Pertaining to Jazz getting into the 1st round

Insider article so I will paraphrase:

There hasn't been much chatter about the Utah Jazz and the upcoming NBA draft, in part because they don't have a pick in the first round. However, they do have an overabundance of talent in the frontcourt (Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter), which means they at least have the ability to trade into the first round if the right deal comes along. A question about who is untouchable is asked to KOC and he gives his usual snood remarks. Saying, if Shaq and Wilt could be traded anyone could. The last part is about Milsap being traded. How he makes $8.6 million and if he isn't traded before the draft we can plan on hearing rumors about him throughout the year.

Not much but thought I would share.
 
Thanks JazzyD. Don't let these internet bullies get to you. The good guys appreciate the info .. keep it up. Rep'd!

Lol. You *******.

Sorry JazzyD. While intentions were good, your info was not useful.

my dad only plays snood on the Computer hes obsessed ha ha ha but I don't get why KOC mentioned it. all the articles before the drafts with the jazz are alway wrong Because I think the jazz and KOC mislead them or something or they are just making up Stuff saying something about sources I think.
 
I just wonder...

If we have a chance to trade Kanter + a future pick (say next year's GSW), for someone like Rondo, Curry, etc. Would KOC do it?

We can then look to keep Millsap and play him next to Favors as our future frontline. Favors being C and Millsap being the starting PF. Millsap is a known commodity. He seems happy here and he's clutch. If Favors can turn into a defensive player ala Howard - why not keep Millsap? He can hit those mid range shots, stretch the defense and Favors can serve as our pivot. Similar to Hibbert's role in Indiana.

C - Favors
PF - Millsap
SF - Hayward
SG - Burks
PG - Rondo/Curry

I think they'd need a point guard back.
 
Too much for Curry because it's unknown how many games he'll play. Rondo is intriguing. Anyone that's ever seen him play that can break down his game for me?
 
Kanter and Harris for Rondo.

I think Boston hangs up the phone... but you never know.

They're rebuilding and what better way to do that than Kanter + another pick next year. They've got 2 decent picks in the 1st this year.

It's time for them to start rebuild with the Pierece/Allen/Garnett era officially over. Rondo ain't going to stick around - so why not?

I see a win/win.
 
If we trade Kanter, what does that mean for Al?

Al has made it clear that he now plays Center and not PF.

So I think KOC sits down and talks to Al - can he play back up to Favors & Millsap pairing and take a salary cut. If not we trade him at the dateline or let him go.
 
I think it would be more like Favors and Al starting with Millsap backing up ... but I would rather trade Al and keep Kanter, though that doesn't solve our PG problem.
