Warriors and Jazz Mega Trade

[Bawse Dawg]

Yeah it will be harder to move up next year, that's true, but its still an extra pick in what's supposed to be a loaded draft.

I just feel like if they were desperate for a big free agent we could have whipped out the lube and took advantage of the situation. Not the other way around.
With the position that both teams were in, we should not have to try and find a bright side. We should be saying "wow, they really wanted Iggy. Lucky for us we had so much cap space to take advantage of their desperation." That's how these deals usually go down....

I think how good this trade was will be defined by:

1. What it does to our draft pick
2. How we use the acquired draft picks in other trades
3. How we use the expiring contracts in other trades

Biedrins isn't jazz material. Lazy. No way he starts.

Thank the Heavens.

Does GSW own anybody else's draft picks in the next few years?

Yup. Trade that'll take a long time to judge.

This is Corbin we are talking about.

Brandon Rush is better than any wing we could of signed in free agency right now.
Good 3 point shooter and defender. Will play very well next to Hayward.
Jefferson can be a serviceable back up at the SF position. He still can hit the 3 and be decent at defense. 15 minutes a night and be a mentor.
Bedrins sucks but who cares
Free draft picks is what we just got. I wanted Barnes too but we had competition with other teams.

no, i think they have even traded some of their future second rounders

Jazz will have to renounce all cap holds to do this deal. Thus Millsap will definitely not be back.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

The Jazz are running a quiet tank. They just eviscerated their bench production.

And by the way, I don't know if anyone saw this post:

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 44m
Golden State drops out of the Dwight Howard chase, clearing the way for long-standing frontrunner Houston to close with the free agent star.

So GS won't be getting Howard. I don't see Iggy making them that much better....

We'll do what Portland did last year.

Burke/McNeal/Tinsley
Burks/Rush/Hayward
Hayward/Carroll/Jefferson
Favors/Evans/Jefferson
Kanter/Gobert/Biedrins

One of the worst second units of all time. That plus GS pick will allow us to move up.

Rush is actually a pretty nice player so overall I'm okay with this after thinking about it a bit.

Early in the year we'll play above expectations but as the year goes on you'll notice we drop EVERY close game because the bench plays late minutes.
