Would you do this trade with Washington?

[Golfman]

Here's my trade idea

Utah trades #3 (and maybe Raja smell along with it)

Washington trades #6 and #18

I would only do this trade if we were planning on drafting a PG with our 3rd pick. Sliding down to 6 still pretty much guarantees us Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, or Jimmer. And to be honest, it's almost a coin flip between these 3 who ends up better down the road, especially between Knight and Walker. And I, an avid Utah fan, am warming up to the idea of Jimmer. I think he'll be better defensively than people think, although he was admittedly atrocious in college.

If KOC wants to draft Kanter at #3, I would NOT do this trade. I think the drop off after 3 is huge, except in the PG department.

Why would Washington do this? If the are interested in Kanter, they'd do it. They have no need for a PG, and at #6 the best player available will probably be a PG or a Euro.

The #18 pick in a weak draft really isn't incentive to drop three picks. Jazz are getting hosed in value here.

Two replies. "No" and "Hell No."

It's odd then how I was the first person to actually vote "Nope" in the poll, then.

I actually forgot to vote. Fixed that. Thanks! I only voted once, though, don't want to skew the results.

You have to get more than that. Somebody is really going to want whoever is there at #3, weather it's Kanter, Williams or Irving. If Valenciunas withdraws tomorrow Kanter's value will become even more inflated.

Not really being sold on Kanter or Williams I'd sell to the highest bidder among 4-7.

Let me ask you this. If someone said we'll give you the 18th pick, but you don't get to choose between Kemba and Knight, would you do it? I sure would.

And I'll repeat, I'd only do this if we were looking for a PG with our first pick.

And the #18 pick won't be terrible. Fords latest mock draft has Marshon Brooks at #18.

I would take a combination of Knight/Walker and Brooks over just getting to pick between Knight and Walker.

No...

They'd have to include pick 34 as well.
This would mean Jazz give up Kanter but can pickup either Valanciunas or Bismack (@6) + Fredette @ 12 + Jeremy Tyler (@18) + Jimmy Butler @ 34.

I don't know if I'd do it, but the 34th pick would have to be included before I'd consider it. If they threw in their 2012 pick unprotected then yeah I probably would.

Who is going to give us more than #6 and #18? The Jazz got the #3 pick when we picked Deron and we gave Portland #6, #27, and #30.

Seems fair and realistic, more so than the majority of unrealistic trades I see on this forum.

That's actually a good point. Throwing in 34 would sweeten the deal. But I don't think they would bite. That's more than we gave up to Portland to get Deron and move up from 6 to 3.
