Potential Promise to DJ Wilson?

Yeah, he gave himself away with the second answer. Do we really believe that the Jazz have never promised someone?

There's a fine line between the Jazz guaranteeing to take a player with a certain pick and saying that they'll take a player at 30 if they're still drafting at 30 and if the player is on the board. The latter has a caveat/contingency.

The Jazz have promised guys before, including CJ Miles.
 
Walt Perrin had so many contradictions in his statement when interviewed about this.

"As far as I can remember, we've NEVER said, we will definitely take you, you have a guarantee that we will take you if you happen to be there."
"NEVER happened" in his 16 years according to Perrin.

And then later in the article...

"We're a team that honors our word, so if we tell a guy that we will take him and we guarantee him - WHICH WE DON'T DO VERY OFTEN....."

Hmmmm what happened to "never"?
