GSW wants their pick back.

Why would we ever do this? We don't need a low 1st round pick or a bunch of 2nd round picks.
Does Lacob think this is the NFL?
If he thinks a top-10 pick pick is worth only a late 1st and a couple of seconds then, as my mom used to say...he's got another think coming.

Now is a good time to deal, though. He desperately needs some good PR after the debacle at the Mullin ceremony.
 
So I need an etiquite ruling here. Since this topic was covered in another thread, is this thread only for mocking the OP or can I, er uh.... another poster speak about the topic?

Because if we could speak about the topic I would point out that conditions on a pick can be altered, and if the Jazz alter the conditions of the GS pick and the Warriors are willing to pay an additional 1st round pick and a couple of 2nd round picks and the Jazz would still have claim on a future conditional pick, that would be a steal of a deal. But I won't say anything like that if it is bad form.
 
Only deal I'd take is to give them their pick plus Harris for Curry.

Depending on what they offer, maybe it does make sense to delay the pick for a year. Then we save on the salary associated with a Top10 pick until the year AFTER the two big salaries of Jefferson and Harris expire. Doing that would allow KOC to utilize the full amount of Memo's TPE or add a FA without worrying about landing in luxury tax territory.

It would be crazy to turn down Curry for a potential pick, even with his ankle issues. Jazz could amnesty Harris for cheap. He's only owed another $8.5mm and someone would claim him on waivers for at least a couple mill.

Jazz are at $52.8 next year without any cap holds. Subbing Curry's salary for Harris' and they'll have another $4.6mm cap room. Cap should be roughly $60mm next season so that's enough to add another piece, if necessary or available. Or just bank the money in preparation for a title run in 2014 beyond.

Curry............
Burks..............
Hayward............ Screw the pick
Favors............
Kanter..........
 
Somehow, that is an understatement...

That board's layout is like Bluesrocker and Blackswordbitch had a baby in a cave that was then ravaged by Trout's vengeful piglets.

The birthing was also blessed by DutchJazzer, and they hire NAOS as a babysitter.

#Warriors center Andris Biedrins is 1-of-9 from the FREE THROW line this season.
 
I don't understand how the warriors "And nearly toppled the Jazz in Round 2! (Sooooooo close … I'm still shaking my head.)". It was a 4-1 series.

Yeah, it was a little hiccup in an otherwise great read. He fudged the facts for dramatic effect - which casts doubt on the rest of it, but the guy can spin a great article. I love Bill Simmons.

I haven't read the article, but games one and two were REALLY close. If they win one game in those first two, everything about that series changes.

There was a crucial call late in game 2 I think where Fisher flopped and got a call that could have easily been a shooting foul. That win would have very likely given GS the series.
 
Still, the Jazz did win 4-1, which doesn't appear close at all.
So calling it "close" requires some explaining, which you guys did. Bill Simmons couldn't have without interrupting the flow of the article.
Better to be entertaining than anal.
 
Back on topic -
If the Jazz do end up with both GSW's pick AND their own pick this year maybe the Jazz can trade their own pick (pick 14 probably) + Harris (or whatever) for Curry + whatever. Maybe squeeze one of their second rounders out of them.

Jazz are in the driver's seat, so screw Lacob.
