense might indeed make him worth a pick in the 20s, but yeah... I guess I am just not that much of a believer in it. His FT% for example is attrocious and FT% is one of the main predictors for 3p% transition to the league.

Karl Malone shot 48 percent for the FT as a rookie and hit a high around 81 percent. Rudy has improved his FTs too. If the guy has a work ethic he can improve his FT.

Not the Knicks trade I was hoping for, and now it feels like a certainty that someone I really wanted will be there at #23 and not #27.

Since I don’t care about Green and think McDaniels makes CJ Miles look like MJ, this is probably a good move. I was actually thinking about this exact maneuver over the last couple of days but it felt really meh.

Frankly it is really meh. So we stand pat and add a lesser potential talent in a mediocre draft. I hope there is more to be announced. Otherwise yet another fully underwhelming off-season for us.
