Haul for D-Will vs Haul for CP3

[SojoDave]

Maybe if the Jazz were owned by the league we could have received even more from the Nets.

 

[Sneakers]

Is it Minny's unprotected 1st or their own?

Also, I'm more curious what Chauncey thinks about this.

Minny's unprotected first.

 

[Agoxlea]

There's no way you could know the league would squeeze the Min. pick and Gordon out of them. If we weren't living the the twilight zone this week I'd take the Jazz package.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

They are both good packages.

The best "piece" that's a player is Gordon, and the best "pick" could be Minnesota's first.

Best potential probably is Favors, and the Jazz got lucky with the pick and got it at #3.

Solid all around.

I'm thinking NOR may have a worse record this year than Minny. They lost David West and Chris Paul. They may well be in the lottery.

This trade sucks for Clips unless CP signs extension. And even with extension this trade is meh.

I think it's a good move for the Clips. It moves them up a level as a team, and it gives them a chance to win over Chris Paul who won't have that many compelling options next summer. They have a good shot at getting in the playoffs and making the 2nd round, followed by a run in free agency. It's historic for them to get a major player in a trade.

NBA wants to have a team that has a potentially bright and positive future to sell, and not an ominous, doomsday team the Hornets were currently in.

I wonder if they will start Okafor and Kaman side by side.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't think highly of Aminu, but Gordon is definitely a Mitch Richmond type player. Can easily see him as the best player on a middling team, or second best on a great team.

Yeah, but how many more years does he have on his rookie deal?

 

[mct]

I think it comes down to whether you'd rather have Gordon or Favors. Nets' #3 pick is pretty comparable to Minny's unprotected pick. Harris and Kaman are both decent. And we'll probably get someone about Aminu's value with the Golden State pick.

Right now I'd rather have Favors because the hope of superstar big man is still there.

 

[Darkwing Duck]

Yeah, but how many more years does he have on his rookie deal?

I believe this is his last year. Gordon will be an RFA next off season. He's guaranteed two years there. Likely more.

 

[Wham!]

both are pretty good hauls.

harris and kaman essentially cancel each other out talent-wise. KOC may say otherwise, but many view harris as a toss-in to the deal. same with kaman

aminu could turn out to be pretty solid, but is he a better piece than Kanter? good big men are usually more valuable.

gordon is a great player and one i would love for the jazz, but Favors has the potential to be even better.

then it comes down to Twolve pick v. GSW pick. those could end up being pretty close to each other by the end of the year.

i think both trades are pretty darn good. If the Jazz get to cash in on the GSW pick and get someone like MKG or Quincy Miller, I think I like the trade for the Jazz better.

I'm pretty sure I remember an article that stated CP agreed with the Clips to extend.
It was part of the deal, at least a prior iteration of it, otherwise the Clips would not have pulled the trigger.
