Following potential 2015 draftees

[Coach Ellis]

Ummm. He has three years left and can opt out after two. The Jazz still have him all of 2015/16 and at least until the deadline of 2016/17 (after the salary cap jumps). If I'm DL, I wait to see how he develops between now and then. Way too early to jump that gun.

you prefer to keep him and make him a 22 million dollar man after he opts out next summer?

Can you use those 22M to find a better player? If the answer is no - then you resign him... Luxury tax will be 120M the year his contract would kick in. We can afford signing pretty much every single one of our young players without going into luxury tax.

Your right he has one more year than I said. Even better, makes him more marketable for a trade.

lol, do you want to just always be rebuilding then?

I would trade up for Russell, hezonja, porzingis or turner.

Ford and DX both have Looney at #20.

I would trade 12 for 16 and 28. There is just so much value from 10-20 in this draft. Plus DL has hit with two guys in the twenties (Gobert, Hood).

This appealed to me at first too. I've since decided though that this draft isn't that deep in the 20's. We would likely get a garbage player at 28 and would just end up trading 12 for 16.

I just want the draft to happen

Makes me nervous. I'm guessing the FO (with a lot more info than us) has a smaller group of guys they want at 12 than most of us. If they really like Looney they should just pick him at 12 instead of expecting/hoping he's there at 16. Just go get your guy.

late first can be had for second and cash probably... there are teams that would want to save money. No need for us to give up our position, especially since it looks like somebody good will fall to 12.
