Central tank command : the official thread

If you aren't in the top 3-5 picks in a draft it doesn't really matter where you're picking. It's basically a crapshoot after that most years. This Jazz team was too good to ever be bottom 5 in the NBA. Unless some crazy stuff went down. If we're in the lottery we're going to be counting on ping pong balls. But even if we are picking in the 10-20 range I have faith in DL and the scouts. These are the guys that got us Rudy at 27 and Donovan at 13. They've drafted very well. We'll be alright.

The higher our pick the better it is for the team. Wether it lessens the chances DL needs to trade assets to move up to get his man or increases the value of our own pick to trade to bring a player in.

Sitting 10-13 is the worst possible outcome for any season. Let alone when adding as much talent as fast as possible.

See this **** is what I mean.

Jazz gonna won just enough, and only enough, to somehow land on the tiny zone that blows up the Tank and crashes the Bus.

Really? ****

I never saw it with Bradley. I had him as a barely draftable player in the draft. I guess I will trust that DL and the FO know better for now and hope he turns into at least a viable backup.

I think he will be a good backup... problem is that there are many ready made good backups that are dirt cheap. Why use a pick and development time to get one.

He also doesn’t have something different to set him apart like Thomas Bryant who is shooting threes. I wasn’t a fan of the pick.

Read the post I responded to: it was predicting what would happen in the draft.

Since Chicago reportedly wants a 1st for Mirotic, I'm saying it's very possible if a trade doesn't happen for Mirotic before the deadline, DL could wait to make sure he doesn't get a top-3 pick and then trade Burks and the rights to the Jazz' pick for Mirotic.

The positives to both teams doing it this way? Jazz don't get any better, especially if Favs is dealt. So the possibility of getting an even better pick may increase. Bulls may want an immediate return on a trade, rather than a protected pick. If Utah keeps their pick, Chicago can pick up Mirotic's option and trade him to any team.

Mirotic likes us. I'd take that chance up to around 12 in the draft. Granted, there's always risk, but this draft isn't as deep as last year. It's great at the top, but I doubt a Donovan is available late lottery.

What am I really hoping for? Jazz and Chicago agree on a lottery-protected pick and Utah doesn't make the playoffs. Jazz draft someone who will turn into a decent rotation player and then the pick conveys after next season, when it's in the 20's.

Mirotic's last 4 games have been unimpressive. Maybe that justifies what Lindsey has likely offered and Chicago doesn't want to accept. My guess is Chicago bites on Favors and a lottery-protected pick right at the deadline.
