Embiid and Parker are Leaning Towards Returning to School

[The Midnight]

This is the ONLY year I ever plan to root for Jazz to lose. This has been the least enjoyable year of Jazz basketball I can ever remember. The tank took all the joy out of it. I hope it pays off, but even if it doesn't I'll never, ever root for Jazz to lose again. It completely sucked all the fun out of the experience.

This.


Even if we only got someone like Randle, I would like us to start trying to win straight away with a new coach (may be Hollins?) who could whip these young boys into shape.


I like to see the young guys really grow with some legit vets, and let's see if we can make it to the playoffs next year!!!!

Sonny Parker(His father) Says Jabari is ‘Undecided’ on NBA Draft

How many more years do we have to tank to get the Merman Jordon then?

Let's be honest, we've had the 2014 draft as our best change to land a superstar for a long time now. It would be pretty crippling if 2 of the top 3 prospects backed out. I'd be fine with it if we landed #1 and walked out of this thing with Andrew Wiggins. Outside of that...it would be quite a bummer.

I think we need to clarify the original post:

-Chad Ford thinks both will declare for the draft

-Exum didn't actually say he will only play PG and only for the Lakers and Magic. That's just Chad Fords theories.

I wouldnt be surprised at all if Parker and Embiid stay in school. Losing in the first round has to leave an itch for Parker to go back and Embiid could learn a lot from one more year of school and be the consensus #1. I've always viewed the Jazz 'rebuild' as lasting a few seasons.

My guess;

Chance that both enter - 70%
Chance that Embiid enters - 85%
Chance that Parker enters - 75%
Chance that neither enters - 10%

Does that add up?

5 out of 4 people have problems with math.

worry is a form of self punishment for things you can not control.

My hope is to get #1, and Philly gets #2. Then we need to feign that we want Wiggins so that Philly offers us their #2, #11 from the Pelicans, #32, $3.2Million, and take on the last year of John Lucas III. Then with the #11 pick we take either Doug McDermott, TJ Warren, Zack Lavine or whoever falls. I would also be open to trading up with Kanter or Burke to get back into the top 6-7 if there is a player we like.

Then with the #2 pick we take the best and most transcendant player in the draft: Joel Embiid!

#2- Embiid,
#11-Doug McDermott
#23-Zach Lavine (Probably need to give up a second rounder to move up a bit to make this happen but it is doable.)

That is my perfect draft.

I'd rather have Wiggins.

Let's all just hold hands and pray for Wiggins. It's who this team really needs the most anyways.
