What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

If you're asking if I'd trade Hood, I'd definitely consider it, although I'd prefer to keep him if at all possible. I'd also consider moving Burks to get Hezonja. Not trading Exum, though.

I definitely wouldn't trade Exum for him either. Nor would I Hood, unless it was straight up (+ another minor asset- definitely not #12). I would however (reluctantly) trade our pick + Burks if it came down to it, although I would 1st obviously try to do so at a lower price.

You kind of have to unload Burks, or at least Hood, if you get Hezonja. Otherwise you face a Kanter situation where he becomes so disillusioned with the franchise because of lack of minutes and under performs. Seems like a guy who wants minutes now because he is tired of being benched in Europe. Doesn't strike me as a patient team first, whatever the coach wants, kind of guy.

This.

I've said it a million times. Well. Before the Kanter situation even popped up.

You gotta manage people when you are managing a team. It isn't just about collecting talent. It isn't a video game. Hell even video games make you manage the people if you don't turn that mode off.

I like Burks, but I also really like Mario. That's why I talk about trading him for him, it's because you have to and I'd rather it be him than Hood, because Hood projects as a better shooter. Something we really need.

Those modes freaking blow. Someone is always pissed off about something.
 
We should play some sort of Franchise fantasy game on Jazzfanz over the years.

Everyone starts with the exact same assets that the Jazz have right now. Then you draft and trade whoever you want. Trades are voted on whether or not the other team would accept.

Then every year have a vote of who is in a better position.

It would be funny as hell to see what would happen to some people's teams and who they would draft.
 
Only if they have some target in mind for FA that they can only get by unloading contracts. Since FA happens after the draft, there is no way for them to be certain of them being able to land whatever big name FA they would target, so I don't think it's going to happen.

ok looking at it from the stand point of divac. they need to make the playoffs. cousins solid down low but not a great defender. they also need a player to stretch the floor.

pg play was awful.

so they come to the jazz offering #6, collinson and Landry for #12, burke, booker, gsw pick and one of the jazz future 1st. jazz draft hezonja and sactown gets Payne. (trade happens when Payne is still on board)

sactown goes after lma, love or Tristan Thompson.

So they really want one of hte worst PG's who gets minutes in the NBA (Trey Burke)? This makes no sense.
 
Can somebody please decipher this for me?

Locke thinks Portis didn't play against NBA talent other than Kentucky, which is wrong.

Played Damian Jones of Vandy.

Played Jordan Mickey and Jarell Martin of LSU.

Played against North Carolina, not sure if Meeks is a NBA talent, but he is at least borderline.

Damian Jones, Jordan Mickey, Jarell Martin, Meeks,.... are these guys NBA talents?


Never heard of them.
