Would not do the GS pick... second rounder for sure.

Why? Why would you do a second round pick but not the 32nd pick? Makes no sense. None at all. Especially when the player you get with GS's won't be much better than an early second round pick and the GS pick is guaranteed and the second round pick is not guaranteed.

Dwill can play the 2 at times and start for George when he needs time off. In the playoffs Exum may get a little rattled it would be nice to have Dwill keep things in check while George is out.

This is an unusually deep draft full of talent. I've heard experts say this draft goes 60 deep in this draft. I think there will be more then a few good picks later in this draft.

hmmm.. even when it takes less time than writing the post. Weird duck.

Ya.

For the record, I don't want Deron on this team, or anywhere near this locker room

Agreed.

Is boozer or CJ Miles still around? Let's go for broke!

Do a simple cost/benefit analysis. The few benefits Duron provides is nothing to the costs. If we acquire Duron we might as well just tell Hayward and Exum to get fed.

The damage to chemistry alone could potentially set this team back for years.

Well he's a fish, so... (i.e. not a duck)

because we can control the first-round pick's future for longer. In short, it's a cheap long-term contract situation... which is good when you're at the stage of a build like the Utah Jazz.

True. BUT, if you add Lillard, Deron, etc, to Hayward and Gobert, you take yourself from a building team to a contending team. In that case, a late first round pick hurts your flexibility when you need it most (approaching the cap). The 33rd pick becomes much more valuable than the 32nd pick.

You are probably talking bout the 30th and 31st picks. There are 30 teams in the league.
