Argh I can’t wait…work is going by so slowly

I kind of have a feeling something big happens with the Jazz tonight (defined by me as someone other than Favors getting traded).

Same. I think this is the most smoke I’ve ever seen around the Jazz before a draft.

The fact that the Jazz are tight-lipped about trades and have a relationship with the Pacers through David Morway makes the Jazz a potential candidate to be the mystery team. I think it would take Bogdanovic to move up to #13 though, probably in a 3-team deal.

Who is this player? I think Grimes is likely to be there so I'm guessing its a guy that might be slipping a little. My wild guess is Springer. The more I hear the more I get confused on why he seems to be sliding a bit.

And hasn’t Tony been on Ford’s podcast several times recently? Hmm

My initial reaction was Springer or McBride

Knicks potential Bogey destination and Thunder a potential Favors destination. SO we HAVE to be the 3rd team.

I'd easily buy some 2nd's to see if you can grab some of these fringe guys - everyone is a crapshoot after 20 or so anyway.

And you basically make money if you are a team over the tax and have no depth because of how uniquely cheap they are.

It 100% makes sense if we are... Indiana gets Bogey... OKC gets salary dumped... some picks head our way and to Indiana... OKC moves up.

My guess would be Springer, though it's possible they really like McBride or Ayo. A long-shot would be Garuba if his buy-out situation delays him coming over, but I doubt it.
