Jimmer - Trade Bait?
ESPN is reporting the Kings want to acquire a 1st round draft pick (Thurs, June 27) - and are using Jimmer Fredette as trade bait. Teams that might end up with Jimmer: Pacers or Jazz. Personally, I would love to see Jimmer escape the Sacramento Kings. Either team would be an improvement.

I really hope the Jimmer never ends up on the Jazz. There are too many douche bag Jazz fans out there (Ute fans).

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
The nice thing is that Jimmer hasn't impressed enough to warrant a lottery pick in a trade (other than the Jazz pick as he has added value to the Jazz in ticket sales and local viewership), so if the Kings are set on a 1st round pick, Jimmer will likely go to a contending team or the Jazz....unless someone else is holding a contender's pick, that is.

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
I'd have to second this. I'm hoping he ends up somewhere where he can just play and not have circus around him. If he comes here it will be like a mini Tebow circus and the won't embrace him.hawkwing wrote:I really hope the Jimmer never ends up on the Jazz.

Finally figured out how to get the Rich Rod quote off my signature that randomly showed up! Sorry if you thought I stole it from you……..whoever it was that used to have it

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
Please let him land with the Pacers. A team that plays like a team is where he would fit in great.

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
The Pacers had a nice run this year. I didn't know how good they were till they were battling the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Pacers definitely have serious upside for Jimmer. Expectations for him would be relatively low. He'd have to fit into the rotation and hit clutch 3's like Ray Allen. No big deal.

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
Latest is that the Kings haven't talked to anyone about trading Jimmer as of yet, indicating talks with Pacers and Jazz never happened?

Later story clarifies that they have taken calls, but not made calls. Any first round pick will net you Jimmer:

My best guess is that Jimmer gets the same treatment he got when he was drafted--the deal will be contingent on the other team using their pick for a specific player at the direction of the Kings, and immediately after the pick they trade the drafted player's rights for Jimmer. So don't expect any news until late in the first round tomorrow night.

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
So, with the Kings not moving Jimmer before or at the draft, but with the Kings adding two guards with their picks, does Jimmer move from trade bait to someone on whom they will cut bait?

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
If they do they would have to eat the last year of his contract. That would be good for Jimmer.

Re: Jimmer - Trade Bait?
Anything that gets him out. There are a handful of teams that wouldn't be any better given coaches and personnel, but I think Jimmer would find a great home on 2/3 of the teams in the league.
