Koufos / #9 for Thabeet

[Jazz4ever]

The big problem with Thabeet, like Beasley, is he was picked 2nd and makes a rather hefty amount over his rookie contract. 4.8 million next year..all the way up to 8.4 for his qualifying offer year. So basically Memphis is going to be paying him to develop in D league and by the time he can actually contribute they will having to worry about matching a restricted free agency offer from another team. Koufas, at least, is a cheap bust. You don't want Thabeet.

I'd say no to this trade. Jazz may get a total surprise at #9 better that Thabeet and still keep Koufos.

If it was Fes and Koufos for Thabeet I would do it, but no way the number 9 pick. There is a still the possibility to move up in the draft too, but we need to keep the 9th pick in order for that to happen.

Never.
