With the 35th Pick... Jarnell Stokes (traded)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Memphis could easily be worse than us 2 years from now doe.

Randolph/Gasol aren't getting younger and they are still a cheap team.

 

[kabenac]

This is Memphis getting us back for the Ronnie Brewer trade.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Need to get more than a second rounder, losing value, especially as deep as the draft is this year.

Agree. Why not draft and stash a Euro? Memphis' pick next season will be in the back half of the 2nd round in a weaker draft. Lost a TON of value on this trade.

Minnesota just traded #44 for $1 million.

2016 2nd round pick > $1 million

 

[kabenac]

No mention of cash....

 

[Avery]

Well, they announced it on the draft that no cash was involved, so I guess that's that.

Still don't get it. It was already said earlier, but it's as if I ask you to give me $20 today and you give me $10 back to cover it.

How do you figure? If you can trade for a second round pick this year for a million bucks, it's probably about the same in 2016

Tavares>2016 second rounder

Okay, let's say that they are one of the worst teams. That means they will need to be in the bottom five in the league and select somewhere between #31 and #35 to come out even.

Maybe the Jazz are simply looking at the roster knowing Neto and Tomic are coming over and roster spots just won't be there. I get that, but it still seems that Memphis should be paying us more.

 

[cowhide]

2nd round pick does not tie up a roster spot.

You don't have to sign the player if he sucks. Just basically throwing the pick away is dumb. They could have taken Traveras and kept him over in Europe for 3 years. What are they going to do next year just give their picks away because they have two many young guys. Memphis's pick next year will be below 40. They could have taken Clarkson and told him to play in Europe for a few years and then if Burke leaves or Neto doesn't pan out you bring him over in a few years.

I'm saying I'd rather have a 2nd rounder than just cash.

 

[The Thriller]

I'm changing my mind. I don't like this trade and I agree w/most on his board. We shouldn't have traded it.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

What do the stats say about 2nd round picks? Does a high 2nd round pick statistically make the league more often than a mid-2nd, or a late 2nd?

If there is no money involved, I think it's just a case of us not seeing any stashable player we loved and rolling the dice on a draft in 2016. Jazz had a good foreign scouting team, so maybe we forecast talent in Europe in 2016.

 

[Avery]

Philly still has 6,232 picks this round. Let's see how many more injured/international players they can take.

I'll take the million, personally.

 

[Game6Conley]

Theres a chance the 2016 draft is very deep. Especially if the rule changes happen and players from the following draft reclassify.

Explain. What rule changes?

 

[kabenac]

Pierre Jackson alert!

I think it goes to the team but I don't know the CBA that well. @GVC, do fans get any of the money in a case like this?

I think he's referring to the two-year college minimum.
