I disagree completely. NBA teams are not overly concerned about Embiid's back. He's having spasms.. that's all. I can't get into the meat of this issue (sworn to not discuss publicly), but teams know the sitting out of games was ... precautionary (and not against being further hurt).

That's good to know. Then it probably isn't a concern. Real back troubles have ended many careers.
 
.. and archaeologists will soon find proof of pre-spanish horse bones in North America.

umm....

Scientists have found the first definitive proof that early humans in North America hunted horses for their meat.

Indigenous modern horses died out in the New World at the end of the Pleistocene, about 12,000 years ago, and thus were absent until the Spanish brought domestic horses from Europe, beginning in 1493. Escaped horses quickly established large wild herds. In the 1760s, the early naturalist Buffon suggested this was an indication of inferiority of the New World fauna, but later reconsidered this idea.[2] William Clark's 1807 expedition to Big Bone Lick found "leg and foot bones of the Horses", which were included with other fossils sent to Thomas Jefferson and evaluated by the anatomist Caspar Wistar, but neither commented on the significance of this find.[3]

Rookie contracts last 4 years. After that you can offer your pick a max contract that's 5 years long. Even if it's someone else he signs that max contract with, we can match.

4 + 5 = 9

#math

Assuming he is a max player. A guy that we have seen literally nothing from other than highlights of him playing with a bunch of pimple faced white Aussies. A little premature I thinks.
 
My Big board:

1. Wiggins
2. Jabari
3. Exum
4. Embiid (drops due to back concern)
5. Randle
6. Gordon
7. Volley
8. Ennis
8a. Smart

I'm not saying he's a max player (who knows?), I'm just saying that if him leaving for LA would be THAT much to bitch about, then it's because he's a max player. In which case we would have him 9 years.

NBAdraft.net could be run by my mother-in-law and it would be more informed than currently constituted. (to be fair, she's a Timberwolves scout)

You talking animal Timberwolves rite?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Cyrone Torbin again.

This a one day story.

Until it's the championship day of the Jazz. Then it's the story all over again and again and again.
But I see what you was doing there ;)

I wonder if the jazz might appeal to some of these top of the draft guys simply because they aren't the bucks

haha. possible. Also players with gambling addiction

Any PF or C we draft---Parker, Randle, Embiid--is going to create a log-jam in our front court....to the point that someone's going to get disgruntled.

Not disgruntled...TRADED
 
Two scenarios

DL really really wants a stretch 4. We draft embiid or randle and , kanter or gobert are traded. We draft Parker they all stay and we have our front court for the next decade

.. and Parker is the only true stretch 4 of that group. Kanter being the next most applicable is a FAR distance from being perimeter adept as Jabari.
