A trade with Boston.

I'd love to see how Avery Bradley could fit in with this core! Any ideas on how to get him in a deal?

Probably have to trade some stuff.

Get real. How is this idea bad for the Jazz? What the **** is the risk? And why in the hell would Boston use it's best asset to dump a contract it doesn't really have to get rid of when there are a bunch of teams with cap space?

$10mm for a late first round draft pick? WTF am I missing here?

This is kind of rude. Mans I know you are freakazoid.

There used to be picks available for around $3M. However, with the cap increasing, not many teams will need to dump salary. However, I agree with you. If we're basically buying a pick by assuming a bad cointract, $10M is a very steep price. Only way to justify that is if Utah had to spend (or pay out the difference in player bonuses) if they were under the salary floor. But the Jazz won't be.

Boston is looking to move Wallace so they can go hard after LaMarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews. If you are Utah, do you trade for Wallace and a pick owed from Brooklyn? Brooklyn owes Boston their 2016 pick and Boston can swap with Brooklyn for their 2017 pick.

The 2017 pick could be a really, really good pick. BUT, you eat up a lot of cap space this summer. But, that pick could be a top 5, top 3 pick.

Is this team worth the pick?:

Exum/Burke/Cotton
Hood/Burks
Hayward/Wallace
Favors/Booker
Gobert/#12 pick

I might do that. I just might do that. Wallace doesn't help us much, but that pick could be amazing. Do you take that risk? I'm not sure I do. Would Boston be desperate enough to move Wallace, Brooklyn's 2017 pick and Dallas' 2016 pick? I think I do that in a heartbeat. Could you imagine getting two lottery picks for taking on Wallace's deal?

Or do you just file this away in the bad idea file and wait for it to slip to the second page and into obscurity...

Let's get a third team involved. A team with some history with Boston..

Hi Minnesota!

Utah picks up Ricky Rubio, and pacmans his contract. You're Welcome!

Wallace is sent to Minnesota to see if his old defensive prowess can spur Andy Wiggins on.

Boston picks up the incomparable Trey Burke, to see if they can have any better luck.

Picks, filler, and cash added here and there.
