God, I hope the Jazz don't get Parker. You won't be able to criticize him at all. Sorry folks Parker isn't perfect and there is very little chance he is coming to Utah except with a road team.

Stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Doesn't Jabari weigh like 400 lbs by now? It's hilarious how down people are on this dude. He is simply the best NBA-ready player in the draft. He is gonna kill it in the NBA. If we get him, we should be dancing in the streets.

What kind of dancing? Two step? Poplock? Twerk?

If possible I would do --> #5, #23, #35, GS 2017 pick. for Jabari. Keep our core guys, add Jabari, pay who is worth paying after seeing next year with a good coach.

That would be a decent offer. Still keep first-round pick next year because it's likely a lottery pick. It will take couple of seasons to make the playoffs in the WC. If they want next year's, maybe put some protection on it (top 5?) just in case Utah either wins on the lottery or has significant injuries.

Yeah it's a decent offer, if we did this then the 76ers would have like 10 draft picks in this draft. They'd probably want future picks. I'd just rather not trade one of our guys. Once they finally started together they looked pretty good. Kanter looked a lot better as the season was ending and burks looked like he still has a lot more to offer.
 
I'm not sure if this has been posted, but here. Jabari looking smooth... Chad ford said that he looked winded after the workouts like embiid FYI.

He's got a nice soft touch on that jumper.

Haha

He is gonna be so damn good.

It's amazing that there are people on this board who are down on him. I don't know Wtf they are watching.

It's almost like some people just don't want to see it because he is Mormon.
 
Jabari lost some weight, moving much quicker laterally. Teams will be looking to milk us like Betsy the cow for him :mad:

Listening to the last interview with Lindsey, I think he's not convinced yet that we DON'T have guys with all-star potential currently on the team. He also sounded high on some players outside the four that most talk about as "franchise players" from the draft, particularly those who may not be ready for major contributions right away.

Which is one of the reasons I'm predicting the Jazz stay put at #5 and take Gordon or Vonleh and then try to trade up or even out (veteran player) with the #23 and #35. Cleveland, Milwaukee and Philly are going to want a king's ransom to trade down to #5.
