Marc Stein: Jazz-Warriors discuss pre-Lottery trade (Source says trade "likely")

Catchall said:
I'm just saying, I don't see what the Ws have that would make us want to give up our chance at the pick. We've got nothing to lose by taking our swing with a .280 hitter, and we don't have much if anything to gain by making a deal with GSW, unless the Jazz are high on a player expected to be there at the last pick of the first round.

Edit: So you weigh the value of backing out of the #8 pick this year vs. the value of lowering pick protection next year. I'd rather take door #1 because we have a shot at a good player at #8.

I can see how people want the pick and want this so called pg of the future but the jazz are going to have to be very lucky to have all the stars line up to get what they want. I like the idea of doing an unprotected pick next year and use 3 million to get around the top 15 and maybe doing a few trades from their if they are high on a player in the top 10. Every year someone is so high on someone on this board it they end up being a joke.

As I've pointed out, I don't find it unreasonable. Even if they give us next year's 1st, unprotected, it may be ****. This year's draft class is much stronger than next year's, and considering that it's likely that that said unprotected next year wouldn't likely be #8 but probably more in the #11-13 range, then it's even worse. Asking for #30 and 35 back to offset that while giving them #47 in return isn't asking for the world.

The 30/35 for 47 may well be worth it assuming the rest of the deal remains the same. I would consider it Plan B. But Plan A is still getting a guaranteed 1st. Any unconditional or guaranteed 1st, however, takes those picks out of the question. A guaranteed 1st is the biggest card, and we'd have to give up something to get it.

I like how everyone thinks we are missing out of some all star with the 8th pic. I say take the most gs is willing to give up for it because we have a lot of other options we can do in the draft or the off season. I like the 3 million to use on another pic and unprotected next year. I would like an unprotected next year, their latter pic this year and 3 million but that might be too much.

Nope. It's not that at all. If we don't have a pick this year it means we will see raja bell,Cj miles and watson/tinsley with more playing time than they deserve.

Right. That's a tough call for me, but I'm the guy saying if you have a chance at a #8 pick in this draft, you'd better take it.

With that I'm torn. So I agree, to an extent. Understanding odds and being in a gambling group (I'm not), I look at it through those goggles. Odds against us this year. Level those odds out by getting unprotected next year. Playing the thin line odds .. so much more to it than that, for sure, but that's the starting point.

We can agree to disagree then. 'Cause imo, the Warriors are very likely to be better next year, thus making the protected/unprotected conditions moot.

Raja cj are gone but I do agree we need a pg. Jazz have some options.
 
The Warriors sitting in the 10th slot next year with no protection at least gives the Jazz a chance at a top 3 pick - something they have no opportunity of with the current protections...just throwing that out there...

Uh, mark Jackson was a better player than Andre Miller so that makes no sense.

I was looking at all time assists, and Andre Miller is starting to work his way up there. Kind of surprising. I wonder how much longer he can play? Miller in the 10th spot, 2300 behind Mark. He probably won't pass him, but might end up pretty close. Miller, with his ground game, might play a long time.
 
Just throwing my vote in with Wes. I've watched 15+ pages enough to know we're on the same page. If KOC gets on here tomorrow and takes a vote, and I'm unavailable, I'll vote with Mantooth. Just sayin'.

I wouldn't want either one. They are both are just like what our bench is now.
 
If the Jazz can get a pick in the top half of this draft, that would be awesome. We have a 28% with GSW's pick, and we need to cover the balance with trade scenarios. If GSW can help us, then fine, but who cares what they want...

PJIII, TJones, Marshall, Lilliard, TRoss, Moultrie, Q.Miller, Rivers, Harkness, Waiters, Taylor, and two orders of Lamb..... *licks chops*
