The Utah Jazz made only one minor deal before Thursday's NBA trade deadline, acquiring veteran big man Alan Henderson from Philadelphia in exchange for a swap of second-round draft picks, and cash consideration going from Philadelphia to Utah.
The move, however, is not expected to impact the Jazz's current 14-man roster. That is because Utah is expected to waive Henderson, who has played 34 games and averaged 3.5 points in a mostly reserve role for the Sixers this season.
The trade will lead to the Jazz having a better second-round pick, though details on the second-round picks involved were not immediately available.

So, how does this benefit us? Opinions?

We get a better 2nd round pick... henderson won't play.... why did philly do this? Is henderson a cancer?

this is one of the cheapest moves I've ever seen. They gave utah some money and a better 2nd round pick to take off Henderson's contract. This is ridiculous.

This better not be true. There's gotta be more to it.

Lamest deal of all-time. Do the Sixers employees get a coupon the Jazz gift shop or something? Free concessions?

I think it prevents you guys from paying a big tax or something. So we are basically taking him off your hands so your owner doesn't have to pay that tax.

WTF!!!!!!!WTF IS GOING ON HERE!!!!! We could have kept him then waived him, kept the money and got a better second round pick! NO, what that f***ing King does is PAY Utah to take a player off us AND give them a better second round pick! WTF?!?!?!?!?! Whatever the tax we pay on Henderson that has been reduced by him going to Utah could have been paid by the cash we paid Utah to take him, so basically had he have stayed we would still be financially in the same position, the only difference is that we would have had a better second round pick, which we dont anymore. King needs to go NOW, TODAY, THIS VERY SECOND!!!!!!!

He paid Utah a portion of Henderson's contract, they did save money.

Even if they were paying the luxury tax, which they aren't, Henderson's minimum contract wouldn't have made a difference.

If it's true, then it makes sense. Denver did something similar in a trade last month to avoid a lux tax.

It's not. After Webber's waiving, the luxury tax didn't apply.

Personally I cannot understand how this trade benefitted us in the slightest, we gain a worse 2nd round pick than we already had, although I presume we would've traded/waived ours anyway with the 3 first rounders we have, and we actually paid the Jazz to take him off our hands... why could we have not just waived him ourselves?

There has to be something more to this that we are not being informed about, because otherwise it feels like one of the dumbest trades the Sixers have made in a long time.

Don't the Sixers owe the Wolves a second round pick this year? Does that matter at all?
