Warriors and Jazz Mega Trade

I'd prefer Rush is dealt at the deadline. Three point marksmen tend to have a lot of value for contending teams at the deadline. He is unrestricted at years end, and will command 6+ million a year if he stays healthy, about the same that Korver just got.

Korver was a little overpaid. I guess there's that potential for Rush. Or the Jazz could just keep a really nice player. I don't know. But options are great.

For what it is worth, I think I have found a bit more detail regarding whatthe second round picks are going to be. I was reading a Warriors board to see what they though of all that was going on and came across this listing of second round picks destined to various teams over the next 5 years.

So we could be getting second rounders from ATL or Philly which GSW has acquired in earlier trades, (hopefully 2014 from Philly) or GSW picks in 2016, 2017, and 2018. We do know the latest one is 2018 but not from who.

If it is true that is good info. I wonder if the poor GSW fans have realized that all the maneuvering made their team worse and the Jazz just robbed them of all their future assetts? I don't like their coach Tank Jackson, and I cheer against the team for selfish reasons but I feel bad for their fanbase. The have endured a lot.

It was fun cheering against them the past couple of seasons, Now we get to do it again. And what the heck...we have 2nd rounders between 2014 and 2017. Let's just make cheering against them our annual activity!
 
I like Rush - he's an upgrade over Foye. Richard Jefferson is the dead-weight, but hopefully he can play better than last year and score some points. Hoping we can get Biedrins to play better - he had a few decent years where he contributed. This trade is obviously for the future, but I think these guys can help us, though we're obviously rebuilding.

The good part is, we don't need them to.

I just remembered this article: https://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7714701/how-annoy-fan-base-60-easy-steps

This basically guarantees us that we will draft a star with their pick

I'd forgotten about that article, it was one of my favorite Grantland pieces. It is probably why I have empathy for their fans. And why I have hope in 2014 & 2017. Can't wait for the details of the trade to come out tomorrow.

Speaking of which, I have a hope that the Jazz announce atleast one more deal tomorrow--maybe a sign and trade with any of thier players, or moving Biedrens or Richard Jefferson. Lindsey has been so full of suprises-- I expect something shocking.

I think we need Rush to some degree - without Millsap, GH will play a lot of SF (not sure if Richard Jefferson will get much time). And with no Foye, we don't have a SG (Burks hasn't proven he's a starting SG). I bet Rush will be our starting SG unless we sign someone. Biedrins and Jefferson don't need to play well, but if they do, I won't complain. And if any of our bigs get injured, I see Biedrins getting some playing time.
 
That article was priceless. If the Jazz had gone young and rebuilding (instead of using the vets to maintain the status quo, barely make the playoffs and get swept) immediately after trading Deron Williams and having Sloan resign. . . there's a good chance that Utah has two lottery picks in 2012. That would have been an epic letdown for Golden State, trying to tank to save the pick and still failing. Imagine this team with Lindey having two great picks in a good draft and with Millsap and Jefferson as disgruntled assets to work with. I'm holding out hope that the Golden State failures reach an epic conclusion with a few key injuries, a shocking lottery result and the Jazz having two top 5 picks in what looks like the strongest draft since 2003. All because they wanted to dump previous mistakes made with Biedrins and Jefferson so they could sign Iggy right before he starts to slow down.

That would be an epic addition to the article. Here's hoping...!
