The Jazz are trading D-Will to New Jersey!?

I dont know man. It depends on what the Nets get done in the next year or so...That owner wants to spend money.

Agreed. But if his boyz (notice the z) are in NYC, or if LA or Orlando find a way to free up cap space and get a hold of him, he may not think twice.

I am missing the vision of this deal (if any)

This just about sums it up.

Still in complete shock. Just when I was starting to realize that sloan was actually gone....

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

Currently the Nets (now us) are slated to get the 6th pick in the draft. based on projections anyway. Obviously they may improve and that could tumble down to 10.

 

[The-Joker]

Our own pick is top 15 protected, so we will almost certainly get to use it this year. The two picks combined could be valuable.

ya I imagine ours ends up being around 13... is that late enough to pick up Jimmer? and we can roll the dice on an earlier player such as Brandon Knight

Not sure, either. My money is on DWill going to another team after next season.

one last thing, I really think D-Will HATES change. OK, that's a strong word, but I really don't think he likes it one bit. And I think he liked Utah overall.
But...
life goes on

I sort of hope that there is a lockout next season. I think I need a break from the NBA.

Not at six but later in the draft, Tyler Honeycutt intrigues me. Ucla is all about defense and the kid's a 6'8" wing who sounds like he has a very good combo of attributes.

Jazz and NJ had a decent trade.

Giving a true superstar first NBA elite young PG for players/picks in the range of Gordan Hayward (plus Devin Harris) is as much as rape as any trade in NBA history, perhaps with the exception of Gasol. And it's not like our hand was even forced, like Denver's was. We just removed by moderator.

Well he was probably leaving soon anyways. Might as well get something now. Jazz get a better deal than the Nuggets did for their star and new draft picks could be great. Maybe Utah can grab Dwight or someone else big in a year or two.

Yea because Dwight is going to want to leave Orlando to play for Utah without DW. Man some fans are delusional.

I'm saying this sincerely, and from my own experience. But you can totally do this on your own.

and I appreciate those of you who have some sense of all of the CBA stuff, and Bird rights, and the draft process and all this other stuff that looks like hieroglyphics to me when I try to understand it - thanks for your comments, it may take me 'til summer to digest all this, but at least by then we'll know how this season and the draft ended up

which reminds me, do the Jazz get any picks in this year's draft? I can't even remember what I read a few posts back...
