It's just not working for me, so now I hedge my bets with my own pick. I didn't want to max TT, and now I can likely grab a top-8 pick, plus the Knicks pick which is nice to have.

Agreed.
Knicks pick is meh. Jazz is borderline playoff/lotto.
Always liked Thomas... hated trading him from Sac to Minny in the deal... but I get him back in Memphis.
Hopefully he can win 6th man of the year like last season.

Nice deal for the Jazz. Thomas is a very good shot blocker, but hes more of a bench player in my mind. Mark gets his pick back, which should be lotto.
Chris does strengthen his defense. Thomas could be a sick backup at 3 and 4, just think he gave up a little much.

Love it for Mark, great trade.
TT is a very nice shot-blocker, but he doesn't seem to have any real upside left, and probably shouldn't be starting. Solid pick-up, but not worth the Jazz 1st, let alone two 1sts.

No way Mark's pick lands me top 5 pre-trade. Knicks pick is basically a 2nd rounder.
Thomas is just that an excellent bench player. Something I need. Two picks for a 6th man of the year averaging 4BPG is more than a bargain.

I'm gonna guess this pick will very much stay lotto, but that Mark probably would've tried to contend without it, so in that case its decent value. Im just not sure Chris needed to add anything at all.

I like Thomas a lot. I just couldn't stand losing without my pick anymore. This way, worst case scenario, I add some nice depth to my team with my 2 firsts this year. I still love my Monta-Martell-Bargnani core, so we'll see next year. We'll cut ties with Kandi, and use Dice as an expiring to get a pricy veteran (deal Dice with a pick). Sets me up better than just losing TT at the end of the year. TT was supposed to be a highered gun to get me past the first round. With that not seeming possible, it's better to cut ties.
