Is it better that the Jazz keep both picks?

I know that there is still the chance that they can win the lottery and get a higher pick, but with all of these top 5 guys deciding to stay in college I think it is better that the Jazz make a move to get one of the top 2 picks and walk away from this draft with Irving or Derrek Williams. I am not a draft guru so I don't know what it would take to move up to a top 2 but with 2 first rounders and some guys of interest that they can move it seems plausible.....I think they need to get either Irving or Williams for this draft to be a success.......... Thoughts?
 
I've been thinking and would want to trade if we didn't get Irving, D-Will2 and maybe Biyombo/Kanter but don't think anyone else is really worth a lottery pick.

But think about it, if its a very weak draft why would others want to trade up and take our picks?
 
The Jazz have three rookies on the team this last year. They have two lottery picks this year, and they have two first round picks next year. It's probably not a good idea to have 7 roster spots for players this young. They need to trade some of the picks. The CBA expiring may hamper the Jazz flexibility this year and you never know what next year will bring. If they can bundle a player and one of the picks to get a good wing, they should do it.
 
I'd trade 6 & 12 for #2 in a heartbeat. End up with Williams from Arizona (assuming he doesn't go #1). It's a pretty weak draft with 2 stud players. Irving & Williams. Everyone else is a tier below.

Normally I would agree but the regular season's over, playoffs' started without the Jazz in it.. tribjazz twitter has come to a halt.. there's just so little to follow or talk about except the draft..

~__~ it's gonna be a long post season indeed and I'm not about to start watching baseball..

another reason a sarcasm font would be amazing.

Yeah, that's a great idea. You know what would be even more awesome...if the thread eventually became so large that it spanned hundreds of pages and had 2000 posts!!! I'd love to read through that!!! Plus, there are so many other jazz things to discuss between now and draft day that we don't want to clog the front page with draft stuff.

Oh yeah...I've been thinking. Next season, let's just have One GIANT thread for each player! That way we only need 12 different threads so we don't clog up the front page!

Great idea! However, we would need more than 12 different player threads since some people here love talking about players that aren't even on the Jazz anymore or aren't even NBA players (yet). That would make the Boozer and Jimmer fans happy.
 
Hey we really only one Jazz thread. The draft, the roster, the coaches, the fans, the ESA, Corbin and prospective replacements for him, KFAN interviews, Jazz press conferences, Gary Briggs' infirmary, reruns of old playoff games, Sloan selling his tractors, the movie Celtic Pride, etc. etc. all this stuff is Jazz related so don't go making a bunch of different threads for each one. Mods, please delete all threads except for one. The one titled Jazz. That'll make things a lot simpler.
