Favors would have been my first choice for one of 'the picks' I'd be curious who the other three are for you. My three are Favors, Kanter, and Burks. You probably include Hayward, but to me he's more of a Ginobili, not a superstar, but a player who makes things happen on the court. Then again, I'm pretty sure some people consider Ginobili a superstar, and others probably think Hayward is a superstar in the making, so we'll see. (man, ugly game)

Thought PKM would enjoy this. I found it on another site.
These protected picks happen all the time and a lot of them are "Top-3" protected. No reason to do that UNLESS you're protecting yourself from finishing just out of the playoffs, but then winning one of the 3 spots in the lottery.I don't think you're right. If this were the case who would be the representative for the pick in the lottery draw? Would it be KOC sitting there crossing his fingers that he doesn't win the lottery and therefore lose the pick back to GS, or would it be a GS representative praying that they win the lottery so that they don't have to send the pick away. I've never seen a scenario anything like that in the lottery and I think that's because the ownership transfers based on the original pick position without regard to the lottery.

I guarantee you that the draft pick is POST-lottery. Before the lottery is held, there are no official draft positions, just chances for the lottery drawing.
I've changed my tune on this. I agree, which is why I'm rooting for them to lose. Unless Curry is practically done for the year, then I think they will struggle mightily. Either way, I will root for them to be bad since I don't like Mark Jackson, I hate how their team is built, I think their ownership is stupid, and whenever it is the Jazz get this pick, I'd like it to be higher rather than lower.
With that GS talk if GS offered us Curry for say harris would you do it with Currys bad ankle and all
With the way that Nate Robinson is playing for them maybe Curry seems a little more expendable at this point. This might be the time to go hard to get him.
I'd gladly take him off their hands. The Jazz could probably just sit him for the rest of the year, too. Which honestly, I don't think would be a bad idea for his sake. That ankle could be a career ender if he or those around him don't start taking it seriously.Do it.

Even with a bum ankle, GS is going to ask for a good haul for him, so what would you give up to get him?
We'd have to give up one of our bigs (Favors, Kanter, Al, or Paul), so which one?
BTW, I'm all for getting him. I'd give up Hayward (nice that he had a good game against them) and Al to get him, and we'd probably have to involve a 3rd team.
The salaries make it really hard to do, but here's the best I could come up with:

I think this would make us worse this year, but we'd be an extremely dangerous team down the road.
