Following Potential Draftees - 2019 (not kidding)

I would love for us to trade 23 to Philly for 33 and 34. Just seems like all these guys are really the same range and would let PHI get rid of some picks that won’t make the roster.
 
David Locke on his podcast today sure sounded like he was trying to set people's expectations that we're going to trade the pick. He was going on and on about how late first-round picks rarely pan out. Nevermind that the best player on our team was picked at #27, the last All Star we drafted was Millsap at #47, and that Toronto is in the NBA Finals with several late picks, including Marc Gasol and Kyle Lowry.

If Keldon Johnson, Mfiondu Kabengele or Darius Bazley are available at #23, there'd better be a pretty obvious deal for us to trade out of the draft. Even Dylan Windler would make a difference.

A lot of good point here, then you pick 4 future scrubs ;)

Interesting timing for all of this too because it comes after a few huge workouts.

I think there are a couple guys they like, and if one of them doesn't drop, they'll trade back or out. They probably like guys like PJ Washington, Brandon Clarke and maybe Okpala.

Jones has been reserved as he normally is. Locke would be fun to play poker against cause he can't hide.

If I were in the Jazz organization, I’d leak like crazy to Locke about anything and everything EXCEPT who I really like. Wouldn’t let on with that info at all.

They aren't trying to collect picks. They are trying to win now. His shot is really irrelevant. They aren't trading him unless it's in a package for something that helps them win now.

The 6th pick is a great asset if you are trying to leverage a larger trade. Ball himself is probably better, but the sixth pick is more of a "universal donor" situation where it could be useful to any team as opposed to a more limited market for Ball.
