Why would the Jazz draft Koufos if they wanted to trade him for garbage.

Turco, calm your peeps over there....don't want you all getting excited over there in rock town. lol

Okur and Boozer can opt out at the end of this season and Millsap is a restricted free agent I believe. That's why the Jazz drafted Koufos. Not only was he (probably) the best player available when the Jazz were on the clock, but he can also be a replacement in case any of the Jazz big men leave. That's why they drafted him.
And no thanks to your offer. If we're trading Harpring and Koufos, I'm sure we can get a much better package than just expirings.
What if we came to your board and asked: What about J.J Hickson and Pavlovic for expirings? Would you think that was a fair offer?

if i am the jazz i do this but you can keep the rights to Kaun and give teh jazz a 2009 1st round pick

Explain.

^^^^^

Well we bring back former Utah sports mega legend Lance Allred. He will fill the seats of the ESA like only Kyle Korver can now.

Why did the Cavs re-sign Delonte West when they traded for Mo Williams and signed Daniel Gibson?

Your logic is stupid, your trade is stupid, therefore you're stupid.

Have a nice day.

This is one god awful trade. Makes me giggle. Our first round pick and a aging injury prone veteran hustle guy for a aging injury prone non-hustle guy who plays the same position as our best player and 2 others as well and a low 2nd round pick who just signed a huge contract in Russia and a guy whom if the Jazz wanted all they would have to do is give a unguaranteed minimum contract. Jeez, you could have at least thrown in Pavlovic and it still is awful.
