A trade is brewing...

It still yet to be revealed where that "ending point that they want to get to " is. It could be dumping Hayward and the 23 to get a higher pick. It could be swapping the 23 pick for Eric Gordon. Nobody knows.

Lindsey has talked a lot and spent a lot of money on scouting and New staff, but nobody knows what his plan is or what he is capable of. He was able to fleece minny last draft, was that luck, coincidence, or brilliance?

The only clue he has given has been that the Jazz will not skip steps in rebuilding....what does that mean? How many steps are there? How many seasons to take a step?

"Because there’s so much potential talent in this draft, the draft picks will be very valuable commodities," Lindsey said. "Maybe we just use it in a different way to get to the ending point that we want to get to."

You can book it. The Jazz will not be keeping their #23 pick.

I didn't get that they were going to trade the pick from that article. Actually it sounded like they are keeping their options open to what is available in the draft.

Can we trade him?
 
I think he's just speculating, like any GM with multiple assets would do. Personally, I think we will do anything within reason to get to Wiggins. Bundling picks and/or one of our young guys.
 
I think we should wait until we know the draft order.

Then, we should chill out until the workouts. I want to know about Embiid's back, Parker's fat, and Exum's potential before we freak out with speculation.
 
We trade #23 and a future second-round pick for Mo Harkless. Maybe we have to take a contract instead of giving the second rounder.

Next, trade Trey and next years top10-protected first for the rights to Marcus Smart.

And, of course, we gettin Wiggin with our pick this year.

We become a top10 defensive team, at last.
 
The "veteran" talk is quickly shot down once you ask people to start naming names. There are players in this draft that could be all stars at 23. I'm not trading it for someone like Thaddeus Young.

Love the hate, franklin.

Just my theory...no different than anyone else posting their opinions for discussion.
I just look at the roster and see a need to have some GOOD veterans on the team. If they keep all their picks and bring over Neto, Jazz would have 10 players under 24 yrs old. Hayward, if he returns, would be the "grizzled, old vet" at 25.

Perhaps just wishful thinking on my part that DL will find an established GOOD starter that a rebuilding team wants to trade for assets.

Anyone think we could get the Lakers pick? It mentions that they want a mid to late 1st rounder. Would you want their pick?

What can the lakers offer anybody? A few trophies? A few vintage Afro mamba signed cards?

That roster is garbage and they're in salary cap hell.

They put all their stock in vets and it came back to bite them. They have a longer and more painful rebuild ahead than most people think. Kobe won't sniff the playoffs in the purple and gold again.
