Who or what do you want? I assume most of you would prefer we took Knight which if we do we might be able to move down and acquire something in the process.
Let me first say that I do not want the Jazz to trade down. I like Kanter or Williams (I think there's a 90% chance Kanter's there and a 10% chance that Williams is there), and I would prefer to keep whichever one was leftover.
But I do know that there are a lot of people that want Knight, and the consensus is that we could possibly make a draft day trade with anyone from 4-6 and still get Knight. So from those teams: CLE, TOR & WAS what or who do you want? Honestly, the only players I would even consider from any of those teams are DeRozan and McGee and I think we all know that we aren't getting either of those. BTW, I checked out Cleveland's roster - THEY ARE AWFUL... YIKES, I wouldn't take one of their players.
Some people have mentioned future 1st rounders. I'd be down for that, but I think all 30 teams this year learned their lesson that you protect the hell out of your 1st rounders, so there would be a good chance that whatever future 1st we got would be protected or we possibly would not be able to cash in on it for a while.
Other people have brought up getting Washington's 18 & 34 to move down to 6. I don't like this one either as it would mean that 6 of our players (one half of our roster) would have a total of 2 NBA seasons under their belt. I like the youth movement, but this would seem more like a youth revolution. Although on the plus side we would most likely get a top 3 pick again next year.
Anyways, just wanted to see if someone could sell me on trading down. Let's hear it.
