In the Next Five Drafts

[homeytennis]

the Jazz have 16 draft picks. That is to say that they have acquired six draft picks in their current mode.

 

[Maneesh]

Yes.

I lol'd

Trade 14 of those (not the 2018 or 2020 1st) for a stud in the coming draft. **** it.

Quantity does not equal quality. Barring a collapse by the Jazz or Warriors, the 1st round picks will all be late. Best we could get from OKC is #15 and Id say there's a very good chance that pick turns into two 2nds.
Look at all the picks we had this year. Did we get a 2nd year "steal?"

George Hill was probably the right move (knock on wood).

George Hill was probably the right move (knock on wood).

Diaw and Johnson were the right moves.

But what if Hill is just a 1yr rental? Jazz essentially gave up Dejounte Murray for Hill. Murray looks like a baller and will be extremely cheap for 4 years. I don't care how Hill does. It was a stupid trade. Just look at where our cap/tax situation projects in 2018/19. Unless Hayward leaves, Or DL has already decided Lyles will replace Favs, Utah can't afford ANY backups at $8-$10m. They'll have 5 starters likely making $100-$110m. That leaves 8 positions to fill - most will need to be on rookie deals, with 3-4 scrubs at league minimum to fill the roster.

Let's all annoint Murray the next Golden One all at once.

It's the summer league. Give me a ****ing break.

Seriously? How do people get this f****** stupid?

Hayward is going to get a max deal from the Jazz for Mike Conley money most likey, 30 million per year. Rudy will probably get a deal similar to Whiteside 23.5 million per year. Favors is in line for something similar to Rudy. That's over 70 million for 3 players and those numbers are probably on the low end. Nothing [MENTION=345]Stifle Tower[/MENTION] said was stupid. At all.

And that's still almost 60M under the projected Luxury Tax.

The Millers aren't going to go close to the Tax unless we are close to a championship. And Hood, Exum, Lyles would consume the bulk of the remaining cap space as well.
