I could see us getting some assets back. Viewing the trade as a salary dump, with the potential of getting a player who might turn his season around.

Disagree. Not when you think about the potential that could still be there and also the fact that you may be able to get more than just Lawson for taking the salary from Houston.

Late first are virtually worthless. If your the Jazz why do you take somebody else's problems without getting compensated for the risk?
Yes, but HOU pick isn't a late-first.

It wouldn't necessarily just be Trey Burke. It would be for Burke and getting rid of a Lawson's contract
I wonder if the deal does go down if Lawson pulls a Rony Seikaly / Derek Harper.
To backup Exum next season? You want to waste $13 million for a backup pg? Better to use those money to buy other players next season.
Draft picks have become very valuable recently. HOU's pick would fall between #16-#20, I wouldn't say that is 'worthless'.

It's one season where we have to fill up the cap anyways. Unless you can list all these great players that would be better to spend our money on for one season.
Not next season. If Lawson pans out, then he can start next season, and be resigned for a cheaper contract afterwards as he'll be 30.
If he actually explodes next season, he'll become a valuable trade asset.
You're right it would be mid first #16-#20.
What do you guys make of this 38 min. ago?
