It's not just the contractual issue. Our culture is the best thing we've got going for us at the moment. The last thing I would want is a guy who is not interested in being here and coming in and ruin that culture.

I'll wait 'til he says something more definite before I'm anti-Kaminsky. I really like his game. But I like Turner more. Fingers crossed.

Some actions speak louder than words though. If we're within his range and he doesn't come. I mean he isn't going to come outright and say anything.


With Exum he didn't expect to drop that far so that's fine. Kaminsky isn't a lock to go top 10 by any means.

I couldn't believe Kaminsky would be this stupid. Googled it and it's mentioned here:

If this is the case I hope Favors pulls a Karl Malone and elbows his teeth out like Chiclets.

Ok, I read the story. Is this what everyone's getting worked up about:
According to a source with knowledge, Kaminsky has a short list of three teams which he believes would be a good fit, and the Pacers are one of them.

This is so vague, guys. Again, I'm not getting my panties in a bunch over it. There are a few players I like better than Kaminsky but if they're gone I'm all for grabbing him. He'd be great in Utah.

Another Angle to consider is "Fit".


Do you guys really think Oubre would want to stay in Salt Lake and be happy here long term? I'm not sure, I don't know him personally. But Kaminsky sure won't be happy here. He didn't even want to workout here let alone play here - and he's well WITHIN OUR DRAFT RANGE!!!! C'mon now.


I think that leaves us with Turner to consider. He would be a great fit here with his #humble attitude. A great fit for this great city of ours and a great representative for our people who value humility above all else as well. Just seems to fit our culture to the T as well. (T for Turner).

Geez its stuff like this that makes it hard for me to take u seriously, or even respect u. What if we hadn't drafted Exum and DL in explaining why says he wouldn't come for a workout so we passed. U would be leading the charge about how foolish DL was for not picking him if Exum turned out to be a star. Same with Kanter.

Lol those are top-5 picks, Exum was thought to be guaranteed to go top-4. At 12 there are so many more options, it's hard to believe Kaminsky would be BPA.

Kanter had a private workout for us in CHI. With Exum I just explained why that wasn't an issue, he wasn't projected in our range so it made no sense for him to come workout for us.

Just the same if we pass on Kaminsky and DL says we pAssed due to him not coming for a visit. A ton of u would be calling for DL's dead and don't go denying it either. I f u r DL and think Kaminsky is best player available u take him regardless of weather he comes or not. Period, end of story.

I don't care the reason if he's the best available u draft him and not let the player dictate what u do or every player from kingdom come will walk all over us.

Kaminsky won't be the BPA even if he was available at 12 but would he be a perfect fit for the Jazz? Yes. But I want Turner instead cuz of his great potential.

Please don't be rude to One Love. He has the right to have his opinions, its true. Not everything you say is always the best either. We can all have our own thoughts. My thought is do not draft Kaminsky, Dekker or Lyles. But I am not stupid for thinking it.
