Good trade for Utah. #12 in this year's draft will be doing jack **** for the Hawks.

Woohoo!

The Hawks looked like they might have been on to something last year and moving ahead of us, but now it seems like they're blowing it up again.. LOL


Kinda feel for them.
 
.....people on this board would take Hayward over Lillard? (From a few pages back....)
 
I don't understand some people. All season long we've been wanting an experienced vet, and now we have one. But then people get all angry because that's not good enough? Dang. We should just go back to Burke, because that's definitely the answer.

But we don't need Hill as an off guard. Hood, Burks and even Hayward can play there. Will Utah compete for a championship next season? If not, DL threw away a lottery pick for a one-and-done player. Far better to get a player on a rookie salary who has a CHANCE to develop and stay in Utah...and who would come much cheaper. DL just ate up valuable cap space, which may prevent him for going after any other significant FA.

Stifle you are such a negative Nellie. Weren't you one of the people venting that they hadn't splashed some money out to get a vet to help last year ?

"We want a good vet on a long-term contract at a fair price without giving up any long-term assets." - JFC's wishful thinking

The idea that one knows the 12th pick will be garbage is of course ridiculous. Even in the Andrea Bargnani draft guys like Rondo, Lowery, Milsap, PJ Tukcer were drafted after 12. Hopefully the possibility of a few extra wins with Hill will be worth it.

S.I. Gives the trade these grades:

Pacers B-
Hawks C+
Jazz A

I'm assuming the grades are projections of the 2016 - 17 season. I wonder what the grades might be in 3 years. If Hill re-signs, then the Jazz will continue to grade high, imo

This trade is absolutely asinine, Very disappointed. Trey Burke status. 100% certainty that years down the line this will look foolish.

This move doesn't make Utah a threat to the top teams in the west. This is a move to appease the fanbase, baby steps type ****.

No way is this anywhere near maximum extracted value for the pick either.. This reeks of Dennis Lindsey playing favorites..

So finally the Jazz makes a move to win now and people criticizes it?. We need to add veterans and Hill is a great fit.

Also, there might be more trades coming on draftday. The Jazz have one of the strongest scouting in the league and they might be looking to get a steal late in the first round or early second round(by trading Burke, Mack Neto or future draft picks like OKC or GSW). Moreover, this was a weak draft and selecting at 12 could have the same value than 30.

Ideally we would be dealing for a player with two years left on his contract. However I believe the Jazz did their homework with Hill and he might want to stay long-term. It seems this trade has been on the works for some time.

Overall, I'm happy with the trade. Hopefully the Jazz makes more trades tomorrow (Burke, Mack, Neto, picks) for a late 1st rounder and acquire a player with same or even higher potential than at 12 (and at a smaller salary)
