Following potential 2013 draftees

[The Midnight]

next year keeps getting deeper. I hope if he does pull out he dominates so that it will push a better player to the jazz.

I'd rather someone takes him this year in the lotto leaving someone decent to us.

Fyi....

Well if Saric pulls out then Dallas would probably draft schro yeah? Not good. Hopefully we can pry 13 away for Marion.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If we really can't get Schroeder or McCollum early in the draft, we should take BPA at #14 and look at Wolters with #21.

 

[The Midnight]

Fyi....

oh ****.

Wolters at 21 just sounds terrible to me. We don't HAVE to draft a pg. focus on bpa.

 

[Fishsticks]

what about us trading Favors to the cavs for #1 #19 #33
Kanter for #9 #26 and their 2015 1st rounder
Hayward for #5 and #30

wed then have #1, #5, #9, #14, #19, #26 and #30 in the first

and #33 and #46 in the second

if that scenario plays out...

i think the jazz take

Nerlens Noel @ 1
Alex Len @5
Shabazz Muhammad@9
Dennis Schroder@14
Rudy Gobert@19
Tony Mitchell@26
Tim Hardaway JR@30
Mam Jaiteh@33
James Southerland@46

And we would so much worse with all that than those three guys we traded.

Dallas has been working out a bunch of bigs: Adams, Plumlee, Dieng, Gobert. They also are looking at Schroeder and Carter-Williams, and they like Saric.

Jazz should have an open conversation with Dallas and see what they really want. If not, the Jazz should try to move up in the draft.

That Twitter post about Schroeder might just be Dallas rattling the bushes to try to get Utah, Milwaukee and Boston to make them an offer for #13.

Otherwise, why haven't there been similar tweets saying. "Adams was awesome in his workout at Dallas," or "Dallas loves such and such player."

Why would Dallas show their hand? They could easily ask to swap picks and acquire an asset from us going their way for our assurance of getting Schroeder (if we do in fact want him).

Well, Utah should have that conversation with Dallas. In that conversation it will be clear that Dallas doesn't really want Schroeder. That's showing their hand well enough. The Jazz should be discussing a bunch of trade-up scenarios, not just with Dallas.

It makes no sense to move up one spot.
Jazz will have to give up something.
Let Mavs take who they want.
If they get stuck with Schroeder who they may not really want so what.

I think DAL GM will be clever enough not to make that known with comments like:

"We're exploring many options right now - if you're interested in trading picks, why not take on Marion's contract and we'll talk"

I think that's entirely a possible scenario.
