Article - mock draft SB Nation - Jazz makes trade and selects..

[Dr. Jones]

Been away.. sorry if this has already been discussed (but it is only 5 hours old).

I am not advocating this deal (panty-wadders), just having discussion.

We trade Hayward to the Thunder? Why do we want to give them a Championship? Is this to apologize to them for fooling them into Kanter?

Sorry
So what is the trade?
Can't see it in article
Must be clueless

This shows the Jazz with 4 1st round picks. What else did they give up besides Hayward?

I was thinking about something similar earlier today. Too bad it will never happen now because it was published on SB Nation.

On today's Locked on NBA podcast Chad Ford said all picks between 3 and 8 are available because each of those teams want to improve now. With that many interested sellers I believe it could create a buyers market. I wonder if Lindsey has any desire to do a soft reboot of his rebuilding project.

I couldn't figure it out either, but rather than admit it and look stupid, I thought I'd let someone else say it first.

I hope we pursue with vigor.
I love drama.

From the 1 PM article:

The Celtics acquired Jazz forward Gordon Hayward and cash. The Suns acquire the rights to the #3 pick. The Jazz get the rights to the #4, #23 and #28 pick alongside Jonas Jerebko's non-guaranteed deal.

I'd do that trade. Of course, my track record kinda sucks but if there are doubts about re-signing Hayward might as well pull the tigger on a high draft pick.

There are a few problems with this deal, obvi, but the biggest one is that all these picks come in the same year. Gotta spread that out.

the second big problem would be at SF. Who plays there? a FA? Could Murray, Exum, and Hood play some minutes together eventually?

How's Murray's defense?
