How can the Jazz trade a free agent?

would you give golden state their pick back and rush for Harrison Barnes?

Two Words: Nik Stauskas. GSW pick cold = Stauskas.

Harrison Barnes is just 21 years old. You guys are going to write him off already?

Haven't you written off Kanter?

That's different, Kanter sucks...

That makes total sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Barnes is shooting 27% the last 10 games! yikes...... To be honest I think the Iggy acquisition really hurt is confidence.

Harrison Barnes problem is his coach. If he was used correctly and worked on his outside shooting he would be awesome.





Did I say Harrison Barnes? Did I mean Kanter?

Problems I see are:
-not over athletic -> hurts his post play that he's tried out earlier this season
-not really fast -> can't slash when not coming off a screen for extra seperation against SFs
This point also hurts his defense...

Chances:
-capable 3 point shooter -> can be a catch and shoot threat
-engaged defender -> can be average

How can you say Barnes can't? Jackson apparently has cuts his minutes in favor of Iguodala and Thompson, and one could debate the wisdom of that decision -- and this has affected his play, as well.

Let's not forget that Barnes averaged 16.1 points and 6.4 rebounds in 12 playoff games last year!

Sure the acquisition of Iguodala has something to do with his negative season.

IINM, Barnes has played much better when he's started than coming off the bench. But I do agree that the depth of this draft likely means we can pick up a player with as much promise even at #23. That player will also have a couple more years on a rookie deal. I also anticipate the Jazz trying to move up by offering the #23 and the #34 (or wherever those picks eventually fall) to get a pick in the late teens if they see a player they really like. Alternately, if they drop back a couple of spots after the lottery, maybe they can move back to #4/#5 by offering the #23 pick...again, if they have a specific player targeted and fear the team ahead of them will select him.

What sweet karma it would be if the Jazz end up with a better player than Barnes with the gs pick this year!
