What's new

Following potential 2014 draftees

I'd trade Favors, but not Kanter (we already have Gobert waiting as a true defensive Center). I've been saying this for a while now, trade Favors for the chance at Andrew Harrison.


But I doubt the Lakers would bite on Favors.

trade Favors for the chance at Andrew Harrison

Really? Just let that sink in for a moment
 
I'm not giving up on Harrison yet, but he definitely hasn't looked good to start the season. Not good at all.

PG is the most difficult position to learn in a new team/offense/system. I'm definitely not giving up on him. The potential is there - but you can tell he's still learning the offense, getting the feel for his teammates, etc.
 
You no like?

For a chance at Andrew Harrison? Not really. He might turn out to be great, I'll admit I'm completely unfamiliar with him besides watching Tuesday's game, but the Jazz just picked up Burke last year. Plus, where would trading Favors leave the Jazz in the frontcourt? Starting Gobert? Don't get me wrong I'm a big Gobert fan. He is more than adequate for a late first-round pick and has lots of potential, but would you really want to have him playing huge minutes? He's awesome at protecting the hoop, but no one needs to defend him at this point.

But mainly I just think Burke is way better than Harrison

May be he is right now, but I think Harrison has a much higher ceiling though.

Definitely. There is no doubt he has a higher ceiling due to his physical attributes. He could become an all-NBA pg for all we know. But Burke is not maybe better than him now, he is.
And it's not like Burke's ceiling is incredibly low. Chris Paul is arguably the best point guard on the planet all while being one of the least athletic point guards.

Paul is lightning quick when he needed to be though... which goes some ways in negating his small stature. Something I've yet to see from Burke.
 
UK players talking about Julius Randle.

And to all the HATERS out there thinking I've been living in LaLa Land over the past week saying Randle can play the SF position - have a listen to Marcus Lee at 0.47min who said "He's a really great player, I honestly think he may be the next LeBron James".

Any question please direct them at PKM or Marcus himself.

TIA.

Hopefully we don't have to. We will have to see where we are around January.

Example we drop to 29th or 28th worst. Lakers are sitting at 8th.

We trade Kanter biedrins and jefferson for Nash and their unprotected first rounder a second round pick and some futures.(ps I didn't look up numbers so i don't know if salaries match but you get the idea)

Would only work if the Jazz took back Gasol.
 
100% chance of top 4

Honestly 1 win vs a team that's top3 worst coached teams in the league doesn't make the Jazz playoff contender. Right now the Jazz are the worst team in the league by quite a big margin. And that has 3 reasons:
1) Burke injury
2) Bigs playing inconsistent
3) No bench(That may change though with injured guys returning)
 
Sunday at 5mst on ESPN2.. the re-match of UK's most embarrassing loss in 20 years.

UK vs. Robert Morris

whoyagot?

I think it is more his ability to change speeds, handle exceptionally, and make the correct decision quickly that makes this seem so
