Draft Party? Why? Something in the air?

The Jazz are holding their draft party this year just for pick #47? Doesn't make sense to me. They must have a first round pick in their pocket. What do you think?

Fan relations. This is a yearly tradition.

Nope, I'm going with conspiracy theories.

Don't be ridiculous..






















































I'm like 99% sure there isn't a Starbucks inside ESA.

Half the people (slight hyperbole) are drinking in the VIP lounge at ESA. (or whatever the **** that place is called)

Does it bother you that the jazz are holding a draft party?

I like this. It gives me at least some hope that KOC will be under pressure to pull something out of the hat.

It doesn't bother me, just gives me hope. I would love to see them somehow trade Jefferson for a first round pick.

Hmmmm .. interesting, you should start a thread about that idea.

.. may be not.. but I still hope he does.

May be he won't be able to get a lotto pick, but at least a late first round pick or something simillar.

 

[Dr. Jones]

That would be great, tttkkk.

Don't get your hopes up until there is a reason to. Remember the trade deadline when nothing happened?

To be honest that was my feeling a couple of weeks ago.

But now? I think "What the heck?". Why not get my hopes up? There's nothing to lose. We've got nothing to be excited for until the draft anyway. Moreover there's nothing to get excited about for another 3 months after the draft.

So why not allow myself a bit of hope & excitement for at least 1 more week before the eternal abyss of the offseason?

It would be nice to get a first round pick, but frankly this year it's not the end of the world this year. We have four skies the limit players who will all be improved making this team better. Plus I think Harris will be improved as a pg in this system. I'm hoping he will run and be more aggressive.

Ahh man, the 47th pick happens after our pass out time.

Amateur. All you have to do is get totally hammered the night before on an all-nighter .. sleep until 5pm, start back up again, squeek consciousness to #50'ish.

Repeat.

I don't want to see KOC make a deal because he's under pressure to do something. That usually leads to a bad move. If he can pull off something to improve the team, then great, but a boring offseason is better than making a move out of desperation.
