The buffet in the NBA

Looking around the NBA the jazz are in a good place to take advantage of teams reworking their "process"

Here are some teams the jazz just might be able to feast upon.

The first and the most obvious is the 76ers. With a new GM and possibly a new coach, their roster might be up for grabs to some degree.

Let us assume the draft simmons to play pf next to okafor. Lets agree that is pretty sweet. They have noel to back up both positions.

Joel embiid and or dario saric make for a crowded front court.

Saric probably wont come over this year because if he comes next year his rookie contract will expire and he can negotiate his contract. He is shooting 40% from behind the arc. I am not sure if he is a 3 or a 4 but could possible play both. My guess is they keep him.

That brings us to joel embiid. He is a huge risk especially with his injuries. He could also be a huge get. Depending on what the price i would inquire.

I am also a huge fan of robert covington and wonder what it would take to pry him away. I would give up one of the picks next year for him. Not sure #12 this year would do it.

Lets look at a couple of teams that might just start a rebuild.

Chicago might be a rebuild candidate but my guess they would rebuild around butler unlass they get an offer to blow them away. Rose is not a foundation piece any more.

Milwaukee is a mess and they will look to move pieces. Greg monroe is the rumored move. Not a huge fan and not a good fit with lyles but if the jazz need to spend money?

Nosactown is a complete medd and their roster might be up for grabs. We have talked about gay. I wouldnt complain about him being a spark scorer of the bench with burks.

The lakers are sad sacks and i would love to see what they would ask for russell.

Denver is a mess

Orlando is flawed in their rebuild
 
If prefer the Jazz get a wing instead of a big. Maybe a back up C.

Middleton from the Bucks, what's his price?
 
What is Embiid's skill set? Been so long I can't remember. Rebounding, D, jump shot?

Potentially elite center downlow. Or just a bunch of medical bills. I'd take the risk for cheap.

Good jumpshot, great footwork, great post up game, good passer, high basketball iq, good defender. Great size. Decent athleticism. Think hakeem olijuwan.

Another good comp I've heard is Greg Oden

Everything. Great finisher around the rim, unbelievably fluid athlete, very disruptive defensively, plays surly. He would have bumped Wiggins to #2 had he been healthy.

No way The 76ers trade him before they see him play a game unless someone blows them away with an offer.
