Hawes Trade- For Refernce

I kind of wish the Jazz weren't tanking and we could capitalize on all these cheap players.

Imagine if these where the Dwill/Boozer days and we could have just snagged Hawes for 2 2nd round picks?

This is why the Jazz should have tanked in the shortened lockout season. They could have grabbed Hawes for two 2nd rounders and had this lineup:

Lillliard, Burke
Hayward, Burks
Barnes, Marvin
Favors, Kanter
Hawes, Gobert

Can't live in the past, just gotta look towards the future.

Confused as to how we would have gotten two lottery picks from tanking in last year's draft.

Also confused as to how we could have gotten Barnes, Lillard and Burke. Burke only possible because we had the GS pick that enabled trading up. Also had Jazz tanked to #6, knocking GS back to 8th, would Portland have then taken Barnes at #7?

You then have to think, even had that happened, adding Lillard and Barnes would have made the Jazz a playoff team. Under that scenario, instead of losing the 2012 pick to Minnesota (Jefferson deal), it would have gone to them last year.
 
Hawes averages 13, pulls down 8.5 a game, over 3 assists a game, 1.3 blocks and shoots 40% from three and almost 80% from the foul line. He's 7'1 and doesn't even get paid that much. What a deal for the Cavs.

We had better land Jabari.
 
Jazz could be starting Rondo, Burks, Deng, Favors, & Hawes, with Trey, Turner, Kanter, and Hayward as the second unit. Crazy year.

Allah this
 
Hawes shoots 45%. He often disappears statistically. In the previous 5 games, he had 15 pts and 16 pts against the Lakers (no center) and Jazz (Favors played 6 mins). His other three games? 0 against Clippers, 6 against GS, 2 against Cleveland. He's only a starter because he plays on such a terrible team. He'll be a backup wherever else he plays.

Pretty hard to get motivated when you play on the Sixers, who run the fastest paced offense and regularly jack up 3's with 18 seconds on the shot clock.

Still..... 2nd round picks bro

Amazing what teams can get for salary dumps. We got two 1st's and a couple of seconds for helping GS dump salary. Two seconds is very good for a 1/2 yr rental as Hawes is a FA. Still, how many 2nd round picks even make a roster and/or stick for multiple years? It is a good strategy by Philly: acquire every 2nd round pick in the league and perhaps get a couple of rotation players out of it.
 
For the future maybe. For this year, it's not even close, Hawes.

Kanter shooting better (50% vs. 45%). Rebounds almost the same (Kanter 2 fewer in 6 less mins/per). Hawes 7 years in the league; stats have peaked. Kanter 3 years in league, stats still going up (despite his struggles). Hawes $6.5M; Kanter $4.5M.
 
Holy ISH. I just remembered, THE SIXERS HAVE ARNETT MOULTRIE. This isn't a tank move, it's opening up time FOR THE PRIDE OF MISSISSIPPI STATE. GO MOULTRIE!!!
