So basically OKC is going to get a boatload more assets this year being everyone's dumping ground.
They're becoming like a sanitation system for the league.

I would do half of that. I would get the picks, and I would cash in on Nurkic. Heck, I might even include Nurkic in the NOLA deal since he gets along with Lillard and fits next to Zion. Definitely trade Covington. Maybe McCollum too.Roco and Nurkic are both expiring... so you lose value holding on to them. Clear the decks early and tank one year earlier gets you a better prospect in the 22 draft. Like if OKC had been able to get off of CP's deal and now they have all the picks and Lamelo Ball or Edwards etc.
Get 3-4 picks directly from NO... get a few picks for Ingram, grab additional picks for the other dudes. Rent out your cap space for a year or two and really speed up the full rebuild.
TeaseTrib's draft article came out. Jazz have worked out roughly 40 prospects. The article is subscriber exclusive only so I cant even read it lmao.

I’m gonna guess that we also are very sure we can trade back and get something useful. I’d guess we have a couple deals with loose frameworks already setup.Ahh. Nothing too interesting in the article that wasnt in Tony's Athletic article.
Sounds like everyone being worked out are fringe draft prospects. Utah must be having a hard time getting 1st round prospects in.
Yeah I like him… Butler is my fav but I’d be pretty excited with McBride.Anyone else really like McBride?
Still think it's mostly covid and the Jazz's pick location. It explains the big group workout in Minny. IT allows a lot of teams to see a lot of players at once where they can all covid test at once instead of having them fly and have to wait on testing for each place they go. Utah would want to have as many players in as possible for data reasons.I’m gonna guess that we also are very sure we can trade back and get something useful.

We're going for the undrafted. That's the strategy.Ahh. Nothing too interesting in the article that wasnt in Tony's Athletic article.

Maybe, or the Jazz are just going to draft on game film.We're going for the undrafted. That's the strategy.
They're not scouting for the Draft, but for Jazz B in summer league.

I think we end up buying a pick or two in the 50s rather than doing the undrafted route. If a guy is drafted you can pay him $900k... if not then you pay the minimum of 1.7M regardless of experience. That savings winds up being around $3M when you consider tax and salary. Late picks go for around $1m or less... so its essentially a free prospect for us. I would not be surprised to see us trade 30 for an early second and a late second as well. I guarantee we will have a pick in the second round.We're going for the undrafted. That's the strategy.

I mean if that's who he is we should all be thrilled.I'm not thrilled, but I see him as a Gary Harris-type defender who can make open shots. Not sure what he can do off the dribble.

Maybe Gary Harris in a point-guard's body? (Half an inch shorter and 20 lbs lighter than Donovan.)I mean if that's who he is we should all be thrilled.
