Someone GUARANTEED the Jazz would trade their pick!

[VINYLONE]

Oh yeah, that was me over about 2 months ago. And haters...you know who you are...tried to throw it back in my face a couple of times.

This thread will likely get locked, but bwa-ha-ha. I was right.

Of course, I wish it had been part of a major deal. DL just doesn't understand Utah needs a star, not just a little more depth. "D" grade if Hill leaves after next season. "C+/B-" if Hill can give Utah 3-4 yrs of PG play behind Exum.

Source or link please?

Damn you're right. It didn't make sense until you said it... We need a star, a great player. How does Lindsey not get this? It's so simple, get a star! Like WTF? Why don't we just do that? It would help our team so much.

Honestly there are so many teams around the that could also heed that advice (but I hope they don't, let's keep these secrets right here ). I know fans always say they could run the team better than the GM, usually I just wave it off. I mean how could a fan know more than these guys? But man, after that post it finally clicked. It's all so simple.. 'Get a star'...

Hmm, I know it's a long shot but do you think Lindsey would read it if we sent him a letter? I REALLY want this info to be given to the front office and I really can't think of a better way...

I just really hope no other teams have this idea before then.

You are so detached from reality that it's impressive.

haha no kidding

Do you want a medal or a chest to pin it on?

Seriously though, nice call!

He's a decent player, but his acquisition doesn't move the needle much. Jazz need to be taking some chances, going after bigger fish via trades or free agency. Hill upgrades the position: he's certainly better than Mack, Neto or Burke.
But we need stars. Why spend $8m on a solid, but aging starter/back up? Instead, Utah should be going after players who are all-star talent or have the potential to develop.

Oh really? Tell us more, this is revolutionary stuff.

Yes, the importance of stars in the NBA is such a subtle nuance that GMs like Lindsey just don't get it . . . but you do (of course)

Who's that star player that is going to move the needle that you think we should get that is available? Too bad we turned down that way better trade for the 12th pick (which seems to be equivalent to a late first in a normal draft and a early 2nd in a good draft) in a really crappy draft where every team (outside of the top 2) wants to trade out of.

But good call predicting that we trade our pick. Not like it was rumored and almost every draft expert and most of the people on this board felt was most likely. Its not like Lindsey hinted that it was a good possibility of trading the pick for a vet, oh wait.

Damn, we should have taken the offer to trade the 12th straight up for Durant.

This reminds me of the time I was watching one of the games, and my wife comes to me and asks why they pass so much and not just shoot it in the first 5 seconds.
