The official: Who can we get with around the 15th pick?

I'm the president of team win now so don't throw the bakking cakkes on me... I just think unless we got someone that fills a pretty big role and they are under contract for two plus years it wouldn't make sense. I don't see who that guy would be right now.

It would be inconsistent and terribly mistimed. 1st round picks are so valuable now because contract value to cap ratio is so good if you get a player. I just think it'd be wildly inconsistent to sit out FA last year and not make win now trades because we are focused on building and development. It would be paying a high price for something we could have had at a value and would tell me we don't know what the hell we are doing.

And that's why trading Hayward makes so much sense. Utah traded DWill and got a great young player in Favors + picks. Hood at a rookie contract is much more valuable than Hayward at $30M/per. Hayward has great value right now. The team acquiring him will get his Bird rights and can re-sign him. Let THEM overpay. Meanwhile, Utah gets some very good assets in return.

It's not that I don't like Gordon. I do. I'd like him to stay with Utah. But not at $30M/per. That will mean in '18/'19 one (or two) of the other other projected core members (Gobert, Favors, Hood and Exum) will need to go. Burks is gone, regardless. And it also means having the same kind of bench Utah has now: bargain basement vets, young guys on their rookie contracts and some DLeaguers.

Anyne else projected to go around that range. https://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2016/

I think I'm leaning towards Wayne Baldwin. He really fits the Jazz mold of what they have been wanting. Big PG with insane length who can probably guard 2-guards. Athletic, can shoot, and can make plays. He would be a much better backup than Neto/Mack and would offer us some insurance for Exum if he never pans out.

I'd be down for Baldwin. He's got crazy length, can shoot, and gets to the FT line.
 
Who seems to have the best court balance? Rumor has it that DL wants to make this team competitive with Ballet West.
I hear the pre-season schedule will now include a Swan Lake dance-off (well, renamed "Salt Lake", "Dancing with the Starzz" or "All That Jazz."). Those are the three working titles I've heard. They're still working through copyright issues on the latter two.
 
Unfortunately, it's starting to look more like a 10-12 pick than a 15 at this point. Maybe we get Peoltl from Utah and a guard in free-agency or from a trade (Whithey, Booker, Trey, Alec, cap space, draft picks).
