2011 draft.....

[Gyp Rosetti]

It actually does the opposite. Since you don't where your team is going to pick you can't really get that excited about anyone.

This thread must've gotten to 148 pages because we're all bored then.

In all the years I have followed basketball and the draft, this is the biggest gap between the top of the board and the rest. The worst pick in this draft is going to be #3, and I expect the Jazz to get it.

Would you trade the #3, our other pick (let's say it's ours and is #12), and our GS pick next year to move up one spot and get the #2 pick? Would the team slotted #2 do it as described? If said team threw in their (very high) 2nd rounder this year too?

I wouldn't do it.

I would not include the GS pick, simply because next year's darft will probably be strong and the Jazz might not have a pick, but I would offer the 3 and 12 for the 2. I doubt the other team bites, though. The #3 this year will be a guy who a month ago might have been #8 or #9, but now he's going to get paid as a #3, unless the CBA changes.

Yeah, I highly doubt a team would bite without something additional so I threw in the GS pick as well as the high 2nd back in return to us.

How about #3, #12, and our own 2013 1st rounder?

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

I only ask because if we're sitting at #3, we need to do what we need to do to move up one spot and get Williams or Irving. You win with studs/all-stars in this league, not the Enes Kanter's of the world.

And yes, I've made it up in my mind that he'll be a major bust, not due due to injuries, but because he looks slow and despite being 6'11", plays below the rim. Love may be successful but he's the exception, not the rule.

 

[BENTLEY]

Maybe trade #3 for a 2012 pick.

I'd do it for the team's 2nd rounder this year AND their 1st next year.

Minny, Cleveland, Washington, Charlotte, Cleveland, Detroit and Sacramento are probably the only teams I would listen to, that is, if they even have their 1sts next year.

 

[Gyp Rosetti]

With that 2nd rounder, we could get SF Chandler Parson (I have a major mancrush on his game) early in the 2nd round.

Good points!

I'm still not feeling it. Id take Knight. And what if Phx called and asked for Millsap again. Offering Pietrus, Lopez, and there pick. Would you guys take it? I think, id take it.
