Holy $#!+. After reading pages and pages of people reviewing Cy's Stan history, it'll be a relief when the Jazz deliver Black/Dick to the fans next week.

Too much imo
Man, that is maybe the perfect draft. Only thing that would make it better is more picks which I think are gettable (would Charlotte sell a 2nd for straight cash?).
I’m feeling really comfortable with Bufkin and Podz right now.
OK, lets say despite your reservations... the Jazz do those trades... who do you want us to get out of those players?
That's a little tough. On the surface I want to say yes but Whitmore and Walker are my two favorite picks from that group but they both play the 3 and 4. With Lauri on the team you don't need both. So I think the best fit would be Jarace Walker and Amen Thompson. But you would really be banking on Amen developing a shot. That's a big question mark. If he doesn't, it also has the potential to really bog down the offense with Kessler.
I think I might ultimately pass on this just because to get the best value from this group would be to take Whitmore and Walker but the jazz don't have needs for both unless you think Whitmore can play the 2

Q1 - No. It’s too much to pay. Although, I’d be happy with trading to move up for Whitmore or Walker.
I’m not interested in trading up for Hendricks, Black, Amen or Ausur - although I’d pick whichever one of them falls to #9. . . even if I’m not entirely sold on all of them.
Q2 - Hypothetically speaking, I’d draft Whitmore and Walker. They’re the only two I really believe in from that list, and while that might seem like overkill on the 3/4 position. . . those roles seem to be the most challenging (and important) players to find nowadays. I’d personally love a roster of long, athletic, versatile wings & forwards that the Jazz can mix and match with.
Kessler, KO, Walker, Markkanen, Whitmore, Agbaji, Sexton and THT seems like a nice start to the rebuild and the Jazz would still be asset rich (swaps in 26/28 and three picks each in 27/29) to make another big move or to hunt for a starting point guard.
No. I would only want one of those players, I think they’re poor fits with one another. Also too steep. We also need homegrown talent at guard.
Whitmore is the only of that group that I would trade up to get in general (unless the price is shockingly cheap).
Jarace and JHS
Yeah but in the scenario we didn’t draft a point guard.

would be an incredible draft. get one swing for the fences guys, and two really good combo guard prospects. the only thing i don't like about it is they are sorta play the same positions. i'd kinda like to walk away with a big, a wing and a guard, but i definitely wouldn't turn that draft down.

and they are getting jhs even if they stay put - so you'd (not you specifically, because you already said the price is too high) essentially be giving up all that for jarace.
