Perhaps generally. But I still think Jazz got the best player in the draft. Granted this draft had no sure superstars, so #1 pick may be as good as #9, but there is a reason Burke was the voted the best player in the nation as just a Sophomore. There is a reason why bookmakers feel he is far and...

Granted, Paul George made all star team, but given than some of the no homos here were longing for Babbit and Aldrich (who average combined 4 ppg right now) Jazz made a good pick in Hayward. I also wonder if Paul George was forced to play behind pathetic scrubs like Marvin Williams getting less...

Anyone has a link to box score?

Well, I think you will agree that two 1st round picks from GSW are not garbage. The pick could be fairly decent even next year. Iggy is no superstar, and they did lose some good bench players, like Jarred Jack and Laundry, who both put up similar numbers to Iggy last year. It may very well be...

Indeed - could have fetched us another pick. Although had we not had Marvin last year and Hayward played as much as Paul George instead of giving starting spot and minutes to useless scrub Marvin, we could have made play-offs and lose a shot at Burke. So, all in all, I must say with the recent...

We've seen worse: both Palacio and McLeod, who are pathetic scrubs even worse than Tinsley, were ahead of Deron. With that said, I hope this time things will be different.

Looks like bookmakers feel Burke is far and away the best candidate for rookie of the year. Granted this is not just based on player abilities, but the situation the player is in (like in Utah, where he can start and play big minutes), but when I look at this entire draft class, Burke seems as...

Agreed - Watson and Tinsley for min to fill out a roster.

I hope you are right, but he is still rehabbing from second ACL surgery. That cannot help his abilities to drive to the basket, especially when there wasn't all that much to begin with. Just setting realistic expectations in light of his second pretty devastating injury.

Perhaps he can even improve from 0 ppg he averaged last year.

True, but second ACL is no joke. At least Foye played OK defense, allowing him to stay on the floor in spite of sub 40% FG. Not that Foye was great or anything, but all I am saying is that getting Rush is no coup. He never averaged 10 ppg in his career and is coming off second ACL. Hence the...

Well, we can't just split it between players on the roster - they have contracts, but the bottom line is correct. We had to spend that money, and we spent it, while getting 2 first round picks, which may be pretty decent - perhaps lottery. As far as Rush, the guy is coming from 2nd ACL surgery...

That is absolutely critical point. Look at OKC. They've been able to do an incredible thing: get 3 superstars on their roster (Durant, Harden, and Westbrook) by doing what we are trying to do now: draft good young players and let them play, while accumulating other good draft positions while...

There is a salary floor, and it is 90% of the CAP this year. https://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q15 So, while Infection poster is right: 20 mil is real money, we had to spend it ANYWAY! We spent it on expiring contracts of back-up scrubs, hence ensuring our young core gets to start and play...

I don't think GSW have gotten worse. If Bogut finally recovers, they have a nice starting lineup with Curry, Iggy, Thompson, Lee, and Bogut. Barnes is great 6th man. And they have not lost Jack and Laundry just yet. Thompson is averaging 17pg as a 23 year old on 40% shooting from 3. This is not...

We now have Hayward, Marvin, Jefferson, Burks, and Rush at the SG/SF position. DC probably falls at around #4 or #5 in that list had he stayed. Good guy, and best of luck to him, happy he made some good money, but this team does not need him at all.

On surface it seems that taking on 20-25 mil for 2 draft picks is WAY too much money to pay. However, the financial brilliance of this move is that Jazz really did not have to pay anything extra to get these draft picks, because every team has to pay at least 90% of the CAP to their players. So...

2 ACLs for a SG is a lot. Rush is shot, anything we can get out of him is a bonus. In fact, we are getting 3 pathetic scrubs as a part of this deal, and that's the best part about it! A steep price to pay for 2 first round picks, but it fills out a roster with bunch of back-ups, which is exactly...

We may have been thin, but we had a young starter at SF position, who was already better than Marvin. We need a cheap veteran to back-up Hayward, and instead we invested 17 mil into a scrub while putting a better younger player on the bench and reducing his minutes from year before until very...
