Utah Jazz and Enes Kanter Workout Report

Well, it has at least been reported that the Jazz really like Kemba, so maybe they are trading down to get him. Maybe they are getting a future 1st from Washington? Possible 3 way trade?

I don't care if the Jazz get a future unprotected 1st from Washington (best case scenario IMO). If the Jazz trade down for Kemba (thus assuring that they've passed on either Kanter or Knight), I won't even have the words for how stupid that is.

I'm sure KOC will be very upset you aren't pleased.

Absolutely.

According to NBA.com Consensus Mock Draft this is the list of who will be left at #6 pick and below:

- #6 - Walker
- #7 - Leonard
- #8 - Vesely
- #9 - Biyombo
- #10 - Burks
- #11 - Thompson
- #12 - Morris

See anybody there you think could have us in a meaningful way?

Yikes. If they threw in an unprotected 2012 pick I might be ok trading down if it got them Valanciunas. I think I've seen enough promise in JV to accept him instead of Kanter if it gets the Jazz their unprotected 2012 pick. JV still needs another year or two in Europe though.

There's a possibility I'd be ok trading down to Biyombo too even though, excited as I am about him, I haven't watched nearly enough of him to do be willing to do this with any confidence.

But yeah, don't know that Washington would give up their 2012 pick unprotected and then it wouldn't be worth it. Best to just take Kanter.
 
Kanter has nothing to gain by keeping things quiet. If word gets out that the Jazz *love* him, it will do nothing but make the Cavs and Wolves consider him for their picks and have other teams inquire about trading up with the Jazz to get him.
 
The Jazz aren't going to trade #3 for #6 in this or any draft. If there is a player the Jazz like, they should just take him. No one is going to criticize them for picking at 3 instead of 6, but if they miss out on a good player they could have had, someone could get fired.

No one on the Jazz ever gets fired.

My compilation is better :-)... but for what it's worth I have the same individuals in almost the same order.
6 Kawhi Leonard (11-11-11-11-10-9-5-6-7-8)
7 Kemba Walker (5-5-5-5-5-6-7-5-5-7)
8 Jonas Valanciunas (7-4-8-7-8-7-9-8-8-5)
9 Bismack Biyombo (8-8-7-8-7-8-8-9-9-9)
10 Alec Burks (9-9-9-10-9-10-10-10-10-10)
11 Tristan Thompson (12-15-13-13-12-12-11-11-11-11)
12 Marcus Morris (14-14-12-12-13-13-13-12-12-12)

Not to worry. KOC isn't remotely dumb enough to do it.

While an unprotected 2012 pick from Washington sounds exciting at first, it comes with no guarantees. Washington could move up to 3, pick Kanter (a great compliment to John Wall) and who's to say that Washington doesn't make some sort of weak-*** Eastern Conference playoff run and sneaks into the 8 seed with 37 wins? Thus, leaving us out of the lottery and having seriously undervalued the #3 pick we traded to them.

Utah rolled the dice when they dealt D-Will and their reward was lottery luck that vaulted them into the top 3. Sometimes you have to simply capitalize on the luck you've had, instead of trying to parlay it into more luck. As I've said quite a few times already, at that point it becomes extremely easy to out-smart yourself.

The fascination that some Jazz fans have with trading down in this draft is simply mind-boggling.
