Following Potential 2018 Draftees

I was surprised Woj and Givony didn't have Okobo in the 1st round. Givony even mentioned that he thinks it's likely Doncic and Musa will be the only two overseas players taken in the 1st.

Someone will clue in on Okobo and take him, imo. It might be us, quite frankly.

They are bad drafters... not sure if they were picking based on their preference or what they think the team prefers.


One thing of note... woj mentioned Denver May package 14 with faried to save $$$$$... we are one of the only teams that can do that on draft night... woj is very clued in on the jazz... Denver may have to do business with us again. Maybe woj was planting a seed for us but I wouldn’t rule out another Utah Denver draft night trade.

Depending on who is available I’d consider giving our pick next year and the unguaranteeds for faried and 14... they save and defer a roster spot.

Man, that would be crazy. Fairied would be serviceable, too. How much pause would they have if it was us to deal with? PR nightmare. Imagine if our big 3 was all gift wrapped from Denver while they miss the playoffs again.

I generally scoff at teams that don’t do the best trade because team X is in their division/conference... but in their case I may just say no.

If that is a deal we wanted to do I’d offer it to the wiz for Gortat and Denver for faried and see if that got me some leverage... I don’t see a big diff from 14/15.

If they don’t move money they will lose Barton and be in the LT unless they stretch a couple guys. Losing Barton would hurt quite a bit... not sure I’d pay a ton of LT for a team that can’t make the playoffs.

Also I like Faried a little. Think offensive rebounding may be a market inefficiency ... his personality worries me a bit... years ago I got the impression he’s not the best teammate in the world.

So then just trade him for Noah and see how many future assets you can fleece out of that ****** franchise and just waive Noah.

2019 cap space gets effed up doe. I’d keep him... he’s in a contract year and might be more mature... might appreciate a team actually playing him,
 
If the deal was right I would trade with Denver again. I'm not sure they would though. Every time they trade us a pick we draft a stud with it. Rudy and DM never ever would have been Nuggets anyway. Had the Nuggets kept those picks they would have drafted totally different players. But the majority of NBA fans don't realize that. Most Nuggets fans think they would have had Rudy and DM. If the GM in Denver trades us another pick he may be forced out of town by an angry mob of Nuggets fans carrying torches and pitchforks lol.
 
On draft night only Dallas, Chicago and Utah can offer the kind nd of flexibility to duo 10-15M in salaries. Dallas won’t do it because they have FA plans... so if teams want to dump on draft night it will likely be worth a first. Chicago would need to send back some salary but have some cheap contracts on decent players which may have value.

It is important to clear salary pre FA for Denver so they know if they can offer Barton a deal.
