Marc Stein: Jazz-Warriors discuss pre-Lottery trade (Source says trade "likely")

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

FWIW, the local press here in SF has been talking about THE PICK like it's front-page news. The fans in GSW would have gone postal if the Ws didn't get their pick.

How can you possibly make that statement without knowing what was offered?

I'm assuming they just offered next year's pick to be something like Top 3 protected, which isn't going to do much because the Warriors probably won't be that terrible next year. I would assume we are looking at a pick between 8-12 next year.

This x everything.

The flip side is we'll very likely have two 1sts next year and maybe even two lottery picks. That would be two shots at Shabazz. Now, I'm sort of excited again.

You forget one of those is top 6 protected?

You know what happens when you assume.

Because a shot at #8 was better than what they likely offered, which I'd imagine is the reason talks broke off.

You forget one of those is top 6 protected?

No. Hence, likely.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Something about you two hooking up, right?

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

No. Hence, likely.

No, you said we would have two lotto picks next year, meaning two shots at Shabazz. Only one of those would give us a shot as Shabazz.

Meaning two shots at winning the lottery, to get Shabazz. I'm not sure what's so tough to figure out here.

Did anyone notice how the Warriors GM winked to someone in the crowd after they got the pick?

One of the picks is Top 6 protected, meaning we don't get it if it's number 1. I'm not sure what's so tough to figure out here.

I also don't see us being a lottery team next year in any way unless Favors, Hayward, Burks, and Kanter don't improve at all and Millsap is injured.
