"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

[Blueintheface]

If the Nets pick ends up being top 10 which it will be, and Utahs pick will probably be 15-20 this year. Then next year the Warriors pick will most likely be top 15, and the Jazz own pick potentially in the lottery. They could build a nice young core.

This year "what if":

Nets pick: Kyrie Irving
Jazz pick: Jordan Hamilton
Warriors pick: John Jenkins (Gets you a solid shooter and slasher at the 2 guard)
Jazz Pick: Kris Joseph

Pair those 4 with Favors, Millsap, Gordon, Jefferson, etc. and in a few years you may end up with a nice young core.

I just wish the Jazz had a front office and a coach like the Spurs. Sadly the Jazz are starting over in ever facet at this point. AK's departure will signal the end to the Mayan calendar.

Jazz only get to keep their own pick this year if it is in the Top 17, and next year's pick will then be dealt (not sure about protection next year).

And the Warriors pick only comes next year if it is outside the top 11.

Nets pick: Terrence Jones
Jazz pick: Jimmer Fredette
Warriors pick: Adonis Thomas

So what happens with Jefferson and Sap? I think one of they have to move one of them now, but who's it going to be?

Jefferson is probably the better pairing with Favors, if you ask me. Sap + Favors is again just too small - Favors + Jefferson is not ideal size, but it's better, and I think favors could be a very quality defender at some point.

I do know that I feel bad for Al right now. Kid came to Utah to play for a winner, for a HOF coach, and with the best PG in the NBA. Instead he ended up in the biggest shit storm the franchise has seen in, oh, ever.

Millsap gets traded, right? It seems like the only logical step at this point. He's probably got the most value left on the team, they need perimeter help in a bad way, and his manageable contract makes it easier to work a deal for a young perimeter player still on a rookie contract.

With Tomic still in the wings, I think the team has to move Millsap to balance out the roster and to make sure Favors gets time.

Wrong. Okur will be our remaining link to greatness.

I'm pretty sure next year is only top 7 protected from what I've read. At least that is what I thought...

Next year meaning the Warriors pick or the Jazz own pick?

I was just thinking about Tomic as well. Wonder how this affects the Jazz time table with him? My guess is they now wait until his deal with Real is done instead of trying to bring him over for next season.

Warriors pick. Are you talking Jazz pick?

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

No, Warriors pick. The only place I looked was NBADraft.net outstanding trades table, and it said Top 11 next year, then Top 10, then two 2nd round picks in 2013 and 2015.

That is my guess. I just hope it's not for a "veteran" two with no legs left. What about a trade for Wesley Johnson and Luke Ridnour for Milsap. Wesley's struggled a bit his rookie season only shooting 41% and 35% from 3 but he is long and athletic. And the Jazz would get a white guy they so desperately covet.

Ford and Locke both said top 7 protected.

And it is still far better than playing around Kahn.

Nothing tops playing around Kahn. He is the best GM in the league.

If Love and Jefferson didn't work Love and Sap won't be any better.

I know one Lakers fan on this site that fits the description!
