Twitter says this pick will be traded. Stokes is going to Memphis.

Sounds that way.

 

[The Thriller]

Twitter says Jarnell Stokes from Tennessee.

I actually like this guy. He can score and rebound.

 

[Qman]

Apparently we are getting a future pick.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

So we may be done for the night....unless DL has a trick up his sleeve.

What is the trade for? Memphis doesn't have another pick.

 

[infection]

What are we getting back from Memphis? A white suede jump suit?

Apparently we are getting a 2nd round pick next year.

Grizzlies will send the Jazz a 2016 2nd round pick for the draft rights to Jarnell Stokes.

 

[Coach Ellis]

There was a lot of chatter that the Jazz would trade out of that spot. Still kind of hoping they just buy a pick for a draft and stash player. There's a lot on the board that I really like.

 

[The Thriller]

Ok now my twitter updates and says it's traded...

What's it for?

Need to get more than a second rounder, losing value, especially as deep as the draft is this year.

 

[Ron Mexico]

WTF, why not take a stash player or one of the decent players still available. Why trade it for a late 2nd next year in a much weaker draft?

 

[Avery]

Why trade for a lower second rounder? I don't get it.

This makes no sense unless there's more to it. The 35 pick this year will almost certainly be much better than whatever the Grizz's pick is next year.

 

[Hantlers]

I don't get why we would trade for a pick that's most likely going to be a lot lower than this one, in a draft that doesn't look nearly as deep...but I'm still happy with the draft.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Seems like a weird trade. Maybe the Jazz project more European talent in 2016? Maybe just doing Memphis a favor so they can get an in-state product?

 

[Jazz4ever]

With draft and stashers Inglis and Bogdan off the board, can't really blame DL for trading out here. No minutes for anyone else.

 

[kabenac]

Yeah - it would be stupid to draft Stokes for a 2016 2nd. That makes no sense. I agree with those of you who suggest a stash.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Assuming there is cash involved.
