JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

[Crawlnstall]

Is anyone out there getting a feeling that we won't be drafting a PG in this draft?

well we have needs at every position other than sg.... so wouldn't be surprised, and wouldn't necessarily be disappointed if we didn't

Are there any rumors in this thread?

sadly no

cool thanks for your input. I do agree it'll be a big reach at #21.

Jazz were reported to have made inquiries about grabbing some 2nd round picks, may be they could plan on using one of them on green/wolters/canaan.

We'll say.

link?

CJ McCollum very impressive. Told one of the three teams outside the top 10 trying to trade up for him (Utah, Phily, Port).

Andy Katz ‏@ESPNAndyKatz
Feeling among Adams camp is best chance is with Portland, Philadelphia, OKC or Utah. That's 10, 11, 12, 14.

I definitely have a feeling the Jazz are trying to package #14, #21 for #7, maybe they have already agreed on it and are just waiting until draft day?

Jazz could take Tim Hardaway Jr. at #14 and Tony Snell at #21 (the two guys Sacramento likes a lot), Kings take McCollum at #7, then the two teams just swap players?

Even Shooting Guard could be a need, as Hayward can slide to the 3 if needed. I would say that the need is just a wing, not necessarily a 2 or 3. Needs Everywhere!!!

Here's one to blow your mind:

Jody Genessy @DJJazzyJody about 43 minutes ago

Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey said the team has had conversations about moving up, moving down and moving out of Thursday's draft.

I can't control my hormones ATM.

I bet we keep the other two picks and trade Burks and a future pick or our second rounder for a pick that lands us a PG. McCollum or Burke are my gut feeling, as I don't think the Jazz like any of the other top PG's, and Schroeder looks like he could probably be had at 21.

Yep. They have a man crush, and his name is CJ.

Kind of a let down tomorrow if we come away with only McCollum.

Now if it was "just" Burke or Porter...

Here's some on a guy that was once highly coveted here:

Andrew Perna ‏@Andrew_Perna 3h

#Pelicans are making Eric Gordon "very available," according to source. Demps wouldn't promise he'd be back after season.

Andrew Perna ‏@Andrew_Perna 3h

Gordon signed a four-year, $58M deal with #Pelicans last summer. Deal was a matched offer sheet from #Suns. Gordon badly wanted PHX.

Andrew Perna ‏@Andrew_Perna 3h

Moving Gordon's contract won't be easy given the remainder and his injury past. He played just 42 games this season.

This guy writes for Real GM and doesn't seem to have any other credentials.

Burke would be in play too, but he didn't want to work out with the Jazz. Only top point guard in the draft not too, what a douche.

Burke and Porter would complete an awesome starting 5 for the next like decade...

If Dennis O'Lindsner could pull something like that, they would be executives of the year.

Let's be reasonable here-- Utah has the 14th pick. His agent likely designated his work-outs much earlier, and Jazz were not involved in moving-up talk by any stretch of the imagination

The Timberwolves are being very aggressive trying to move up to the top five, contacting everyone offering DW2, #9 and #26. I wonder if they're really in love with players there or really unimpressed with everyone available at nine. If the latter, trading 14 n 21 is close to fair value for 9 n 26.

It's Burke OR Porter, not both.

They really want Oladipo or McLemore, but would settle for KCP if they can't move up.
