Utah Denied A Wet Bandit Trade???!!

[UGLI baby]

If true, it's ****ing retarded; any 1st round pick for Marvin is a good haul. Even if he were traded, the Jazz could sign him as a free agent this summer. Not sure I'm buying this story.

That's the only reason I'm not freaking out. Really hard to believe this could actually be true.

This tells me they want to make a playoff push. Put that with the whole "skipping steps" speech, this means that the Jazz want the #4 pick on lottery night and that means I bet Favors hardly plays the rest of the year, and Kanter, Hayward and Burks lead us to...2, maybe 3 wins to finish the season.

Hallelujah.

I'm with UGLI here. You see a whole bunch of stuff that isn't there...

The Jazz turned down a late first rounder?!!!??

A late first rounder is the most seeked out asset in the NBA, they are invaluable, all the best NBA talent comes from the late 1st round.......

/facepalm

You have to pay 1st rounders guaranteed money. Perhaps in their plans they have cap space allocated for so much dough and another guaranteed rookie contract would foil that. Perhaps they are either going to try and resign him or let him walk.

Late first rounders wouldn't affect the cap space much, in fact barely more than a 2+ year veteran. A two year vet costs the team $915K next year, while picks 25-30 will be in the $1M to $1.2M range for the first season.

I'm a little surprised that they would pass up Marvin for a first, but then again, maybe not.
* He said he wants to be in Utah
* He's far more talented than anyone they will get #25-#30 (although he will also cost more)
* He may hurt the tank but there are other ways around that (How are you feeling, Marvin? Any nagging injuries?)

No team in the playoffs that has a late first round pick can absorb Marvin's contract. The Jazz would have had to taken someone back. Probably a bad contract. Don't be too pissed if DL did turn this deal down.

This is why I want to see exactly what the proposed trade was. What Utah sent out and what we got back.

I'm guessing the picks came with bad multi-year contracts that would affect our cap situation and ability to offer Kanter, Hayward and Burks deals this offseason.

If long term bad contracts where in the deal then I agree that I would not want that.

Also at this point how many more draft picks and young players do we need? We already have two first round picks in this years draft.

To play devil's advocate, another late first round pick coupled with GSW pick (borderline lottery looking) might get you into late lottery, which could be Doug Mcdermott.

If we re-sign Williams it's not a big deal; if we don't re-sign him this is a blunder.
