Can't we just sell them for cash considerations like we normally do?

Wouldn’t it have been easier to tank harder during the season to move up?This exactly why I'm a proponent of trading up in the draft. I get that it stings to package a bunch of picks. As fans we like to believe that all those future picks will be high value and turn into great assets. But we have such an excess we actually can't roster all those picks. And the 2027 and 2029 Cavs and Wolves picks might be top 5 or top 10 so we should probably keep those. But the 2025 picks and 2027 Lakers pick should be on the table for trades. I'd like to trade up in the draft and hopefully get a young star on a rookie contract with long term control.
But it is a much higher risk than trading for an established star. The problem is I don't think the Jazz are quite ready to trade for an established star. Let's not go all in early like the Cavs and Wolves in regards to getting a star. Let's instead gamble in the draft and hopefully get the next Kawhi Leonard or Jimmy Butler and then go from there.
Also our 3 picks this year should be on the table for trades. After all everybody says there's a big drop off after the top 8. We're at 9,16, and 28. Let's make some moves and get top end talent on a rookie contract with long term control
Where?Guess where Ainge was yesterday? I saw it on Twitter
Paris to watch basketballWhere?
Yup! But unless you have a time machine that option is no longer availableWouldn’t it have been easier to tank harder during the season to move up?
Oh.Paris to watch basketball

Yeah that Wemby guy is overrated.He clearly likes Bilal.
I think a star is third on the list for me… I think the most efficient way to use picks is to acquire youngish starters in long term deals… like Huerter, White, Jerami Grant (not a long term contract). I think you get more value that way… with stars it’s seems like you have to stack so much that it becomes a bad deal and they tend to only be available if they have 1-2 years left. I wouldn’t mind trading for a star on the cheap if they were on a one year deal… then hopefully they stick around.Yes, of course, but you are playing it wrong. And maybe it's not a fun game so that's fine.
Maybe a better way to phrase the question is what way do you hope or envision our pick stash being used?
It feels like most of the talk has been around using the picks to trade for the next available star, but maybe we are seeing that isn't the best use of those picks after all.
This is what happens when your brain has been rotted out by chugging too much horse dewormer. Garbage in garbage out.oi bitch since when do i feature as a topic for slander on your profile
The Jazz have more draft picks than roster spots over the next 6 years. They will likely need to find a way to maximize their value in hopefully building a long term championship contender.
What do you think is the best way to use our pick stash? (Obviously we can use them in multiple ways and obviously is very dependent on circumstances, but you have to select one way you think is the most likely best use, which would you pick).
Like I said, I would probably keep all picks this year. I wouldn't mind moving up a few spots using the 9 and one of our future lower value picks, but i wouldn't use 16 to move up with 9. If we stay, I would want, assuming some of these guys might drop, Ausar, Whitmore, Walker, Hendricks, Wallace, Black. For 16, I would be happy with Bufkin, Cissoko, Rupert, Hawkins, Coulibaly (if the Jazz do their homework and think he can progress). For 28, I would want to take a chance on high risk high reward guy, but I would not be mad if they trade it for a pick next year if they don't love anybody. I also wouldn't mind keeping 9 and moving up 16 with future picks to Dallas spot, Orlando spot, or anyone else close by, if the Jazz like someone a little further up. As for all of the future picks, I agree that we are not going to use them all and we shouldn't.So what's your plan for the all the draft picks? How about you lay your plan out. What picks are you using to draft players what picks are you trading and for what? You want to keep this year's picks right?
