Hollinger chat

Do you see the Jazz making a move to the first round, or any significant moves at all?

John Hollinger (1:24 PM)


Jazz have four first-rounders from past two years so I have a hard team seeing them gung-ho over adding another. It wouldn't shock me to see them trade one of their bigs, either Jefferson or Millsap, but I think they'd rather trade for an established PG.

Meh

Agree with Hollinger. It's not exciting, but I don't see the Jazz doing anything major tonight. They already have plenty of young pieces in place. No huge need to add another. Wouldn't be shocked to see Millsap or Jefferson dealt sometime this offseason though.

Let's just sit back and enjoy the other teams mistakes. How will GS, the Bobcats, and Twolves **** it up this year?

I think if Lowry isn't traded tonight, he will end up in a Jazz uniform.

Sounds like opinion rather than anything he has been hearing.

Fear not, Jazz fans. GM Kevin O'Connor is exploring ways to move up in the draft. They have the Warriors' pick in 2013 (top-six protected) and veterans like Paul Millsap, Al Jefferson and Devin Harris, and they might even be willing to add another young player (as long as you don't ask for Derrick Favors or Enes Kanter).

The question is, how high can they go? Their presumed target is Weber State's Lillard. They need a point guard and know him better than any team in the league. But if they could get higher and get an even better prospect, they would. They like Beal and Kidd-Gilchrist a lot, too.

This is old and was posted yesterday morning.

That might show up as this morning but this was posted more than a day ago, I believe. Nothing new here.

This is the truth. He is not an insider type guy. He just looks at the numbers and create a hypothesis based on that information.

The #UtahJazz have thus far been unsuccessful as they've attempted to move into the early first round of the 2012 #NBADraft. Utah has long eyed a lottery position after watching Golden State keep its 2012 pick, and the Jazz have spent the last several days trying to move up. During the past 24 hours, though, the Jazz have been described as "struggling" and having little "hope" of obtaining a lottery pick.
