Jazz select Grayson Allen at 21

Then we should sell our first rounders too... I mean most of those guys don’t pan out... plus if we hit on more of them how would we pay all the talent.

Dude! AND they can make like... more than 500k on one of those! It's a lot of money after all.

Is the buckets part supposed to be ironic?

Plus lots of roster spots... call Stockton’s kid, hornaceks kid, and ostertags kid and give em 10 days... this will be fun.

We currently have two second rounders owed to us. There was a time when DL accumulated a sizable plethora of second rounders. You know what we’ve parlayed all that into? Shelvin Mack. Shelvin ****ing Mack. And the pick we gave up for Mack was Denver's this year. Another Denver pick that could have been KBD.

Damn. So much hate for a guy who has done such a good job building our roster..... even after our “Star” left us high and dry.

Come on man. Being critical of a person or an action doesn't mean I can't also like or understand the good they do.

Don’t worry. We all love DL. I said he was a top 3 GM, if not higher, even back after passing on Niko. Stand by that. But he’s been awful in the second round. Bring back KOC for that. It’s the only place he excelled.

Has anyone heard and or figured out...

- What the trade proposal was that Gail Miller signed off on that would have cost the team money but ultimately didn't happen

- Which 2 "good teams" were trying to trade ahead of the Jazz to draft Grayson

???

My first impression when I heard DL say "two good teams" were trying to trade up was Boston and GSW. Boston loved Grayson pre-draft. Idk though

Yeah I immediately thought about Ainge when he said 2 good teams. It's like he can't help himself not to grab the guy that remind him of himself so much.

Boston would have some good assets. Which in that case, makes me think it was a little bit of, "Nah, how about **** you."

Grayson Allen looks more like a He-Boy tbh

Oh I like DL. He’s great and is a wonderful communicator... think he really sets the tone... just think we have a couple blind spots... this stuff is hard and DL has been fairly direct in saying there is luck involved.

He does have a point. Draft picks in any sport just tend to be crap shoots no matter how much you invest in scouting. Some have better probability to pan out than others, but it's all still a gamble.
