Jazz actively trying to move down from #3

[A-Train (old)]

Ryan Feldman on Jazz #3:

Two teams actively trying to trade down are the Utah Jazz and Cleveland Cavaliers, according to sources.

Jonathan Givony on Jazz #3:

The team is also actively exploring trade opportunities, namely for a proven starting point guard.

Stephen Curry for #3 sounds like the deal I would do, obviously other pieces would have to be added. Golden St. has said that if the right deal came up they would trade Curry.

I'd rather see them trade the #3 entirely if decent value is there. Problem is, there won't be. Only picks 1-2 have any real legit value in this draft.

If this is true I guess we didn't like Kanter too much...

****!

 

[Sneakers]

Brandon Knight, please, for reals, zomg

 

[Sneakers]

PS This sounds made-up

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If this is true, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement for Kanter, Knight and Vesely.

Hope not. I don't think so as well.

KOC traded up to get DWill - what would be his rationale for trading down?

In 2005, he felt like he had to get to #3 or #4 to get the player he wanted. He was right. Now maybe he feels like he can pass on Kanter and/or Knight while getting a substantially equivalent player PLUS another asset. Depending on how far down he trades, he might still have a shot at one of them.

KOC should be throwing all kinds of stuff out there and seeing what sticks. Trading up, trading down, trading out. At #3 he's in a position of power. Not as much as #1 or #2, but still power. Givony may think he's actively pursuing trades, but that isn't the same as saying the Jazz want out of the draft desperately.

I am pretty sure that no one outside the Jazz organization knows what KOC is going to do unless KOC wants them to know. I highly doubt this rumor is true. I would seriously have to consider the Curry rumor but I would want a little more than Curry if we are giving up the third pick.

Are you crazy?

What Curry rumor?

 

[Dr. Jones]

We're rebuilding (presumption on my part) so I don't like the rumor we're trading down for a 'proven' PG. Only thing I could buy into is we're offering the #3 pick for a trade that includes add'l lottery picks in 2012. I just don't believe it.

 

[NotDeadYet]

KoC is exploring; as was said, if something sticks... Ya never know who someone else is gonna fall in love with. Since we appear to want to win NOW, I think we'd trade any asset for a proven vet in a heartbeat...
