2019 NBA draft day thread

What if our FO was very aggressive, but the other 29 teams were just more aggressive.
An aggressive bunny is still aggressive, just not as aggressive as an aggressive crocodile.
Aggressive.

But don’t we Bell curve these terms? I mean, who’s running around saying that Jimmer is an awesome player? Oh, yeah, he’s awesome, it’s just that everyone else is so awesomer.

People really want us to trade 3 picks for 1 right now when there are good players on the board that probably wont even get drafted?

Thanks for calming me down. I get it. You don't overpay. Sure feels like Paschell would have been great at 23, so was 53, a future 2nd and money not enough to get him? Maybe not.

Bol Bol is being traded to Denver.

Perfect! He's as good as ours!

Bol Bol is being traded to Denver.

Denver doin it right with these guys. I bet Bol Bol and MP Jr have higher trade value than most other guys selected before them. They can probably include them in a trade for a disgruntled superstar a la Kawhi last year.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Bol Bol might be alright. I think his career is going to be more Odenesque though.

Bol Bol is hot trash That's why he's still there

7'3" guy who shoots better than most guys who just got drafted. Most 2nd rounders make it in the league if they are specialists. That's Bol

No I want us to trade 53 and 1.75M to move up and draft Paschall. Oh. Nevermind. The Dubs, who’ve won three titles recently, just did.

Oh well. I’m glad the Millers have poured all this money from the 2nd rounders we’ve sold, the great economy, and their trust back into the franchise.

This. ^ Wanna play with the big boys, you have to go into the draft and make the same caliber of moves. Warriors are one of the most aggressive teams buying 2nd round picks - it PAYS off if you do it well.

I'm glad you're on board.

That is a lot of work for Jazz staff to stay at 53. Other teams seem to value second round picks more than the Jazz. I can't be too upset but I get tired of hearing how the Jazz are going to be aggressive this year in the draft and then nothing happens.

 

[Miggs]

Bye bye Bol Bol.

Tony Jones told us what was happening when he said the Jazz see value at 53 about 20 minutes ago. And I hate to get all negative, but sure feels like buying a pick yesterday instead of waiting to see what happened today would be what I would call "aggressive." Conservative is only offering for a pick when you know what will be there. Then it's more expensive.

I think like @Catchall said, the FO scouted the second round well and know their targets. Being aggressive as a GM means making and taking as many calls as you can and trying to find a deal that works in your favor, or getting your target. The draft is a bit of a crapshoot and we'll all see how this plays out tho.
