Jazz May Be A Part of 3-Team Deal w/ Clippers

[billyshelby]

I assume since Dallas acquired the 24, 33, and 34 that we'll be getting at least one of those? Any talk of this? I'm just getting to the story.

Pretty nice pickup for the TPE. Mo can chuck occasionally but after watching how epically bad we were from three point territory not sure how anyone could not like this...

 

[billyshelby]

It's only a nice pickup if there are picks involved (and not just the consolation 2nd mandated by the CBA)

I'd have to think so too. I think it was 107 (is that right?) that mentioned it could realistically be 24 since it would save Dallas cap space this offseason, I tend to think that's plausible.

Smokin' Mo!

Or as I used to call him "Mr. Peanut" .... because he has Planter's 'Mr. Peanut' tattooed on his arm, for some reason.

UGH

Somehow it never occured to me that the Jazz might just play Williams as a 2. Let's hope that isn't the case.

 

[billyshelby]

My dream is we get the 24 and Wroten. But my nightmare is we're not getting one of those Dallas picks.

 

[Fishsticks]

This a great pick up. Worst case scenario we have a crap load of expirings, but I think mo could be our pg for the next 3-4 years as we search for a replacement.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Mo should have been here long ago. Now Perry Jones needs to Slip to 47.

 

[Kenwood]

Marc Stein reporting that Dallas drafted 24 for themselves, not to trade.

I hope a pick is included.

In all this talk, no one has given kudos to Brad Rock. He suggested the Jazz go after Mo way back in his column on May 12th. No paper or scissors today...the winner is the Rock Monster.

Spencer Checketts ‏@1280Spence
Just talked to Kevin O'Connor in the hall. Says Mo Williams trade "isn't close to being done". "Too many moving parts". #NBADraft. #UtahJazz

I've learnt not to expect anything....anymore.......

Hopefully too many moving parts means KOC is hung up on getting picks and/or specific players with the picks Dallas acquired.

 

[Bodhi]

I also doubt Spence ****ing Checketts has KOC's confidence.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Anyone that goes by ****ing "Spence" be thrown in the Boo Box.

This trade is done. There is no moving parts unless as you say we have a few selection in the early second round suddenly.

Or poo box. Spences always suck.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Maybe the holdup, the "too many moving parts" that KOC refers to is whether or not a deal involving Harris gets done. Mo may not want to sign the contract and be traded to Utah if Harris is still with teh Jazz. And I can't blame him. Williams is going to be a FA; he needs to start in order to get another decent deal in 2013.

Well it's not reported as finalized. And there should be nothing final about it if we're not getting something back.
