Trade Idea;

Minny calls up Utah and offers them; Flynn, Wesley Johnson, Darko, for Okur, the 12th pick & our G.S. pick next year. What would you guys do? I think that you gambe and take the deal. Flynn would be a great speedy little backup. Johnson has a 7 ft 1 wingspan, and Darko would be a great backup. Plus there hasn't been a new thread in a day or to.
 
I keep thinking that the Golden State pick is going to be awesome. But Golden State might have some money this summer depending on the new cba. And if they added someone like Dalembert, to be paired up with David Lee. I think there a playoff team. And then the pick won't be all that great? But, who knows? And do I really want Flynn running the Jazz in 2 years? Or Darko being the 3rd big? Or Hayward playing the 3, with Johnson at the 2?
 
I don't think we should give up the GS pick next year.
After the crappy draft this year, we are going to need to be able to draft talent next year when tons of good players will declare.

How awesome could it be? It's top 7 protected.

If Flynn did not have such a horrible year you would have to think about it. Now if it were Rubio instead and he says he would play in Utah, then I would definitely do it.
 
Recent examples J. Noah went around 8-9, Brook Lopez went 8-10, Anthony Randolph like 13, Josh Smith like 13 Danny Granger 13, Gallenari8-9, but with every great pick at that number, there our 3 bust not being mentioned.

Rubio hasn't looked much better then Flynn :)

Well, the thinking is that he will be a better NBA player than his numbers show in Europe. There are the Steve Nash (but not as good a shooter) comparisions that are bandied. Certainly he would be a risk. But Rubio, Hayward, Johnson, Favors, and Jefferson could be a great lineup in a couple of years.

That would be an AMAZING lineup. And if we could get the rights to Rubio, and Johnson, while taking the contract of Darko on. I'd pull that trigger. But, I don't really see them giving him up that easy. Might ask for more.

The Jazz say no. This season, Flynn looked like a guy who might not be in the league after his rookie contract is up. Wesley Johnson was a somewhat unimpressive 23 year old rookie who failed to make any in-season improvements. Darko is Darko.

In a way, Flynn and Johnson almost represent the worst case scenarios for those draft picks and I'd rather roll the dice than accept the known negatives of those two.

KEK thought about it because he was a big Wesley Johnson fanboy, but the ship sailed on that one. He's a virtual guarantee to be a bust at the fourth pick given his age and production level.
 
And if they wouldn't bite on that trade for Rubio. What I might be more intrigued with, would be Luke Ridhour, Wesley Johnson for Raja Bell and our 6th pick. Plus rights, to our other Euro player, we have rights to. Not Tomic.

Ridhour would be a perfect backup for Harris

I'm still holding out hope. He started off the year very well and then tumbled into a downward spiral in 2011.
