    Just heard on the radio that the Jazz traded the 26th pick to Denver for a 1st round pick next year. Utah still has the 23rd pick this year I think.

    Nice trade by utah. Denver's pick next year will prolly be in the top 15, and is a lock to be higher than 26. Next year's draft may be deeper, so I hear. Denver must really want someone at 26,

    I am sure it is one of those deals where Denver can convey the pick by trading down to the lower end of the 1st round and render the pick to the Jass. Kind of like the raw deal we got for Turksan(?)

    I was just about to ask if it was conditional.

    Denver does have an Orlando pick coming to them...

    I haven't heard any details such as conditions but it is a potentially good trade by Utah. Denver may be trying to get extra picks in order to try to move up. I can't think of anyone likely available at #26 that would be worth giving up a possibly higher pick next year.

    OK, I found out the details.

    Denver has a pick coming via Cleveland.

    That pick will be Cleveland's own if its not lottery, and it will be Phoenix's if they are in the lottery.

    Then depending on the two picks, their own and the one from Phoenix/Cleveland, Utah gets the later one.
