Jazz benefactors of Celts/ Clips trade & Dwight Howard

[JazzFan32]

With all the trade talks occurring right now with the Celtics and Clippers, and the Free Agency Buzz surrounding Dwight Howard, I think this is a great opportunity for the Jazz to take advantage of what's going on and add pieces to the young core of Burks, Hayward, Kanter, and Favors. According to reports, both Dallas and Houston are looking to clear up cap space and are wiling to unload good assets in order to be in the run for Dwight Howard.

As it's been discussed already, Houston wants to unload Thomas Robinson and Dallas is willing to unload the 13th pick in exchange for taking on Shawn Marion's contract. Everyone know's that there is no way a top tier player player like Chris Paul or Dwight Howard will ever come to Utah, so the best way to build will be through the draft, in the same way the Thunder did. I think this years draft class is full of good rotational players, and if Dallas is willing to give the 13th pick in exchange for taking on Shawn Marion's contract( 1 year left), I think the Jazz should consider it. If the Jazz were to have the 13th, 14th, and 21st pick, these would allow the Jazz to have more flexibility.

The Jazz could potentially add three good rotational players or package all or some of these to potentially go out and get a really good piece, and that's were I think the Celtics and Clippers trade could be potentially beneficial for the Jazz as well. According to reports, The celtics want DeAndre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe, and two future first round picks. If this trade happens that would mean the Celtics will have three good players who can all play the PG position in Rajon Rondo, Eric Bledsoe, and Avery Bradley. in 2004, both Eric Bledsoe and Avery Bradley will be FA looking to get extensions, and I don't think the Celtics would be able to afford to keep all three of them.

So I think the strategy behind the Celtics wanting Eric Bledsoe is because they know there most valuable chip is Rajon Rondo. And by adding Bledsoe, I think the Celtics are going to be looking to trade Rondo to try to rebuild, in the same way the Jazz did when they Traded Deron. With the uncertainty of not knowing how Rondo will respond after his injury, i think more then ever there willing to part ways with Rondo since its probably the highest his value will be.

I personally think the Jazz would benefit the most by adding three rotational players in the draft, then attempting to go after Rondo. And the reason for this is because, as a Jazz fan i'm excited to see what a young core will do, and most importantly the experience they will gain from finally getting good quality minutes night after night. Not to mention that if they loose most of their games next year, they will be in a great position to get a good player, or potentially a franchise player in Wiggins or Parker in a stacked draft class. If the Jazz decide to go after Rondo, I wouldn't be be upset at that either as long as they don't give up to much to attempt to get him. Thoughts?

My best case scenario is that CP3 and D12 end up in Atlanta (although I personally hate the superfriend matchups increasingly happening in the NBA) so that the Lakers and Clips are left devastated, enabling Utah to rise in the rankings once they get their act together.

Worst case scenario is CP3 and D12 on the Clippers (even though I live in LA).

I am sorry but that gives me a headache and I can't read it.

I don't think it really benefits them.

you're going to want bledsoe over bradley, he's more of a point guard with pg skills bradley is just an undersized sg but still good.
