I wouldn't devalue the trust they inspired in me by calling it "faith". :p

The FO has made a string of great decisions that can only be interpreted as the result of long-term vision and thorough planning and reflection. They earned my trust with their actions the same way Corbin earned my distrust with his mismanagement.

That was beautiful.
 
Besides getting the 2nd round pick this also shows that the Jazz FO aren't Douches...

This can go along way when we need to move contracts or need a third team to get involved!!

It's a good Faith gesture!!!

I find your your naiveté very refreshing.
 
Isn't this a no brainer? We can get a free second round pick for letting randy foye go jack up shots on another team? Why is anyone bitching about us "helping" anyone? We are taking something from one team for free, a d giving another team a player who would take time from one of our young guys.

Denver already has more wings than KFC: Fornier, Brewer, Hamilton, Quincy Miller, Chandler, Galinari....plus their combo guard Erick Green. Now Foye. Why don't they send one of those back to us. They can't carry all those guys.

I could see the Jazz doing this as a favor to Randy Foye. They had apparently talked about signing him for 3 years when they recruited him last year.

Nice line.

Obviously the Jazz are trying to accumulate all of GS' picks through the next millenium.
These 2nd rounders could be valuable in doing future deals. Always have to throw in something and we'll soon run out of cheap players we don't want to retain.

Seriously, though...it's a classy move by the Jazz to help Foye find a new team. He was only here one season, but they're doing him a solid. This is what great FO's do to build relationships with agents and other GM's and gain a reputation around the league as a top organization.

Because it would give a team that owes us an unprotected first rounder and has practically no depth $6 million+ to fill out their roster and improve their fail-safe options. Right now, the Warriors hopes live and die on the ankles of a PG that has seriously sprained his several times and had surgery several times and right now they don't have a backup PG. Their only center is Bogut who's rate of injury only seems to be increasing, and their only healthy big off the bench is Draymond Green (and that's provided that avid Lee is back in time from his injury). Iguodala also already has bad knees, is basically 30, and his game is predicated on his athleticism. There's real potential that the Warriors miss the playoffs. The key is depth, and even if everyone miraculously stays 100% for 82 games, that depth is still probably the difference of a few games.

This would also affect the value of the already-existing 2nd rounders that the Jazz are owed. I'm not even sure that one extra late 2nd rounder is worth it to make another 2nd rounder they owe us worse.
 
Karl Malone was brought in, in part, to play 2 minutes against the Warriors and place his foot under the foot of Curry. Book it.

KOC always talked about helping other GMs so when it's the Jazz's turn to come knocking the door swings open!!

ala Kyle Kover Trade with Phili!

Or the Boozer to Chicago sign and Trade that we then flipped for Al Jefferson.

Chicago certainly did not have to help us in that situation. I seem to remember reading an article about KOC and their GM having a history too.
 
Here's something that just came to mind: Maybe part of the mega-pick/salary dump negotiations was GS getting confirmation that the Jazz would play ball in helping GS get Iguodala in a S/T. Seems very possible, especially since the details on the 2nd rounders have been murky and that I've heard that it is two 2nd rounders and also heard that it was THREE second rounders. Maybe this is the key to the murkiness.

But the Bulls still got something and we didn't owe them an unprotected 1st rounder. But I can see the mentality.
