The draft happens before FA occurs. The only way a sign-and-trade could occur in that manner is for Team B to trade us the draft rights to a player they drafted. Sign and trades aren't going to be that common under the new CBA. The ONLY thing we're getting for Big Al and Paul is cap space. We will lose them for nothing. But that is better than being saddled with an equally worthless vet for another year. That was the chance KOC took in trading Devin Harris and his expiring deal for Marvin Williams. It was a good gamble, IMO, but one which the Jazz lost. In this case, it won't hurt much because Marvin comes off the books before the Jazz have to pay Kanter and Burks. They have enough money for Favors and Hayward.
Fortunately, Mo and Randy are signed to 1-yr deals. I'd rather not see either of those two return. Foye has shown he can't last an entire season and Mo is a chucker. I'm actually the most disappointed by Mo. I really thought coming to Utah would net great results.
