All the boo-hooing in this thread is hilarious. We have heard a RUMOR about PART of a POSSIBLE trade that would require Melo to sell his soul to the Nets, one of the worst teams in the NBA who barely got better in the off-season. Not saying it won't happen. Just saying.

If Diaw was in his final year as well, this would be a brilliant trade from a financial point of view. With that extra year on there, I don't like this trade as-is.

A rumor that has been substantiated by about 25 different people. The talks are happening, plus, there's not a whole **** of a lot else Jazz related to talk about. Move along.

Garbage. Compare them at the 3, consider that AK knows the system. The only thing Diaw has on AK is shooting, and even then he's not good enough for the 3. This would be a HUGE loss.

No it doesn't make sense to compare them at the 3. Diaw mainly plays the 4 and the Jazz would obviously make this move to open up more playing time for CJ and Hayward.
 
This is the first time I've seen AK's name mentioned in a legitimate rumor where the Jazz weren't saying "no" to a pitch (Shawn Marion, Vince Carter, McGrady's expiring). This is pretty ****ing serious and legitimate.

And in case my history with AK is unknown, I could be described by many as a hater. That's how bad this trade is.

So we're trading away AK to pay $9mil for 15 minutes of Diaw (and 0 when Memo's back)? Even better.

I know. All the crying about taking back a player with two years on his contract is ridiculous. People who are complaining about a rumor suck.

This trade seems to straight up depend on Melo committing to a deal to NJ. I dont know if he will, so it might not even really matter.

AK for Diaw...

I dont know, im on the edge. It makes money sense, and i dont see us getting any worse. But it gets Melo out of our division, sooner. But I dont really think it makes much of a difference. If you think about it, Melo out of Denver means more wins for other teams in the West so its really too hard to predict.

Im getting that

(a) Utah feels Hayward can have an immediate impact.
(b) Jefferson might be getting more playtime at center than we expect
(c) Diaw will be backing up Millsap

But when Memo comes back this creates a huge logjam.
 
Denver still has to trade more players to make this work.

It works financially for Utah, Nets and Bobcats but Denver has to trade about 4-6 Million to make it work. So that means JR smith or Chris Anderson most likely will be moved. We will see where they go. but somebody in that price range has to be moved. And the Jazz are the only team that could take on extra salary after AK is traded.

Hopefully Chris Anderson. I would think the complaining would stop if we got him.

What? How the hell are the Jazz going to find minutes for everyone if Diaw is playing at the 4? 96 minutes for Memo, Anderson, Big Al, Sap, Diaw...

I guess we just play them 18-20 each.

Hayward better be ready to play 35 minutes every night...
 
This is a great trade for Utah. Any move that opens up more playing time for Hayward is a good move for the Jazz.

What are you on? This isn't a move to open up playing time, this is very obviously a ****** attempt at saving salary. And why should we not compare them as 3s, anyway. By my count, the Jazz have 0 real SFs if AK's gone (CJs not proven to be of ideal size, Hayward hasn't proven anything, Diaw is likely too slow) and nearly $30 million between three guys at the 4 if Diaw's here. Your logic in this post is baffling.
 
No but in all seriousness, what does Diaw even do well? He seems to me like a total tweener. Whats he even good at
