[Thee Jazz Fan]

Every time I’m ready to check out for a week some random rumor sucks me back in for a few days. I’m ready to start the draft… it’s go time.

Also… are we sure we have a good rapport with Bilal’s agent? Sounds like Rudy is a little salty we traded him.

Anytime I mention Ochai and a trade I am labeled a hater. He is more attractive than Lyles imo... but I was not a fan of Lyles.

We are in a stage of our rebuild that IMO very few players should be untouchable. Ochai is not among them IMO, even though I like him... If he can get us to say... no. 5 for a player Ainge and Zanik really love... then so be it... we still need THE guy! Look at the playoffs and the type of players you need in order to fight for a title. IMO we still don't have THAT guy.

A Black/George draft would be pretty nice tbh.

I feel that way about a Walker/George draft.

The Jazz made Rudy Gobert the highest paid athlete in the history of France. That agent is going to be sending the Jazz a smoked salmon every Christmas for the next 30 years.

I'm sorry for the pain that is coming your way... and I feel the same way FYI... I just fought this battle and some think Ochai is the second coming of Klay Thompson.

Black is in Houston for a workout today. If we’re talking about super ideal trade up scenarios for us him going 4 is one of them.

Black going #4 is ideal for us because it pushed someone down? Or trading up to #4 and taking Black is a good scenario?

Pushes guys down. I would trade up for Black if we decided he’s our guy but likely at 6/7. Him going 4 pushes Whitmore and Amen down an extra spot.

Which is why we need to try and trade up into the top three

Ochai’s #2 hater doing nasty work.

You were throwing him in trades as an extra like he was Ish Smith…
