Yep, like I saidLike I said. trolo.

I would probably do it. Jazz have a losing culture. UK knows nothing but winning. I don't think they've even lost a game this season.
Although we agree on the conclusion, I disagree with your analysis. You state it as if the UK guys are simply big and void of skill or basketball talent, which is really dumb.Nah, the jazz just ended a 3.5 year relationship with a Kentucky guy. Color me unimpressed.
The team the jazz has is great. Team chemistry is coming together, players are developing new skills and there is improvement on several fronts. Kentucky players rely on their athletic or physical superiority at all 5 positions to win. If those players made it to the nba, and they were no longer superior athletes, they would struggle.
It is certainly an amazing team, but there are only 4 to 5 guys on the Kentucky roster that will even make it to the NBA in some lasting way. I wouldn't trade 12 for 12, but would certainly trade a number of Jazz pieces for Karl Anthony Towns. It is also likely that Utah will have its choice of Wildcats in the draft as Cauley-Stein and Lyles will both be available when Utah will likely pick in the late lottery and Dakari and the Harrison twins will be there in the 2nd round for either of Utah's picks there. No need to trade for a roster, when you can probably just pick the ones you might want.
Personally I might consider trading a bag of peanuts for the KY roster.
I would trade it.Better question would be if you would trade the Jazz roster for any 15 players from this draft.

Thats a lot of talent. Its probably more talent than the Jazz have but I would still stick with our team because we have some proven players in the NBA and I like this roster. I am guessing a lot of GMS would trade their roster for that lineup though.
There's that AFAM major at work again.
I'd do it for their 2011/12 roster.
