I wonder if Houston is considered a value trader or volume trader to him.
All I mean is that looking at something like who you think will be available there (which is total BS since you don't know until the tournament) and basing trade decisions off of that is ridiculous. Even more so considering that we have basically only drafted one or two relevant players in the past 10 years.
+1 I would trade positions with Houston in a heartbeat.
Well Houston is 4th largest market right, so they're definitely volume trader. I think that's a direct shot at anyone questioning KOC in light of what Morey just did with Harden, Robinson, etc.

--Acknowledged that some fans were frustrated.
--Said Jazz were not satisfied being a 46 win team.
--Jazz have a plan to deal with success.
--Current team is flawed.
--Current team is better than it should be 2 yrs after Deron rebuild.
--I won't talk about Rodger because Rodger's agent asked me not to.
--Some of the guys on the team will be back.

But in the New NBA landscape, those 1st rounders are pretty valuable. Nobody else traded a 1st today. And those 1sts with the Jazz's cap space could make the Jazz active on draft day....(I just realized I am already falling into the 'next time' trap-Crap).
I don't think that's a problem with KOC & Lindsey. Both guys pride themselves on developing young talents. KOC with the 47th pick thing. Lindsey with the Spurs, Ginobili and Tony Parker thing.
They just don't look at the position, they look at opportunities to develop un-tapped talent.

I am disappointed that the jazz did not make a trade, but I think Lindsay has a good head on his shoulders. I think we will be pretty happy with his work in a couple years. Remember what Kevin OC said about Hayward when he was drafted. I think most of us like Hayward pretty well now. Dude is ballin.
This is my fear too. My main issue with the Jazz is that if we draft Burke and he sits for at least a year, our core doesn't match as well age wise. Just that kind of stuff. I think we can all hope (and be relatively confident) that only one big will be kept. Hope we can either move up for a guy we really love or get another good young player on draft day I guess.
I don't get the age-matching theory - could you enlighten me on that?
Not a huge issue, but if we draft a guy who's 18 or 19, it's probably going to be 2 years before we trust him to do much, just knowing the Jazz. Maybe Favors and Kanter will finally be ready according to our coach by then so maybe it's not an issue. I'd just prefer to draft a guy who's 21 and a little further along in his maturation given the choice.
Ahh.. I see. Usually big men develops more slowly right? So it might work out OK?
