Utah Denied A Wet Bandit Trade???!!

[enchilada_style]

I don't see this mattering one way or the other. As long as Favors stays out of the lineup all will be fine. If last game was a sign of things to come the tank is in good shape.

Jesus, Maybe You dont know how this process works. Lottery balls??? NO ONE IS GUARANTEED A POSITION DA LOTTERY!

The amount of lottery balls you have (aka chance of getting in top 3) is determined via your team's standings. ... Duh!

He's a game-time-decision tonight. Take off the rose-colored glasses.

Sometimes I feel smart for being the smartest person on jazzfanz, but then I realize that I am dumb by default for being on jazzfanz.

I didn't say win. We're talking top 3. Anyways, historically, the teams with the worst record get into the top 3.

Too lazy to find out if this is true, but I believe you might be surprised. Anyways understand the chances go up, but point is we are not getting in the top three without those balls falling in our favor with or without Marvin.

Actually, that is what I said minus the Marvin. You said you are still crossing your fingers for Jabari.

Miracles can happen... so I'll cross my fingers too.

We want the most lottery balls possible.

This is the last time I will explain this to any of you.

It i not some mythical process, it is a math equation.

Basically Chad Ford says in his tank ranking insider piece on ESPN that the Jazz declined to trade Williams despite offers of late 1st rounders in 2014.

From the linked article:

"The Jazz rebuffed “one or two” trade proposals before the deadline that would have netted them a late first-round pick in return for Marvin Williams, as Chad Ford of ESPN.com writes in his latest Insider-only “Tank Rank” piece. There were apparently other intriguing offers on the table as well, but Utah chose to hang on to the ninth-year veteran in hopes of re-signing him this summer, Ford writes"

I'd really be interested to know what those exact offers were. Why did DL not pull the trigger?

They and I like what Marvin is bringing to this team. A late 1st is not a fair offer for him unless they have no chance to re-sign him. I think they will make an effort to bring him back.
