Some analysts have slightly criticised the Jazz trade with Golden State for over paying for the two first round picks. But do you take into consideration the opportunity for future moves based on the collection of draft picks and flexibility beyond this season? They turned two later first round picks into Trey Burke this year...

The argument is that Utah could have gotten other draft picks from other teams looking to shed money at some point between now and the trade deadline. So I don't see how that is relevant.
