Following Potential 2018 Draftees

There are no coin flips.

There is no way they are drafting Rudy just cause Sloan liked him. They just assign each draft pick these little stories for the public to consume. DL has done it for every pick he has made.

K... point remains there is a lot of luck involved and a lot of things were not in DLs control. If he was so convicted on Rudy you never make the Burke trade and risk not getting him.
 
Ideas are good.

You have a history of incessantly posting primarily terrible trade ideas with some good stuff mixed in. Then when people call you out, you go to the routine “oh well I guess you know everything so we should just talk about nothing!” bit that you like to pull out. Your routine gets stale. It isn’t so much that people don’t like trade ideas, it’s just you. It feels like it’s all you post about, and you can’t handle people disagreeing with you.

This.

Like, I may post some nearly equally as bad trade ideas at times (not as bad though, LoPo, let’s be honest) but people just ignore them and chalk them up as, “Oh, there’s dumbass Mantooth Wessing it up again.”

The Jazz already had Kanter and Favors at that point, so it probably wasnt seen as a priority where Burke was. I'm sure they really liked Burke too but his immaturity prevented him from adjusting to the NBA.
 
What is the point of that TJF? Does it make you feel better to act like a dick? What is your solution to our title contention so I can poke massive holes in that?

I learn it one time you are get massive hysterical and Make it so mean people can tease at you. Ignore if they can be rude! If you can’t ignore rude you have to. Ok? They tease you more and it is mean.
 
And Cy would have mocked the idea Trey Lolz and #24 for #13.

I rest my case there. There is a difference between disagreeing and being a dick. Not hard to see the difference.

I probably would have tbh, but I could have seen the possibility behind it. In that trade the Nuggets got back a lottery pick from 2 seasons ago who looked good his rookie year. They also were still able to keep a first round pick. It was still an awful trade for them, but I get why (especially since they didnt have Millsap at that point).

Your Brooklyn/Utah trade has Utah getting a better player and a better pick where Brooklyn essentially gets nothing. 4 million in cap-space is useless to them this year. At bare minimum the Jazz would have to put their 2019 first round pick in this trade, and even then, why would they do that when next year's draft is projected to be weaker?
 
BK is pick starved and got the pick by acquiring Carroll... now they sell it off to save a fraction of the cap space and for seconds.

It’s LoPosided... I couldn’t help myself.

Philly might defer a pick this year because they don’t have roster spots and have an abundance of picks. They won’t sell those picks though.

Brilliant.
 
Evans, Huerter and KBP. Those are my three guys. If we get one, I’d be thrilled. I think all fit a need, are well rounded, and would fit in with our culture here.
 
I know u love trades but man you really need to make them less lopsided for the jazz if you want positive feedback. AB for Carroll straight up is fair... we likely need to add a second... why do they add a first here? Would you propose that if you were a nets fan?
AB for Carroll is extremely unfair. Carroll was great last year and he is a guy who can play the 4 and stretch the floor.

Burks is an injury prone 2-guard who has a questionable shot. He doesnt really fit Brooklyn's play-style at all and they already have a lot of guards. I dont think a 2nd round pick would be enough to sway them off Carroll into Burks. They arent pick starved anymore. They two 2nd round picks in 2018 and 2019 and they have all of their first round picks starting next year.
