Aside from this disappointing pick, are we really just going to “run it back” at this point? I hope not. A significant move has to be made between this offseason and next offseason to take this team to another level. Bringing back this exact same team isn’t going to beat the Warriors/Rockets/pending Lebron landing spot. You can’t plan for when the Warriors run out of gas, you have to try and win now and take a chance now when you have the cap flexibility you have before 3 years is gone and Donovan is on a max contract which takes away all flexibility.

Local radio/Locke talked about Allen a lot and I got the feeling it was coming unfortunatly. Now you have media/Dennis sounding like they’re going to try and bring back the same team. That’s just doesn’t cut it if you’re going to take that next step. Once Donovan is on that max contract (which he fully will deserve, and I want him to get it) you lose cap flexibility and you become the Wizards or Portland stuck in the middle with no financial flexibility. Time to make a bold move Dennis. The Favors/Gobert lineup can win some ball games but it isn’t beating Houston or GS in a 7 game series.

I’m fine if we run it back as I feel there’s little available currently, whether through trade or FA, though we need to move on from Favors. I’m not seeing a very good solution at the four, but I think it’s time to move on and we don’t need to force that, even if we don’t have a solution.

How much CASH????

Yes i said CASH!!!! Cash! Cash! Cash!

They only had 500k this year so the trade likely happens after July 1... we could have packaged our cash plus 52 and moved up... but for the 3rd time in 4 years we sold the pick for cash. Last year we didn’t because we used it to jump two spots...

We are a very profitable franchise... I hope our reporters ask this question and are bold about it.

Greyson can't guard most 1's or several 2's. His offense isn't the problem. Defense is my worry.

We'll see how he defends. He was adequate defensively in college. He has good athleticism. Good enough that he can be a serviceable defensive player. The Jazz have good enough defensive guards and wings to hide his defense if he struggles a little. We picked him more for his offense anyway. We're set defensively.

It's moves like these that makes me question whether we are all that serious about winning the Championship.
