For those who want to trade down

[BENTLEY]

To what? I'd only consider 1.

I think there's some confusion. What I mean is in order for the Jazz trade down from 3rd this year to say 6th this year (Valanciunas or Biyombo) they'd have to receive a 1st round pick in the 2012 draft. If that 2012 pick is protected then I'd still be ok with it because I would hope that that pick + the protected GS pick + the jazz' own 2012 pick (if they don't have to forfeit it to Minny) could be packaged in order to move up in the 2012 draft.


I'm not saying to move up in their year's draft.

Sorry, Bentley, I just butchered it through poor reading comprehension. I thought you were saying you wanted to move 'up' in the draft this year .. to like #1 or 2.

I wouldn't want to trade down. But I would trade out in a heartbeat with a decent offer. Neither Knight or Kanter excite me all that much.

I'm actually more intrigued by the prospects at 12 (Burks, Singleton, Jimmer, Hamilton).

All depends on the protection of course. There would still be a chance we get NO picks next year. If we trade with Washington and receive their pick, for me it would have to be a top 3 protection at most. Moving up 3 spots in this draft wouldn't get us that much, IMO. More likely, they would want to put a top 7 or 8 protection on it, in which case we likely wouldn't receive the pick next year.

I would trade out in a heartbeat as well if it's to one of the bottom 5 teams for their unprotected 2012 pick.
