Jazz May Be A Part of 3-Team Deal w/ Clippers

[Gyp Rosetti]

I guess my optimal situation would be something like acquiring Mo + 17, then flipping Harris and 17 for a pick in the top 12. I don't really believe this is realistic, but it sure would be awesome.

This. Maybe even Portland at #11, who needs a point, would do Harris and #17 for #11. For a one year rental, I doubt they'd do it but you never know.

If we could do it though, we'd have the #11 pick, GS pick, and Jefferson as major assets. Huge, huge, huge to jump up to snag Lillard or MKG.

Except that Williams strengths don't conflict with the strengths of the rest of the roster, unlike Harris.

Williams is more of a half-court guy, no? Doesn't the rest of our roster (minus Jefferson) suggest we get an up tempo, push point?

Harris + the GSW pick is worth a lottery pick. However, please bear in mind that the 2013 GSW pick is already expected to be a lottery pick.

Harris alone is worth a mid first rounder at least. Crap, Chase Buddinger just got traded for the #18 (although that was a Minnesota deal). This draft isn't all that.

williams strengths absolutely conflict with the rest of the roster. he's a ball-dominating guy who likes to take the least effective shot in basketball.

and GVC, you have to be kidding me. george hill is NOT better than devin by any measure. c'mon.

you're proving my point. harris is clearly better than george hill or chase budinger, who are role players at best. so if those two guys can get you 15-18 straight up, devin can buy you a late lotto pick.

I would also consider something like:

Harris + 17 + GS pick for a top 6-7 pick.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

question for nerd, gvc, kicky or anyone else. if this trade went down, would it go down tonight prior to the draft or on the spot so that we essentially draft at #17? or is this a, mavs draft who we want at #17, and deal can't go down til after 7/1 or some ****?

I'm still waiting for someone, anyone to answer this. I like Mo, but at 8.5M, for a year when we already have Harris, not so much. So why do this? We better get two 2nds or a 1st out of this. Minimally.

Why do you care about the $$$? It's only a one year deal so it doesn't effect our FA in 2013. If Miller is willing to pay, I like it.

 

[baka98]

in any trade scenario, the team with the most incentive to leak a proposed deal is the "seller." that way word gets out that team A is about to acquire so-and-so for such-and-such a price, and it motivates other teams to call and try to outbid team A.

I understand that. But what I'm wondering is what if there is another deal predicated upon this deal and the other party the Jazz are working with won't agree unless they saw something concrete. Just speculating, that's all...

 

[Stoked]

Very interesting. Hope the part about 17th pick is true.

if it happens before the first round begins, then the pick is ours and we make the pick.

if it's not submitted/approved until during the 1st round, then what typically happens is that dallas makes the pick for us. it would be announced as dallas' pick, but we would know that the pick was coming our way in most scenarios.

Because as nerd so obviously pointed out, we shouldn't be helping out our competitors simply for the sake of being nice. mo improves us yes, and we get what, one or two more wins next year maybe? so what.
