Trade With Phoenix?

homeytennis said:
Phoenix has the 14, 18 and 27th picks in the first round. What say anyone to trading No. 5 for those picks and keeping 23?. That could potentially give the Jazz five decent young players to start the rebuild. Right now I'm not sure the No. 5 pick is going to land a game changer. The tank was in vein. Ty ruined it for us by playing the vets too much.

Too little.



Too much.

But not enough of a difference to impact wins/losses significantly. Burks should have received more time earlier in the season. And Kanter should have not been in the doghouse just because he played on the same unit as JLIII.

14 - McDermott
18 - Hood
23 - McDaniels (Jazz own pick)
27 - Capella

I'd absolutely rather see the Jazz draft someone at #5 (one of Gordon, Vonleh or Exum will be there) and then try to trade around and maneuver up for the highest picks they can get. They have two decent picks (#23 and #35), a ton of cap space, cash to buy a pick and two European assets that they can barter with as well. I'd much rather see them swing for the fences and focus on quality over quantity this year.

Agree. Jazz simply don't need the depth; they need quality. If, in fact, McDermott was still there at #14 (many drafts have him higher), I'd be ok with that pick. He's a good 6th man. But Gordon (or Vonleh) can vie for starting positions eventually. Hood and Capella? Throw-away picks. You can grab a veteran like Marvin Williams to fill a backup role.

Or you move up from 23/35 and/or buy a pick late like they did with Gobert. You simply don't trade away a top 5 pick in a strong draft. You take the best player you can.

The young guys should have played more. Specifically Burks, Kanter and Gobert. But I'm not buying that we would have been worse if they did.

Agree on the trade up. That #35 could potentially land a pick in the 20's straight up. Still great quality at #35, but the contract isn't guaranteed. More flexible for teams that are up against the cap or tax limit.
 
With threads like this, I'll be lucky to have my infractions erased before I get banned and it looks like all it will take for me to get banned is to call someone an idiot or stupid seeing as I got my third infraction for calling someon an idiot and stupid in the same post.

Wish me luck.

Great point. The Jazz have more than enough room to take on guaranteed contracts if they're sold on a guy being worth the pick. I'm still hoping that they can finagle their way into a late lottery pick or just outside of the lottery for a guy like Payton, LaVine, Harris, Payne or even Saric. There's some pretty talented players who will fall outside the lotto this year IMO.

Maybe just use terms like "this is an idiotic thread" "or this thread is ****ing stupid". Both are acceptable per me.
