what will Utah do w/ NYK's pick?

[Big Cuz 15]

After the eric maynor trade ... it got me thinking, they just dumped salary. Will they do the same w/ the NYK pick? package it w/ a bad contract to dump? would they be willing to sell it outright? will they use it?

My own thoughts? It's a pretty nice asset, and they're clearly a piece or two away from being a championship team. They'll assume they can hold on to Deron long term, but Boozer will probably walk so they'll need to bring in some talent - this pick may be the easiest way to do it.

They may well trade it, but if I were in charge my inclination would be to keep it barring a great deal. I wouldn't want to use it to dump a bad contract. But that's me.

As much as I would love the Kings to end up with that pick, I have to agree with you. They may not get a superstar with it, but they would have a great chance at aquiring a very solid NBA player, and perhaps even a star. However, they are in financial hell right now, so who know what they might do?

They will trade it and Kirilenko and Ronnie price and X to indiana for tyler hansbrough, Kareem Rush, T.J. ford, Earl Watson and 2nd round pick.
