I bet Stockton recommended Neto, not Burke. Burke is ready now, Neto will take some time, I think he's got potential...
Stockton IS involved with the Jazz

Why do accident attorneys always know the sums of cash they can settle for while staying out of court? It's because the legal teams and the insurance teams cross-pollenate; you get good at one job, then you're hired by the "enemy" and visa versa. You can't get anywhere with either job unless you have intelligence on the other.
This is the most rudimentary example of what KOC sits near the top of in the NBA. He knows people, and he knows who has been pollenating whom. Naw mean? People move from organization to organization, and they take intelligence and contacts with them. You don't think Lindsey knew what the Spurs were doing? Cmon.
You don't know 5% of what was discussed, so there's no point in writing some crime fiction here.
He knew. I'm not surprised.
The End.

Olynyk had a great SL game. At #14 it was unlikely the Jazz were going to get a starter. As a backup big, Olynyk's perimeter game would really open things up for Kanter or Favors (think 3-man rotation) to operate inside.
AS for the leak to Utah, I was thinking more along the line of Olynyk's agent. He knew the Jazz really liked his client. A possibility is telling Utah he's not going to be there at #14. Jazz moving up and taking him would give Olynyk more money and his agent more money. But I think it far more likely the tip came from an EC team or from hearing Boston was acquiring the pick from Dallas. KOC came from Philly, I'm sure he still has a ton of contacts in the East. In the course of conversation, no one is going to disclose their own plans, but I'm sure there's a lot of, "hey, old friend, so what you are you hearing out there. This is a rumor we heard about team X. Great, thanks for letting us now. And just as a heads up, we'll likely have some cap space come July, We can talk later about any personnel moves you guys may want to make. See if anything makes sense for both of us or if we can facilitate any moves."
I don't know how much of a scrub he'll be, but a Olynyk/Gobert draft depresses me a lot more than a Burke/Gobert draft....and the Jazz gave up pretty much nothing but a 2nd round pick to attain that difference. That if ****ing studly GM work there.

I think it would have been Olynyk and then the jazz trying to trade up for Shroeder or Larkin. Despite his off performance today, I think we can probably agree Burke can be a starter. And I ABSOLUTELY agree with the Jazz' international scout...teams were "sleeping" on Gobert. He's more advanced than we thought. Still needs to develop some offense, but he runs the floor well already. And if the NBA does change the rule about touching the ball after it hits the rim, his size and reach will be very valuable. Was funny to see him on the dunk. He barely jumped and his elbows looked like they were even with the rim.
Anyway, I'm much more excited about Burke + Gobert than Olynyk plus Schroeder (if we could have even traded up into the late teens).

The only thing I needed to hear about Gobert was from Sloan... something along the lines of "Watch out for that big guy, he plays hard"
If Sloan thinks Gobert plays hard... then we've got a tremendous talent on our hands.
Not to mention Gobert is the next Steve Nash... did you see how many high-5's that guy threw around today?!?!?!

Yeah, ****ing white people pretending they can play basketball... How pathetic. Don't they know how inferior they are?
