Mock Draft 3.0 (Full Draft)

[fishonjazz]

The Jazz must compete next year or the team is ruined!

Absolutely no one is saying that. What is being said is that the jazz will unavoidably compete next year. They were too good to tank this season when they tried pretty damn hard and next they will have a better roster than they do this year.

 

[fishonjazz]

But post trade deadline we were pretty ***.

You talking about the part of the season after we trade 4 rotation level players for a draft pick and didn't play sexton or clarkson at all? Ya I dont think we sit healthy starters next year or trade away rotational players for trash. Add in some lottery players and a free agent or two. Ya, no tank you.

The next time a team goes a whole season without injuries will be the first. Our depth will be young and/or ****.

Agreed. Do you think we will sit HEALTHY starters next year doe? Do you think we will trade good players for garbage next year? Do you think Ochai, hardy, kessler, sexton, lauri, tht, dunn, get worse or improve as they age? Do you think we add a total of zero players in free agency or trade?
Our depth will be less **** next season. Really not possible to have depth that ****** unless you try really really hard.

Seriously? What a clown.

It was "well listening to them talk... I think maybe 26 wins isn't the direction... wishy washy type stuff".

It was not nearly as bad as his anti-tank Andy Larsens rant he did for like 30 minutes... then they next day started spinning the tankathon wheel on every episode.

I don't think we understand how truly bad you have to be to go 26 or lower. Like you have to actively try most of the year to tank or you have to have catastrophic injuries that you don't address or be completely incompetent.

IDK why you are so stuck on 26 wins just because you heard Locke throw that number out because he was doing a +/- 10 thing

We can tank with Lauri. Everyone got off to a fast start and we won 10 of 13 games. Had it been status quo all year I estimate we might’ve gone 32-50 good for the fifth pick odds in the lottery. JC, KO, Beasley, Vandoand even THT played well to start. We can tank with Lauri

When we tank with lauri next year do we trade 4 rotational players for nothing and sit healthy starters as well? Do none of the young guys on the team improve at all? Does hardy not improve? Do we not add any additional talent this summer? Are we trading away all 3 draft picks for someone like westbrook who we then just cut?
Had it been status quo all year this year then we dont trade conley, beasley, vando, and NAW and we never play jonny zuang or dok or the rest of the scrubs and we play clarkson and sexton a lot more and we end up in the playoffs lol. We finish with a record of 43-39. Remember, we got of to that fast start because we were good. We were playing our best players and trying to win. It didn't happen for no reason.

I'm merely referencing it because its literally the number he threw out. If someone says we will win 34 games next year I can nod and say "okay I can see that". So just saying we could have a worse record next year is fine. Saying we move towards 26 games means we are going to be what Charlotte was this year. I suppose if Lauri or Kessler got hurt it could happen but I don't see moves the FO could/would do that take you that far.

Doubt they would pass on Dick for Lively. They also need shooting.

Their lineup is SGA/Giddey/JDub/Chet/??. They're playing the other Jaylen Williams as a smaller 5. They have Tre Mann, Isaiah Joe, Lou Dort, Ousmane Dieng coming off their bench already. They want to play Chet at the 4. Dick or Hawkins would be good picks for them, but they'd be treated as bench scorers when size in the middle is a glaring need for them.

It wouldn't hurt them to make a consolidation trade.

@Handlogten's Heros how far do you think we will go if we make the play in or a 4-6th seed? Is that better than getting the 4-9 pick and our young guys getting much more experience rather than riding pine because we trying to scratch and claw for wins. If we tank one more year we will be in a better position to spend assets and salary to bring in the right players.

When we tank with lauri next year do we trade 4 rotational players for nothing and sit healthy starters as well? Do none of the young guys on the team improve at all? Does hardy not improve? Do we not add any additional talent this summer? Are we trading away all 3 draft picks for someone like westbrook who we then just cut?

they’ll improve but chances are they won’t go god mode like they did to start this last year and we could have as many as 3 rookies in the rotation. Even if we do just get the 9-10 pick again that still helps. Young guys get even more experience and adding to incredible depth
