Following potential 2015 draftees

Phil Jackson loves playing mindgames. He could be hyping Kaminsky to get a team to take him with the aim of extorting the Knicks. At which point, Jackson just laughs, takes Lyles and says, "Good luck with Kaminsky."

Kings President Vlade Divac, when asked about team needs heading into the Draft, said they may do something before draft that changes needs
 
my hope is that the Jazz get Myles Turner and give up no assets to get him. Would love if he'd slip to #12. Let Kaminsky, Booker and Oubre rise into the top 11 picks. I'd love a chance to add a kid like Turner to the big rotation. Think he'd be a great fit.

Jackson goes through life treating everyone and everything with a disgusting amount of contempt. He could be spreading rumors just to laugh as the NY media responds.

“I watch LeBron James, for example,” he said. “He might [travel] every other time he catches the basketball if he’s off the ball. He catches the ball, moves both his feet. You see it happen all the time. There’s no structure, there’s no discipline, there’s no ‘How do we play this game’ type of attitude. And it goes all the way through the game. To the point where now guys don’t screen—they push guys off with their hands.”

He concluded: “It struck me: How can we get so far away from the real truth of what we’re trying to do? And if you give people structure, just like a jazz musician—he’s gotta learn melody, and he’s gotta learn the basic parts of music—and then he can learn how to improvise. And that’s basically what team play is all about.”

I really have no idea what's going to happen. Perrin and Lindsey are so good at not leaking anything. Some people say Utah loves some players, then another writer or radio person says they don't. I've heard Utah likes Hezonja, and Andy Larsen said on his last podcast that they don't like Hezonja (He does this pretty often, saying that his "sources" tell him something and then doesn't expand on it). There's been so much talk about Utah not moving up, that it makes me think they are going to move up. Or is that what they want me to think... Can't wait until Thursday :)
 
“That is not happening,” Divac said forcefully, “but I would love to do something, a smaller move, before the draft. We have a lot of changes to make. The league is much more up-tempo now, and we need more three-point shooting. If we don’t get that in the draft, we’ll be active in free agency and see about making trades later in the offseason.

He's not wrong, but he sure wasn't conplaining when Jordan, Shaq, and Kobe were allowed to travel all over the court.

And the last two champions have been dynamic at moving the ball around and playing good offense. He sounds a little bitter.
