i can't believe the argument about Burke and Bledsoe. as long as Ty is coach he would start Bledsoe. he would consider him a vet and having paid his dues. Burke would be lucky to sniff bledsoes jock strap year 1.
 
NBA GM - "2013 draft class historically weak"

"It's a historically weak draft that, as a result, you're going to
see a lot more guys putting their name in knowing they'll go higher in
this draft, even though they may not be ready, just because next year's
class has such incredible depth that they could actually play better and
improve and drop their draft status next year," said the GM who spoke
on condition of anonymity because he is not permitted to comment
publicly on prospects.

The GM said that the 2014 draft class is so strong that he rattled
off more than half a dozen players he would take No. 1 if they went this
year: Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Julius Randle, Aaron Gordon, Andrew and Aaron Harrison and Noah Vonleh.


"I think conservatively there are probably seven guys in next year's
draft that would have a shot at going No. 1 in this year's draft," he
said.

If we get them, I hope you're right. And I'm obviously not saying there won't be some good/great players, I just think its generally weak.
 
Just started following this Mike Muscala fella. Center out of Bucknell University. Averaging 19.3 PTS, 51.3 FG%, 11.7 REB, 2.8 AST, and only 1.9 TO's. Expected to be a late first round pick.

My draft picks now; Mike Muscala, Andre Roberson, Nate Wolters.
If Trey Burke isn't available by the time we pick I'd like to see the Jazz trade our first round picks to Cleveland for their first round pick (Miami's own 2013 first round pick (very late first round)) their second round pick (3rd) and also their second round pick (4th) for our second round pick (17th). And perhaps one of their 2015 first round picks or 2014 second round picks.
 
I like all three of those players (particularly Roberson), but I don't want 3 rookies on the roster next season, especially since all four of the Big 4 already need more minutes for their development. Though that could be fixed pending what happens with Sap/Jefferson/Foye/Mo this offseason.

All I really want this offseason is to have our PG of the future on the roster by 2013-2014. If it's Bledsoe, great. Assuming it's not, my guess is it's either Burke or McCollum (my boy).

Personally, I don't think either will be there at the 16-18 range where I envision us drafting first. My hope is to package our two first-rounders to move up to the 8-12 range to find a trade partner (Philly? Minny? Charlotte? Phoenix?) who, based on their current rosters, is not likely looking to draft a PG in the lottery. Hopefully one of those teams is anxious to stockpile young talent rather than take BPA at their slated draft range.
