2023 Trade Rumors and Gossip Involving the Jazz

The funny thing is when I read these mock drafts all of them are based off of the same intel from one person. Marc Stein said the Jazz were interested in Coulibaly and every single person doing a mock put him at 9 and referenced that report. It’s a nothing burger.

I simply refuse to believe that the Jazz are going to use the pick they tanked their asses off for on Frankie Smokes 2.

Didn’t we once use a pick we tanked our asses off for on Frankie Smokes 0.5?

Lol… that means we absolutely aren’t going to get him. You think we’ve been this close to the vest about workouts just to leak to everyone we want a mixture of Sekou Doumbouya and Frank Ntilikina? Not a chance man.

Who the eff is this Sekou/Frank comp? Really? That's way off. That would be like me comparing Anthony Black to Elfrid Payton.

Yeah, and we have the data now that that was bad.

Also: different regime. People are always looking to figure out Ainge's type. Well, their first attribute is almost always being a scorer.

Actually, Rafael Barlowe had it first. Then Marc Stein reported it. Then like 5 other outlets -- Ringer, Bleacher, Yahoo, etc. Some of them do have their own sources.

And even Tony Jones is hopping aboard...

I asked this question in the draft thread and it was crickets. Who is the last good NBA player to come from France’s A League since Gobert in 2013?

Serious question. Frank/Sekou/Maledon/Hayes/Yabusele/Okobo etc. They are all busts.

Rafael Barlowe has also reported some bs lately as well. Not a good source. Do you want to make a friendly wager? Zero shot we take Bilal at 9.

I'm not confident the Jazz will draft at 9. I think they're going to try to trade up from 9 to get Cam or Jarace. If they stay at 9, I think they'll take Bufkin or Black. Then I think they'll try to trade up from 16 to get Bilal. If OKC chases after Taylor Hendricks, that might work out for the Jazz.

Ainge has already been burned by a French wing bust before in Yabusele. I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit to take another one.

That's irrelevant. Who was the last 18 year-old, 6'7" wing with a 7'3" wingspan, playing above the rim and scoring off the dribble in the EuroBasket Finals?

I mean, Maledon, Okobo and Yabusele aren't even 1st-round picks. C'mon. Maybe Bilal will be an NBA Finals MVP like Tony Parker.
