Would you do this draft day trade?

[margodydek]

I don't think I'd do it. You're hoping for a lot of things to happen if you do the trade. There's talk that the new CBA could change the age requirement for declaring, plus who knows if the stud freshman, or even the sophmores, will declare next year. Could be an epic draft, but could also be as weak as this one.

Not inconceivable, but no way we get an unconditional first. I think the best KOC could do would be Top 3 protected. But if KOC loves Biyombo (or just the range of guys at 6), it does make sense to at least try squeezing Washington who supposedly loves Kanter. Wizards also have the 18 and an early second. A highly protected first plus one of those draft picks could also work if KOC really likes anybody in the back end of the draft.

What's everybody hearing about the CBA as it relates to WHEN the new age limit would take effect, if it's changed? I heard it was unlikely to impact next years crop, but would the year after ... but it's been a while and I don't recall the source.

 

[Chad Feldheimer]

Interesting idea.

However how do you sell that to the fans and more importantly season ticket holders? "We know we are going to suck next year anyway so we are loading up for next years draft but come out and support us anyway?"

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yep, tough call. However, I think KOC has to do what he thinks is best for the team and the fans will find a way to support .. they always do.

Are the Wiz a lottery team next year?

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'd bet on it ... which is the point I think.

 

[Jeffrey32]

I would do Utah's 3 & 12 for Minnesota's 2 & 20 or Cleveland's 1 & 32.

 

[Jeffrey32]

In this deal with Washington, Utah is giving up to much. I would do Utah's #3 for Washington's #6 and a top 2 protected 1st rounder in '12.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I'd so the #1 and #32 before the #2 and #20 ... just because Irving <<< Kanter <<< Williams (JUST my opinion, folks)

 

[gomretat]

Only if we pick Jimmer at 6.

The Jazz are trying to move up the first spot so they can ensure they get James. By the way, definitely a yes on the trade with the Wiz but I don't think there is that much patience right now in the FO.

 

[Justys]

I would much rather have Utah keep both picks and let the team continue to grow this next year. If there is a year lock out then Yes
