The perfect draft trade.

Yea, because trading up in the lottery is such an insane and laughable idea.

You only trade DOWN if you think a lower ranked player around the league is going to project better than where he is. Only thing available at six will likely be a PG or foreign player. You trade the number one, a PG, for that? It doesn't fit your ridiculous notion of Minnesota being "stacked" at PG and SF, since that's who they'd draft at 6 anyway. And Williams and Irving are going to provide much more short term and likely long term than whatever they'd get at six.

You draft the best player regardless of position. You don't trade out of it solely because you believe you have good players at that position.
 
I don't how they can sell trading a top 2 pick(if it ends up being there) to their fans for 2 lesser picks in a weak draft.
 
Dear Minnesota,

Since you are bursting with talent at the 1 and 3, there is no need for you to draft any more good players so take this pupu platter of #'s 6 and 12 in the worst draft in memory so we can have a good player. Thanks. If that doesn't work, will you take CJ Miles and Raja Bell and the #12 for Kevin Love?

Sincerely,

This.
 
Minnesota has Ricky Rubio and Flynn, Wesley Johnson and Beasley. I would bet money if they have a top two pick that they don't draft Irving or Williams. Or they trade the players or the pick.

Constructing an argument that a 17-65 team is "stacked" at certain positions because of Jonny Flynn and Wesley Johnson should be grounds for instant mockery.

Then again this is David Kahn we're talking about. So I guess anything is possible.

But at a minimum hold your horses until after the lottery so we know who and what we're really working with.

1) It's hard to be as good or better than Deron
2) He has a decent chance of being comparable or even better.

Jazz don't need a point as good as Deron Williams to win a championship. Hell, they don't even need a point as good as Devin Harris. They need big damn bodies that can bang in the paint and rebound. And quick perimeter defenders. DWill didn't win us **** in the end.

You are correct, Flynn and Johnson is not stacked, but add Rubio and Beasley and that is enough depth at those positions.

Let's see. Choice. Hmmm... A guy who pretty much sucked his rookie year and a guy who was the offensive focus of a 17 win team. Add in a second year guy who disappeared, and a kid who regressed in Euroleague. Seems like a lot of depth to me.
