Important TANK alert

But, in this scenario we have assets to pull off the same trade and we don't need anything in return maybe a pick down the road. And we sabotage Lakers move to ensure their tank job.

I am not in tha fan of making trades just to sabotage the Lakers (or any other team). No thanks. I want trades that further the Jazz's own goals. Not trades just to mess with other teams.
 
It would be killing two birds with one stone. We don't do it to just hurt the Lakers. But, to stop them from making moves that we can't compete with and we go all in with our youth development season/tank. This is chess and sometimes you have to think a couple of moves before to win the game.
 
Imagine the Lakers with Parker or Wiggins. Now they have already started with a better player plus they have the ability to draw big time free-agents. We would be giving up ground on two fronts.

I agree but you seem to be thinking about things that should have no bearing on Utah's decisions. If they trade for Bynum it should be based on what he does for (or more likely to) Utah and their current goals. I hate the Lakers but pulling things off just to upset them is horrible policy.

I get you are arguing both but the Lakers side of that arguement is worthless to me and holds no water.
 
I think it might be prudent to remember that the lakers didn't draft shaq or kobe. I don't think they're tanking with a Bynum trade, just a cap dump. Isn't he on a tricky contract?

That just happened.
 
I like the thinking the enemy of my enemy is my friend. We can cut Bynum or trade him it looks like there are other teams interested. But, why not use our cap space and become a player in this chess game. Instead of sitting out our advantage. This reminds me of the parable of the talents. The master is going to take out talents core 5 from us if we sit on our *** ets.

Maybe there are better options that the Jazz are discussing. Ultimately I think the Jazz do something. Rush seems to have been written off. Trade Jefferson and Williams. for crap and play this.

Favors/Gobert
Kanter/Biedrins
Hayward/Harris
Burks/Clark
Burke/Lucas

Starters play 30 mpg and the bench 18 mpg. Jazz finish 21-61 or somewhere near that. The future (Kanter, Favors, Gobert, Hayward, Burks and Burke) all got good minutes and were able to jell and what not and Jazz get a top 3 pick.

Its so freaking obvious.
 
I think people are too paranoid with what the Lakers are doing.

The real threats to our tank is half the junky EC, the Queens, and ourselves.

It isn't easy to trade Jefferson and his salary. Got any ideas?

I think Marvin's contract is movable... I think they should move it, like, yesterday.

Lakers 1st pick
Celtics 2nd pick
Knicks 3rd pick

Unless it's luck the Knicks would never land a top 3 pick as presently constituted. The only thing making then profitable is their location. They've screwed the pooch on just about everything else and throwing them any bones would be a waste and the league could profit more by top 3 picks being sent elsewhere. Stern himself has even made comments on how the Knicks are a very poorly managed franchise.

This is a dream. Its what I've been waiting to see for a long time now. Why draft these guys if we don't play them? Makes no sense a #3 pick(which we gave up our franchise player for) gets crap for minutes after all this time.
