If this has been posted someplace else I apologize. If we trade Lauri this will be used as the reason. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10126695-paul-george-rumors-jazz-eyed-mikal-bridges-trade-to-entice-star-to-leave-clippers

Of all the things to care about when drafting a player this is not one of them. And I dont buy for a minute that it is why he ended up at 32.

Players fall that should not fall but players also fall that fell for good reason. Jared Butler comes to mind. I am glad it seems to be unanimous that Collier was a steal but I some questions. His shooting percentages raise some questions for me. I am more excited about Williams and Flip but...

Bleacher Report was an A on Williams and a C on Collier.

DA is simply responding to what he likes in the moment. I dont think any team wants 3 draft picks two years in a row, especially when none of them are top 5. The real test will be if we make any decent moves the rest of the summer.

I am a lot more keen on seeing if he can develop a real offensive game than I am his defensive game.

DA got very lucky it rolled that way in Boston. No plan is iron clad and you have to have flexibility but pure opportunism with no plan is not a good thing IMO.

That ship has sailed

If I want to discuss other teams, which on occasion I do, I go to their sites. Zero interest in watering down Jazzfanz.

I have been there for the last several years.

Hard pass on LaVine for me. I dont see any scenario where this makes sense given his contract, not to mention his frailty.

You can argue it was a good decision and you like where we ended up, but if tanking was the goal it was done very poorly. If tanking was the primary goal, either of the last two years, you simply dont wait for the trade deadline to blow it up. IMO we have been stuck in the middle two years in...

And yet somehow not surprising at this point. If we go with something like Utah Mountain we need to go back to the yellow jerseys so we have claim to both the worst jerseys and the worst name in the league.

Not in this years draft.

There is no GM who has been in the position for a period of time that doesnt have some big misses. It is the nature of drafting and how dramatic the change is from other leagues to the NBA. The part that makes no sense to me is that often when people jump on GM's for bad decisions they are...

Which is precisely why the better value in our picks is moving some of them for known talent.

Well said. Luka is always going to be high usage - as with all great offensive players - but he is also playing the way he is based upon the kind of talent that is around him.

The fact that Luka is in the finals with the supporting cast he has around him says a lot about how great he is.

Ryan is far more concerned about what he thinks that what people on this board think.

We went to the ugliest uni's in the NBA. I dont disagree that it would be a mistake but not a surprise in the least.
