Jazz Trading JLIII, Murphy for Carrick Felix

[Doublea]

This move tells me we're bound for the lottery again for 1 more year.



Seems like the FO doesn't think Exum is enough star power - seems like we think we need '1 more guy'.

Why? are you saying we'd be better if we had kept Lucas, Murphy, and Thomas?

Do we really need another 2nd rounder though? How many have we got now?!?!



I wonder what this move was really about.... could it be the $1m that would pay for all the camps they're running?

We got a 2nd round pick for JLIII. Do you always look a gift horse in the mouth?

Sounds like a smart move to me; getting a player at a position of need our FO was interested in last season for 3 players who weren't gonna see our roster this year anyway. And getting paid to do it too...

A whole $1?

Thats what I was thinking... $1 is a hell of a deal for JL3

With all those 2nd round picks, it looks like Jazz are trying to pimp Idaho Stampede, so that they will be the first team from NBDL ever, to be offered a contract in NBA.

Because every once in a while they turn into someone like Millsap.

or Okur...
or Boozer...

Felix seems cool and this is the kind of shrewd moves I wanted to see. We basically get a free prospect plus a second for our cap fodder. Locke had some nice quotes about Felix... I know we aren't building a Boy Scout troop but all these guys seem to be hard workers and high character.

This young leadership is much more preferable to me than having the veteran leaders. Solid summer DL... Can we start the season now.

I do if it has a bunch of these inside it

Felix is the athletic 3 and D type of player…if he can get his shot a little better.

Really athletic, ok shot, not much of a dribbler, and a pretty decent defender. Hustles. He's raw, but older, which really limits his potential. I thought he was a reach when the Cavs took him, but he could be a pretty decent rotation player.

Wasn't there an article written about how much harder it is nowadays to find those diamonds in the rough, because of the internet, more and better scouting as well as increased in investment?

LOL .. 10?? are they really worth that much anyway? What's the point of grabbing 10 scrubs???

We are going to continue to trade them back until we fulfill my dream of owning ALL of the second round picks in a draft. We are a third of the way there. It will be cool when the second round hits and Nate Silver will have to give the mike over to DL who will take over the next round of the draft. Run it like an auction. It will be EPIC!
