Jazz and Kings trade (idea)

[Beantown]

So the Kings are looking to trade Nocioni and this could give us a chance to move up in the draft. Here is the proposal:

Jazz trade: AK and the #9

Kings trade: Nocioni, Beno, Hawes, #5


Why the Jazz do it:
We move up in the draft and get some fairily good value back with some veterans and a big man in Hawes. Downside is the two contracts are not pretty.

Kings:
They move Nocioni who wants out and get rid of some bad contracts. Total financial decision. They also set themselves up in the FA market.

I like it. Jazz get some value for AK and ensure drafting Monroe at #5!

Kings get AK for a year and an expiring contract without moving that far down in the draft

I don't like the $22M over three years that Udrih is making.

In looking at it a bit, it would be Sacramento that would decline first. Not value enough for that package. I don't think AK's $17 M expiring is worth that package for them.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Change the title please. Misleading.

I actually like Beno (though not his contract) and wouldn't do this trade.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Checking on salaries, Sacramento has about $33M allotted to nine players, with no major home free agent. 10 players at around 36 mil after the draft pick. They are in a good financial situation. Only Udrih is a "bad" contract since Nocioni is down to two years left and doesn't get paid THAT much. They really don't need to make a salary dump, even with a guy who asks for a trade.

How about #9 and the rights to Fes' (their assistant GM Jason Levien used to be his agent) for #5?

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Not a horrible idea. I'd pass on that though. I think there will be some better deals for AK later on

This would assure the Jazz have a shot at Cousins or Johnson. Just so everybody knows.

Too much to give up just to get Monroe who may be there at #9 anyway.

What? Who says we're drafting that disinterested underachiever with the #5 pick? I hate Cousins but I pick him 100 times out of a 100 over Monroe. And we're not even talking about one of the most productive, efficient, rounded, and athletic wings in the draft (Johnson).

If one of them are there then do this deal. Especially if it's Cousins.
