I did like kkk's trade for Barnes... intriguing.

Thanks!!!!!!

I just want the best possible FAs that would accept coming off the bench and win now. The pressure to win still be on the young guys and at maximum it would give us 4-5 wins.

On the topic of nickkk's trade idea for Barnes, who would you guys pick between he and MKG at this point?

 

[Coach Ellis]

Barnes. I think he'd be a beast for the Jazz. If the Warriors are serious about Dwight Howard, the Jazz should look at the possibility of taking on Barnes, Bogut and maybe one more expiring contract for a future 1st round pick (not 2014 and lottery protected) to allow Golden State to add Dwight without having to get L. A. to play ball. Howard sounds like he's willing to take less money to leave, but Golden State won't be able to work out a sign and trade. Land Barnes for the future, dump Bogut after the season and still have a draft pick that can potentially turn into another core player.

Well I think Barnes is a much better fit for the Jazz 'right now'.


On a team like the GSW, however, I think MKG would be a better fit (i.e., they have enough scoring/shooting with Curry/Thompson/Lee).
