Jazz-Bulls-GS Trade rumor

[Favors Flave]

We probably would have worked out some players if the front office was thinking about trading

I look at it as Biedrins getting his big contract and then just getting lazy. He had half a good year and got way overpaid. I don't like that trade at all. If the Jazz are taking on that money then they should be getting the 7th pick.

I don't like that trade at all because of Biedrins contract and poor attitude.

He had 3 straight pretty good years but had a really bad relationship with Don Nelson from what I heard. He has always had really good per 48 #'s but always struggled to stay on the floor due to fouls. I wouldn't mind taking him on. He can rebound and block shots and a change of scenery may do him good.

He shoots free throws worse than Howard and I couldn't even stand Favors for stretches

So is Rose out all next year?

I don't think so. But he tore his ACL in the playoffs. Even if he makes it back next year it will be near the end of the season. If they are not in the playoffs or in the hunt they are not going to play him at all. If they unload Deng their odds of being a playoff team go down again.

What if it is Richard Jefferson instead of Biedrens? Same years, about the same money and plays the needed position of SF. No need to resign Miles or Howard then.

More creamy:

How about Jefferson, Beeds and Steph for Jefferson, Harris, and their pick back? Gives them about $28mm in cap space next summer vs. none otherwise. Gives Jazz about $16mm in space if they don't re-up on Sap (considering about $8mm cap hold for Curry). Solves the problem of luring a big name into Utah via free agency.

If the jazz are inlove with a specific player like Lillard, they probably don't want to bring them in to throw off ther teams that might be interested. Or cause teams to jump ahead to pick whoever the jazz might want. If the jazz had a mid first thats another story. I'm sure they did their homework at the combine or traveled to other workouts. Don't give up yet.

The poster of the trade (ralphb07) said that it could possibly be Richard Jefferson instead of Biedrins. Which would make more sense.

Jefferson shoots over 40 percent from the 3. Overpaid for sure but would be better than Miles or Josh Howard. 2 years left at 9 Million. Than add in the draft picks. Who knows maybe trade Millsap or Jefferson to get into the lottery with all the draft picks we would have.

I was just about to post this

What would a package including #29, 30, Bulls 2013 first, GSW protected pick, Jazz 2014 first fetch? (and Jefferson/Harris/Millsap if they want)

5 late first round picks for Rondo? Too much or too little?

This ain't the NFL. Late firsts are pretty worthless. Outside the lottery, you generally have just a couple of guys who end up surprising and becoming legit starters, let alone all-stars. Rondo would require at least one early lottery pick...think a package just slightly less than what the Jazz got for Deron.

And without a 1st-round pick, it's likely agents wouldn't let projected 1st-rounders work out for the Jazz. It decreases the perceived value of that player.

No way this rumor is real.

 

[franklin]

Even though they are..... would they turn down a better talent for Iggy? If Brand only has 1 year left why can't he come off the bench? He isn't really effective anymore right? Whether they have Millsap or not does it make sense to start Brand just because he makes 18 million?

Brand was pretty decent last season.

Are Turner and Thad ready to hold down the 3? I guess I don't see the value in creating holes in a team just to acquire a Millsap-level talent. Getting a star, sure... I think it makes perfect sense in some situations to trade for less value when it improves the team, especially when a logjam sits. If you think Sap improves them then I don't see why this trade isn't automatic for the Jazz or Phili. GSW should jump on that too as they'd have a complete team if healthy (Bogut-Lee is a very intriguing front, Iggy, Klay, Steph backcourt should be solid. Great rebounding team, good defensive potential, plenty of scoring from post, iso, outside shooting, veteran smarts, pnr,).
