Following potential 2013 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
It seems like a lot of teams are going to want draft picks and cap flexibility in the summer of '14 due to the free-agent class as well as the draft class. If the Jazz can keep cap flexibility next year, they might be able to make a good move or two with teams looking to shed players. In other words, if there isn't a good deal for Sap or Al available now, there's still value in simply letting them expire this summer in order to set us up for a deal next year.
Free agency is still "the big unknown" for us I'd say. Our biggest acquisitions over the past decade have been Okur and Boozer, and with Boozer it was dubious at best with big shenanigans with the Cavs.
Yes OK with the new CBA we might be able to attract more talents, but it's not for sure yet. Indiana had HUGE cap space a few years ago and all they got was David West. Enough said.
That's why we're all pretty excited with the Bledsoe rumour. Its our chance of locking up an exciting young player who's just about to reach his peak (i.e., Harden) without having to sell "Utah" to him.

I like Bilas but he needs to be less transparent and mention the Lance Thomas scandal at least when he's on his soapbox.
I totally agree. He's usually pretty fair, though. The UNC stuff is mind blowing. So the NCAA says the it's none of their business because it's an internal academics thing .. holy ****!
I'm not saying the Jazz will pursue FAs. I think the Jazz should stay in a position to counter punch and benefit from other teams pursuing FAs. Teams who think they can get a FA may send us a player and a sweetner to clear cap room.
I spoke with Andrew Harrison yesterday, for first time.
Speaks like a professor and is edgy at the same time.
He's not interested in scoring though he knows he can put up 30 if his team needs him to.
I asked if he's not concerned with scoring, what kind of assists is he shooting for.. He said, no goals, whatsoever, but to dominate every game and have an undefeated season.
Kid is special. Going to love watching he and his brother along with James Young sharing a backcourt next year.

Interesting.. Mine's still Burke and GRIII.
Though I think Burke is only reachable if they don't make a deep run in the tournament. If we miss out on both Bledsoe and Burke I'd be gutted. Like it'll take me a decent holiday overseas to get over it.
Otto Porter. If you don't see how great he is you are all clowns.
