JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

The only way I trade Kanter is if some team is willing to make a terrible deal for themselves. We haven't seen how good he can be as a full time starter. Kanter is a mans version of Kevin Love and look what he's worth.

Sloan could. Calipari and he became very good friends.. Cousins visits Cal several times per year. Cousins is a big kid and immature, I admit, but he responds very well to those he feels knows what the **** they're talking about.

Could coach Antigua (??? that Kentucky coach that was working out with the Jazz this summer)?

Kanter is a bull. I doubt we trade him. But i wouldn't say he's completely untradable.

Steven Adams could turn out as good or even better than Kanter, but it's risky.

I think that's very unlikely. To date, he has shown no talent or ability offensively. Outside of height, they are not similar players at all.

Okay, so it's looking like......

Noel, Oladipo, McClemore, Porter, Len, Zeller, Bennett, Adams, Karasev, and Caldwell-Pope are 10 players expected to be gone before #14.

One of Burke, McCollum or Carter-Williams will likely make it to #13, depending on what Portland does.

Jazz may just need to get up to 11 or 12 to get one of them.

I've said this before, if Karasev cracks the lottery, one of the following will fall to Jazz: MCW, Bazz, McCollum.

Christ, if we trade ANYTHING for MCW I'll tip over the ESA. OVER!

Calm down bro, MCW with a jump shot is #1 pick in this draft.

Olynyk and Giannis might also factor in before 14. OKC is making a bit of noise about taking Giannis (probably just trying to get a team to offer them a trade). I'm all but certain OKC would trade 12 + a later pick for 14 + 21.

It's also becoming pretty clear. If the Jazz want Schroeder or Shabazz, both should be there at #14. We don't have to do anything.

Yes. Nothing is more true than this.

DraftExpress: Utah's interest in moving up particularly for McCollum seems to be vastly overstated teams in the top-10 are telling me.

I wonder how legit this is but here goes......

We're hearing from league sources that Nerlens Noel's knee was red flagged by Suns. There's speculation that he could slip out of top 10.
