How should the Jazz use their extra draft picks?

oi bitch since when do i feature as a topic for slander on your profile

This is what happens when your brain has been rotted out by chugging too much horse dewormer. Garbage in garbage out.

The Jazz have more draft picks than roster spots over the next 6 years. They will likely need to find a way to maximize their value in hopefully building a long term championship contender.

What do you think is the best way to use our pick stash? (Obviously we can use them in multiple ways and obviously is very dependent on circumstances, but you have to select one way you think is the most likely best use, which would you pick).

Look, if Ainge and Smith are as committed to winning a championship as they say they are (and I believe them), the job is clear:

• Get a top-5 NBA player who can create for themselves and others. That's easier said than done, but it's the best lever of raising championship odds.
  • The quickest way would be making an offer on Giannis or Luka, but it would cost a lot. I believe this is the likely plan for Ainge - he's just waiting for the opportunity..
  • Strong draft skill and luck could yield this, but it's unlikely and would require an extended rebuild.
  • You also have to decide if you think Lauri has top-5 NBA potential - I don't see that at all, but if he took a similarly-sized leap next year? Still hard to see.
• Surround Top5, Lauri and Kessler with the best and lengthiest 3&D players you can get.

My guess: Ainge is going to bide time for a superstar to become available and go all in. In the meantime, he's going to construct the rest of the roster he could see on a championship team.

So what's your plan for the all the draft picks? How about you lay your plan out. What picks are you using to draft players what picks are you trading and for what? You want to keep this year's picks right? Through out some names of guys your taking and let's see your roster construction

Like I said, I would probably keep all picks this year. I wouldn't mind moving up a few spots using the 9 and one of our future lower value picks, but i wouldn't use 16 to move up with 9. If we stay, I would want, assuming some of these guys might drop, Ausar, Whitmore, Walker, Hendricks, Wallace, Black. For 16, I would be happy with Bufkin, Cissoko, Rupert, Hawkins, Coulibaly (if the Jazz do their homework and think he can progress). For 28, I would want to take a chance on high risk high reward guy, but I would not be mad if they trade it for a pick next year if they don't love anybody. I also wouldn't mind keeping 9 and moving up 16 with future picks to Dallas spot, Orlando spot, or anyone else close by, if the Jazz like someone a little further up. As for all of the future picks, I agree that we are not going to use them all and we shouldn't.
The type of player I would target with a trade is a disgruntled star, ala Paul George when he wanted out of Indiana. Target an up and comer like Haliburton, my favorite option. Also, for higher-end role players. I just think it is all such a crapshoot and luck plays such a big part that when you reach for a an unknown commodity like Miller, there is a high chance of looking like 76ers trading for Fultz.

I cant think of any decision worse with our 3 draft picks than keeping all of them. Trade for a star if possible, next trade for some young upcoming talent that we have a good idea of who they are, or trade up in the draft. No team and no coach wants 3 first round rookies to break in.
