Seems like it's a lock 6th and 12th pick in the draft

I'm really falling in love with Kemba Walker.

I hope Kentucky ends up beating North Carolina so I can see Knight and Walker go head to head in the final four.

Sacramento has won 4 in a row

they are 21-52, NJ 23-52... who knows, maybe they are on time to finish better than nets.

I think Sacramento is on track to finally break through next year. And by that, I just mean that they'll be competing for one of the last playoff spots. But that's more than they've had to look forward to in a good while. I just hope the fans up there get to see their patience pay off, instead of having the team ripped away from them.

I think they're on track for more disappointment. Tyreke Evans and Counsins seem incapable of co-existing.

We'll see. Cousins is never going to get along with another human being as long as he lives. But I think he can be "managed."

BUMP

Good predictions by the OP. I guess we might tie for the 5th seed.

Sacramento and NJ are tied right now. The Kings play OKC and LAL (both are racing for seeding). The Nets play Charlotte and Chicago (and the Bobcats aren't fighting for playoff position). How does the tie breaker work if they both lose their last two games?

Phoenix, Utah, and GS are 11-13. We might get the 11 or fall to 13, but 12 looks more likely to me.

I could see the Lakers limiting minutes or resting some players in the final game. Also the Lakers play at Sacramento on the back end of back to backs, with an emotional game on Tuesday. I could even see them resting some guys too depending on the standings situation. Nets do have an easy game tonight, but the Bulls are gonna be tough as hell for them, and the Bull will likely play all their players if they have a shot at the best record in the league.

[UTJazzFan_Echo1]

What we need is for the Lakers to beat the Spurs tonight so the Bulls have something to play for against the Nets. As long as the Nets lose out we have a guaranteed shot at the 5th pick and if the Wizards can beat the Cavs then we have a legit shot at the 4th.

6th or better is guaranteed heading into the lottery...actually turned out better than I expected once the Nets went on that winning streak after the trade.

Question from a Raps fan here.

Since you guys do have Devin Harris as your PG now and the sixth pick in the draft. What would be the asking price for either of those 2 assets from Toronto. (Leaving out DeRozan, Davis and our draft pick)

The way im looking at it. the Sixth pick would probably land you Brandon Knight (Which would be redundant with Harris around) so you wouldnt need both of those guards.

Would Bayless + Bargnani + TPE for your Nets pick and your worst Contract(s) (Kirileinko maybe) work?
Bargnani and Bayless make a combined salary of about 13 Million Plus the TPE would add up to Kirileinko's contract.

Edit: If the above trade is a no go, give me the asking price for either the Nets pick or Devin Harris. (Barring DeRozan, Davis and our Pick)

Kirilenko is actually off the books this summer. Memo expires after next year, so unless we need to shed him for peanuts to hold off the luxury tax, we don't really have any bad contracts to dump.

Sadly, we may not be the best trade partners. DeRozan, Davis, and your pick would be the only assets that actually interest us, in my opinion. Bayless isn't a great fit for the Jazz style of play, and we're pretty well loaded up front without Bargnani.

[StocktonShorts]

You can't add TPEs to player salaries to make trade salary numbers work, at least in the current CBA.

Discussing these sorts of trades is kind of a moot point since there's going to be a new CBA before any deals like this can be done. And that new CBA could be drastically different. For example, if there's a harder cap then some of the salary restrictions on trades may ease up quite a bit.

But as to the spirit of the question, I'm not seeing a deal that makes sense for the Jazz.
