Great trade for jazz at 12?

The rumors are there that new York badly wants to move up in the draft, and dx basically had this response to a tweeter asking if the Knicks had the assets:

#17 and Landry fields to get into the early teens.

If this is a legit rumor, I'd be on it like stink on a monkey, this is everything the jazz need. Again, I'd throw in bell too if they wanted.

Use the 17 to take a flyer on a pg, or just see who falls.

Harris/Watson
Hayward/bell
Fields/miles
Favors/millsap
Jefferson/kanter and the 17.

Hell, I'd do that with out the pick probably.

Wow, I'd be all over that. These George Hill/Landry Fields rumors are baffling me.

Fields really cooled off after teams found out about him. I'm not sure he is as good as he looked. But, this is definitely a trade worth looking into.

This was some writer at DX saying that the Knicks assets were #17 and Landry Fields, not the Knicks saying they were willing to trade #17 and Landry Fields.

I understand, but he said that was a potential package to move up, I hope they are that desperate.

He definitely colled off, but if he is your 7tth best player behind hayward, Harris, Jefferson, millsap, favors, #3, I think you are in good shape.

I like Fields alot but so do the Knicks. My understanding is they refuse to trade Fields for even a high pick so not going to happen.

#17 and Fields may not be enough for #12 depending on whos still there for each pick. Its a good chance that your trading 2 role players who are likely to come off the bench for us in exchange for a potentially solid starter. If were sitting there at #12 with someone like Hamilton, Jonas or Biyombo still on the board, it wouldn't want to risk them being taking before the #17 pick.
