JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

[franklin]

List of teams rumored to be trying to get rid of picks:

Denver #27,
Chicago #20 for T-Rob allegedly on the table.
Cavs #19 for T-Rob allegedly on the table.
Mavs #13 + Marion for later pick. Cavs at #19 is rumored. Please let the price fall to #21 n 46, or just 46.
Timberwolves #26 for Marshon Brooks.

I'd love nothing more than to have 6-7 first rounders on the roster next season. At least one will surprise hard in a couple seasons.

If we land pick 3 is Otto who everyone wants?

I imagine there are a few Oladipo supporters out there

Oladipo will be nothing!!!

I think I'd take Oladipo or McLemore over Porter. But I don't feel THAT strongly about it.

Hahaha... funny.

What kind of mileage do you get with that flux capacitor?

Man you guys, I'm away and nobody took over to keep the rumor mill going???

Here's one, can't believe they actually "want" Jimmer:

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 1m
Pacers push to swap Gerald Green and No. 23 for Jimmer just got a little more realistic. Larry Bird loved Jimmer in 2011 Draft.

Cody Zeller worked out for us?

Yes he did. Smart agent. You never know who might be interested in moving up. Or, Zeller could have a bad workout with a team projected to take him in the 8-12 range and he could possibly slide back to #14, especially if another big just kills it in his workouts and jumps ahead of him.

Here's another juicy one:

Adrian Wojnarowski ✔ @WojYahooNBA

Cleveland pushing to acquire Dallas' 13th overall pick, with a focus on drafting Russia's Sergey Karasev, league sources tell Y!

 

[franklin]

I'm going to start a twitter account, start a rumor, and see how long it takes to show up.

 

[The Midnight]

yep

Yannis Koutroupis @YannisHW

Oladipo said he's heard rumors about Minnesota trading up for him. Had a real good workout and talk with Flip Saunders. Says it's possible

Is anyone out there getting a feeling that we won't be drafting a PG in this draft?

At least not a starting one. Many comments point (pun intended) to the Jazz not counting on this draft to deliver their PGOTF. I think KOC and Lindsey already have a plan in place via FA or trade. I could see the Jazz getting Schroeder or Larkin at #21 if either are available, then re-signing Tinsley and getting a starter once free agency begins.
