Trade for a veteran?

I've heard this mentioned a few times, that the jazz should trade some if their picks for a young, up and coming vet. But I haven't heard any names really spoken. Who would this player be? And who would we want to pick up on that could help us get back to winning ways?

The only players I can think of are:

Terrance Ross
DeMar DeRozan
Arron Afflalo

But is that who we really want to go after? I really can't think of any other players that fit this similar criteria. So who would we trade for/who do you want to trade for?

Is this a better option than siting at #5?
 
Not a better option.

Players will get up for new coach, and system, as long as it is tailored to their strength's. Get a vet in FA next offseason, if needed. Getting a vet now is "skipping steps." This draft is soo deep, that trading out is stupid. We've got to pay Hayward, Burks & Kanter soon. Don't mess up the books because you want some meaningless wins.

Players like CJ Wilcox & A. Payne will be available around 23, both of which can shoot the lights out, and played four years in college, so aren't your typical immature rookie, if that is what's scaring you.
 
What about people saying to trade the #34 and #23 for a vet? I just don't see any names that we'd really want... Keep in mind too if we traded the 5th or others we'd probably try to get back in or ask for picks back.

I would not trade the #5 for a vet but am not opposed to the idea of the other picks add players for a vet. Depending on the actual trade of course. Rather have a good quality vet then more of the Beidrins/Bell quality vets.

Yes, but what vets. People keep saying this, but naming in names.

And more importantly, at what price?

We let two great vets walk to free up cap space and get picks. Now we're going to eat up that cap space and trade one of those picks? Seems *** backwards to me. Jazz still have the Hayward, Kanter, and Burks paydays coming up, so why are they skipping steps? We're not contending next year.

If Jazz are really worried about having too many rookies on the team, they can send some of them to the Stampede, which will now be our coaches and system. Seems incredibly antsy of them to talk about getting a crap vet w/ the 23rd pick, when there are other options. 23rd and 35th will = crap vet, make no mistake. We can send rooks to Stampede & pick up some vets in FA, or see what vets & picks we could get w/ cap space again this year. We don't have our star yet, so why should we be discussing vets and exiting asset accumulation mode?

How about the jazz trade #5 for afflalo and#12? Orlando can draft the guard of their choice with#4 and the big of their choice with #5. Jazz get afflalo for their Shooting guard spot, shift hayward to 3 bring Alec burks along as off the bench scorer and get #12 to draft more shooting such as stauskas.
 
option 1 Trade up

if that fails

keep the #5

either package the #23 and #35 to move up or trade for future picks.
 
Don't like idea of trading #23 and/or #35.
Just seems like not that many players to pick from that fit Jazz needs.
I think Jazz should just stockpile young talent and then trade as necessary.
This years talent seems terrific all the way down to #35.

I like this. For me, I'd think that the team would be best off trying to make another cash dump before the draft to add another asset to work with. They won't be competing for the playoffs this year, they have plenty of cap space to match Hayward, extend both Kanter and Burks and pull off another trade like the one last offseason.

Either way, you're trading assets to move up in this draft. Wouldn't hurt to add another one as a bargaining chip if possible.

Very true, we need a lot of depth too on this team. The draft would do that, plus we could always trade the talent later on.
