What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

The Mo Harkless talk interests me. I'd probably trade a 23rd pick for him.
 
I think its safe to say Luol Deng would cost the Jazz about 4 years 56Mil

Chicago apparently valued him at about 7-8Mil before the year, he turned down 3 years 30 mil and was traded shortly thereafter. Rumored to be looking for a contract in the ballpark of Iguodala and Josh Smith

DL mentioned that after giving Hayward a substantial raise, Jazz still have a MAX slot available if they were to find a player and he accepted. I think that was in his radio interview. I doubt that player would be Deng. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see him as that big of an impact player. Lindsey also mentioned teams needing to clear salaries and the great financial position the Jazz are in. I think it's more likely the Jazz use some of their assets to acquire a good player that a team just can't afford (like Houston did with Harden). The FA market, even on the restricted side, isn't very strong. Which is actually bad in our case...teams with $ to spend may pursue Hayward just because he'll be one of the top FA's available.

I agree with this. There isn't much supply, so Hayward will get paid.

If PKM can post from his Nevada bunker, I'm wondering if he knows if there's a good chance Randle stays for another year? He hasn't declared yet and Calipari is set to meet with him, the Harrisons, Poythress and Johnson this week. If Randle doesn't declare, the tie-breaker we won over Boston might be HUGE! All of a sudden, there's the big-3 (Wiggins, Parker, Embiid), maybe the next two (Exum, Smart) + perhaps Gordon and Vonleh after that before the talent takes another drop. And maybe we're wrong about the prospects of Smart, Gordon or Vonleh. Perhaps after workouts one or more disappoints. Or maybe Embiid DOES have serious medical issues with his back. If a couple of teams jump ahead of us in the lottery, the difference in picking just one slot higher than Boston could be very meaningful.

I would do that trade in a heartbeat. Decent defender, can hit the three and from the few Orlando games I've watched I've noticed he has pretty good shot selection.

I think hes getable too. Mo wasnt too happy about losing minutes this year, its not because hes regressed or anything the Magic just like to play Afflalo as an undersized 3 next to Oladipo, both are good defenders so Harkless is just the odd man out

Omg k for sure Dennis Lindsey #GoGetHarkless. Is his defense that good, bros? Like how good are we talking. His measurements and athleticism are bawse, his shooting is good enough. He'd be a great, great get for this franchise IMO. Definitely a risk you swing for.
 
hes pretty good defensively tbh, good hands and feet (very fluid athlete), and hes got some nice anticipation and tenacity
