I also think we have at least one trade early in the week… with Beal… there might be a couple others.
I dunno I feel like if say he comes to us and had a fantastic day shooting, then you’re not gonna wanna show that cos then other teams would be in the know too.
Then who’s leaking that he’s having great workouts and why are they leaking it?
Well as with all best intentions, they don’t always work out the way you wanted it to sometimes.
In all honesty, if they’re going to open up the bank for Kyrie, they should call Toronto about OG or Siakam and just screw up their cap for the next several years. Go get a big 3 when everyone else is trying to shed contracts. Pay the tax and hope that’s enough to keep Luka happy.
Jazz were really quiet leading up to this point. I know DA keeps things close to the vest, but I truly have no idea who the Jazz are going to take. Just hope I like them. . .
I had this thought yesterday while watching his scouting video, but he plays a lot like Tony Parker. If he can use it as a weapon like Parker would you still hate that? Now I’m not say he’s Tony Parker or anything but that wouldn’t be so bad… so long as he’s efficient.
If I was his camp, knowing it is the biggest knock on the guy I am rep'n going forward, I would pump as much smoke into the atmosphere as possible, to get someone,anyone, to think maybe they missed something if he didn't work out for them and they are going on only college stats as a shooter on low attempts. I also might pump up his value if I was the Jazz and Danny Ainge hoping some org out of the loop decides to try to trade up, leaving the guy we really wanted there for us at 9 or if he slides to 9 give us trade down power etc.
If he is the bpa they might. He could have more trade value a month later than anyone else they could draft at that point. But yeah Dallas is most likely trading down to pick up a cheap young big . I expect they could move back a couple picks to do just that.
Nobody they pick at 10 is going to help them much as a rookie unless they overpick them, and there is a significant chance they just trade down to late lottery or 6 spots to get some type of front court help on the cheap like Precious from the Raps or maybe Larry Nance Jr from NOP and then draft a older prospect.
