We might not want more than a couple of picks from this draft, but I think we should we use our cap space to improve our positions or to collect assets for a run at the first pick. These are all rumors, but LA at 7 and Sacramento at 8 seem to be shopping their picks, and the Bulls at 16 and 19 and Houston at 25 are trying to clear space for Carmello. At the very least, I wouldn't mind moving up to 16 from 23.
Chicago picks are in play

These teams trying to clear space present a great opportunity for the Jazz. I can see Jazz 2014 second round pick + future second round pick + cash for Bulls 16 or 19 might be a good example, as the draft has players in the 10-20 range who would be top 5-10 in a typical draft.

Depends on who is available at 16.
I would target Rodney Hood and Elfrid Payton as two guys who could be available at 16 who are worth trading up for. If not, I would rather just wait at 23 and take Jordan Adams.

I dont think Payton or Hood will be on the board at 16. Another player that isnt expected to fall but i guess could is Stauskas.
I hope if they trade to 16, the picks Zach LaVine.
Let him stay on the D-league affiliate and light it up before he plays for the Jazz, if there's 2 or 3 other draft picks It wont affect anything. In next years draft theres a bunch of lanky SG's, Zach is hands down a better athlete than the whole crop, At 16, considering the youth and playoff chances of the Jazz, I dont see why he wouldn't be a great fit here.
I'd hope Nurkic, T.J. Warren, Tyler Ennis, James Young and Adreian Payne are also in play in that range, Also i dont mind Gary Harris outside of the lottery, hes an instant contributor.

Harris or Michigan's Peja would be excellent pickups as well.
IMO, the 23rd must be upgraded if we really hope to shore up some of our front court depth or shooting. If we go small then that 23rd must be upgraded to get a guy like Payne. If we go big at 5 then the 23rd must be upgraded to get us another wing/shooter.
I love me some LaVine and Payne. IMO, they have the best potential to be steals. They'll pan out better than many picks taken in the top 10 probably.
Would love to get Mirotic.

Yesss. Mirotic would be a nice grab. We might be able to get a pick, too.
And besides, isn't Boozer in a contract year? I'd love for him to be a point-grabbing sixth man and earn a paycheck elsewhere.
Since the internet is a good place for I-told-you-sos... I'll note here that I've been calling for Boozer for a while now. It makes sense.
