What's new

Smart moving to top of the board?

I just cracked the code...

the kings want Smart and don't want any of the PFs... we take him at #5 to hose them over. Because their guy is gone they trade some bad contracts and #8 to us for Trey and 23 where we select.... A-God.

So we screw them over and they thank us with a top 10 pick. Damn. That's crafty.
 
If this rumor has teeth, isn't it likely that it's because:

-Jazz worried that AG may go 3 or 4 (everyone passes on Embid), rather than Vonleh
-Jazz also want AG, will pass on NV
-Jazz may be left with a distasteful choice of Randle (fit problems with current roster, foot issues) and Smart (talented but not all of FO sold on him)

At least that's how I read Locke's Tip-off this morning

Stopped reading after the first line. if they pass on Embiid they'll regret it
 
I almost don't want to post because then I start to get my hopes up about x, y, and z happening but if Vonleh and/or Gordon goes top four, we have to take Embiid and then try to force Boston's hand if they really do want him, with us in return getting Smart at 6 an their other pick.

Then, trade Burke to Sac for their dead weight and the 8th pick where we get BPA.

Then, we take that other Boston pick, 23 and 35 to move up and get McDermott or Stauskas.

Not crazy about that team either. Too many good players needing too much time.

Just keep Embiid and hope we hit the jackpot. Try to get that Kings pick. Use 23 on Early. Stash a Euro with 35.

I really want the Jazz to somehow magically come up with picks 5,6,7, but that SAC one is DOA, as is anything involving LA.

I like where your head is tho. Fresh start damn near all around.
 
Well I think the only way they could get both is to trade either Burke or Burks plus #23. I don't know if the Lakers would do that and I know the Celtics wouldn't. If the Jazz take Smart than eventually Burke or Burks is leaving Jazzland. I would love it if the Jazz were able to pull off Smart and Gordon. That would be a A+++ and DL would evaluate his status from GM to GOD.
