Marc Stein: Jazz-Warriors discuss pre-Lottery trade (Source says trade "likely")

[PKM]

I read that as "heard" at first and got excited.

It would suck if the pick dropped to 8, but you can't really rely on 26% odds.

Even so .. I think I may take next year's unprotected and Rush for this year's #8. Yes, actually.

[Hantlers]

We can't sign and trade for Rush before the draft.

Do NOT tell me what we can or cannot do. Thanks.

We can't sign and trade for Rush before the draft.

We also can't put the board's collective ideas into motion, so we're splitting hairs. I'm currently working on a 3 team deal that sends out Jefferson and Bell and takes back Steve Nash and Drazen Petrovic.

For a trade that's imminent there's very little updates as to what's going on.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. For a trade that is so likely to happen you would think someone would know what was involved, besides the 7th/8th pick. I'm kind of excited to see just how desperate the Warriors are.

The deal will be done, tomorrow, from what I'm told. Though we may not know the details for a month.

The board will go into complete meltdown mode if it drops to the 8th and no one knows what we got out of it.

I want to know what is going on and I want to know right now..... JK, thank you for the information.

I will be one of those.

Never really thought of that .. but what little I was told was a deal WILL (100%) be done, but it may not be made public until draft day. I have no idea what the details are (I've asked) but just sharing (kinda wish I hadn't, I think).

[Broncster]

I will be one of those.

I already punched a baby in the face.

Dont know if it is related but can you all be my witnesses that it is?

[bigmike]

Could the trade be "conditional?" I.e., Utah receives additional compensation if the results of the lottery drop the pick to #8? I know the NFL allows conditional picks that are tied into performances of a player involved.

And also...terms of the trade wouldn't be known until draft day? What in the hell could that mean? Are current players/picks not allowed to be traded right now?

I'm going back to my original prediction. $$$ plus a drop in protection in 2013/2014.
