Small trade idea

Larry Sanders, Quincy Pondexter, Hassan Whiteside (who at 25 is a hell of a prospect), and James Anderson will definitely available at 25 and there's no guarantee the would be at the beginning of the 2nd.
 
I don't think the #25 pick is value enough to drop three spots in the lottery. I guess I wouldn't be horribly against it if the Jazz get their man (Udoh :p ) and then whomever at 25.
 
Yes, yes, yes, and yes. I think my two favorite picks would still be available at 12 (whiteside, davis) and then we could get another backup wing with that pick!

The point, though, is that no one is on the same page at all as to who the Jazz should even draft at #9 and that one of the two stronger prospects are pretty much guaranteed to be available (Henry and/or Aldrich). Considering that there are bound to be some nice players still left on the board at #25, I think it's a home run (again, assuming the Jazz can't trade into the consensus top-5 talents and assuming none of them fall to 9).

That's true, but I'm not sure I'm liking the idea of having four guys you like available at #9 and then trading to #12 and saying you'll take whoever is left of the four. Make a decision! It's like having control of the board in Family Feud and passing to the other team.

i would do this trade depending on how the draft went. if they cant move up and george is still available at 12 thats a no brainer. i believe there are some late first rounders in this draft that could turn out to be good players, especially if whiteside slides that far (currently projected #23 on DE). orton, sanders, brackins, alabi, or seraphin could be available too. the grizz have the 28th pick as well so the jazz could potentially get 3 first rounders.

I would do this, at 25 one of these bigs would still be there: Whiteside, Sanders, Orton, Brackins, Alabi
 
Bad Idea. We don't need bodies. We need quality players. And trading down to get 2 rookies. Late first round draft picks usually don't pan out. So we should be either staying put at our draft position or we should be trading up.

Only way we should trade down is if a team is willing to give us a veteran player along with there pick in the teens.
