I guess we don't want a lottery pick this year if we are making it so they get the pick no matter what.... No kendall marshal...

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'd do it for the pick becoming unprotected next year and GSW's 2nd this year.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Jazz send: Raja Bell & all rights to lottery pick this year
W's send: Klay Thompson

Yeah right huh?

subjective value

I guess we don't want a lottery pick this year if we are making it so they get the pick no matter what.... No kendall marshal...

I would frame it this way: the pick is subjectively worth more to the Warriors than to the Jazz, so the Jazz are going to try to extract as much value from the Warriors as possible, potentially exploiting GS's desperation and paranoia over possibility of losing the pick. I'll reserve judgment until I see the deal, but I think that the leverage is favorable towards the Jazz (given the "subjective value" of the negotiators). And I have some faith in KOC.

I'd do it for the pick becoming unprotected next year and GSW's 2nd this year.

That would be attractive, especially because GS potentially has 2 firsts and 2 seconds, and no way they are bringing in and developing 4 rookies. My hunch is that GS will want to pawn off one of their seconds (although their first round pick is last, so not that much difference)

 

[UGLI baby]

Warriors are desperate. I think we can get more from them than just taking off the protection from the pick next year.

 

[slc]

So who would everyone want at that #35 pick?

 

[Weezur]

I'd do a trade....we only have 26% chance at keeping it anyways and it seems like they're desperate enough to put a dumbhash trade on the block.

 

[BluesRocker]

Thats that man right there. KOC is going to give that pick back to them for something stupid.

 

[larryselbows]

Could the 35th pick get us Q. Miller?

 

[NAOS]

they keep their pick + we give them our second rounder next year. They give us their 30th and 35th picks. We give them top-10 protection for their pick next year.

I say we try to fleece these mother ****ers.
