If the pacers trade 7 for a wing then I am not sure he is coming from Utah unless it is Ochai.

I would do 9 + THT for the 7th. They liked him last year. But if their sites are set on acquiring Siakam or OG then, I am not sure I buy all the hype around us jumping ahead of Washington.

I also don't see the value of jumping up other than keeping other teams from leap frogging us to grab a guy that we want.

They a want wing who can shoot, otherwise they would select a Thompson twin. I think Ochai would appeal to them if they can get the 9.

What's it say? HP has me blocked.

Haha - why did he block you, Cy?

He was basically saying that if even a portion of what he's hearing is true, half the league is preparing to do some crazy ****.

I hope this is true. Danny Ainge thrives off desperation in others. He came out like a bandit last year. Can he top that this off-season? Please and thank you.

If y’all are looking for a lot of this type of action head over to Vancouver BC in Chinatown near the methadone clinic. Good stuff.

If the Jazz stay at 9, I'd take a swing on Bilal and hope he becomes an elite on-ball forward in a few years.

The Jazz are clearly smokescreening on Bufkin hard or they're a leaky ship. I'm thinking it's the former.

I’m high on Bilal. I have him at #10 on my board, but would try to package him with a top 5 guy if they can pull it off. If not, it depends on who else falls to 9 and how likely it is to move up from 16.

Whitmore/Walker + Couliably is what I’m hoping for.

They want a big, two-way guard and Bufkin fits the bill. I think they wanted him at 16 though, and that probably won't happen.

I think there could be a game of chicken going on with Sam Presti. OKC says they like our guy Bilal. Jazz say they like someone OKC wants, like Kobe or Keyonte.

The challenge here is that I think the Jazz want to move up from 9 for someone and also get a guard they want in the late lottery. They need two trade-up deals.

Bilal is not happening at 9. That would be horrendous. Anyone publicly advocating for that should be ashamed.

 

[NUMBERICA]

I’m worried the opportunity for the Jazz to trade 16 for 10 might be evaporating with the rise of Lively.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

What? It’s 9 + the Lakers pick not just the Lakers pick.

I’ll take the better odds at picking an allstar. Than slow play that much the rebuild
