Marc Stein: Jazz-Warriors discuss pre-Lottery trade (Source says trade "likely")

[Thee Jazz Fan]

How upset will everyone be if we make a deal for 30, and 35, and next years GS pick unprotected, then find out that GS ends up getting the 8th pick this year?

Not upset at all .. the risk you take.

No inside info on this. I've made a couple calls and no one that I know knows anything.

Not at all. I don't expect Bogut and Curry to be healthy enough to lead the W's to the playoffs next season.

No protection on that pick next season would be huge. That would mean a chance at Shabazz or Noel. Plus, if we can snag 30 and 35 from them, I think we could package those picks in other trades. Please let this happen.

No protection would be huge eh? We are talking about a 1-2% of moving up if the Warriors finish late lottery. And with so many terrible eastern teams, they will.

So what you're saying is Jazz trade the 8th pick
for
the 30 + 35 + removal of the protection for our GS pick in '13?

Do I understand this correctly?

'cause that sounds pretty sweet to me.

This is Locke's idea, not mine: If they Jazz have the protections taken off for next year and *only* get cash, the cash can be used to buy any pick between 15-25 - which is better than the 30 or 35 that is being discussed...

Good luck with that working.

35, they take bell, and remove the protection next year. Otherwise no.

I like it. No idea whether they do. Us negotiating too strongly, then losing the odds is pretty dumb .. so we can't push too damn hard.

 

[Fishsticks]

Excellent question. If Curry and Bogut stay healthy they could be a 4 or 5 seed, imo. But they won't stay healthy and I think, depending upon how unhealthy they are, they'll wind up in the 12 - 15 range.

One name you forgot to mention: Mark Jackson

He sucks hard and the west is still very deep. I think even if healthy the best they get wil be 12 or 13

Hmmmm, maybe .. but that team, healthy, is a nice roster.

I'm sure GSW just wants to remove a few spots worth of protection on the 2013 pick, but that would be a low-ball offer. To be honest, if I'm the Jazz, I'm content to pass on GSW's deal and just let the ping pong balls bounce as they may. I'd rather take a 1 in 3 chance at Barnes, PJIII or Lilllard. Besides, the Jazz need to do another deal for a mid-first pick anyway. We don't need that many rookies.
