OT: Utah Jazz Trade
Might be of interest for new Jazz fans:
Basically took on a bunch of short term bloated contracts, which should give them a bit more depth next year, and in reward get the Warriors 2014 and 2017 1st round draft picks. While next year's draft should be loaded, the Warriors should be one of the top teams in the west with the acquisition of Iguodala. Still, Jazz could perhaps trade up again with two 1st round picks. Seems like they are still thinking in terms of building rather the near term success.
Golden State is probably a major injury away from a lottery spot, especially seeing that Howard isn't signing there. This could end up being a major boon for the Jazz.
Speaking of the Jazz, they should have relinquished that name to New Orleans when a franchise returned there.
Or when they moved to Utah.
is not the first thing that springs to mind. . .
I would start new thread but I'm a lakers fan. Fuck him
As long as Burke is still there, I will continue to be a quasi-fan
I tend to agree, but if we start seeing a lot of threads about the Utah Jazz's offseason moves, I may have to actually go outside or spend time with my kids and not reading message boards.
Hope Utah uses that new 1st round pick on McGary. Burke/McGary could be the new Stockton/Malone.
Last I heard McGary hadn't knocked up any middle school girls...

but it's good that the Jazz are looking to build for the future with Trey..
If the Jazz suck enough this season, they could get Wiggins... and then boom goes the dynamite.
In monetary terms, that's a pretty interesting deal - the Warriors managed to rid themselves of about $24 million in contracts and they get a non-guaranteed contract worth about $800,000 or so, if memory serves. That is the epitome of clearing space, and indeed, they did so - according to some reports - get Andre Iguodala from Denver.
