Following potential 2015 draftees

Let me pose a question for us guys. Lets say we get pick 7. If we have the chance to get into top 3 by trading the package of (#7, OKC 2017, GS2017), do we do it? Do you think any team would take that trade?

Been thinking this and have posted in a couple of the threads... We go all in is my opinion. We have good young players or prospects at every position. I love D' Angelo and think he'd be exactly what we need. I'd send those picks plus Burke, Hood, and just about anything not named Hayward, Gobert, Favors, and Exum. I think a team would bite, but you will have to overpay to move into that top tier and most of Jazzfanz will think we got fleeced.

Teams have learned their lesson on trading down out of those top spots... would take a godfather offer, but I think we have the assets and it would make sense to do so.
 
I think I might be crazy, but if it takes #7, our pick next year, and the other two first rounders I would do it. I think Russell is the best player in this draft and he would add a ton of exactly what we need. Mudiay might be good, but I'd rather not do the mystery man thing again... I'm tired.

Was this Russell mix posted yet?

I see why everyone likes this guy, between him and Mudiay I'd be ecstatic with either.

Edit: but Russell looks to be one of those "faces" of the NBA. His personality is nice too, I like his swag, the way he makes those plays look easy. he won't get away with those effortless passes or layups in the league though.

Me too, I'd do that in a heart beat.


But the problem is the worst teams currently in the standings are NY, Philly, and Lakers. All of which do not currently have a star PG. (Translation: It's unlikely they'll pass on Russell or Mudiay).
 
If the Jazz lose more due to the trade, then we can think of the trade as more along the lines of Kanter for a first, a second, Tibor and the other guy, and the right to move up a spot or two. Which is a pretty good haul. The only problem is you won't know if moving Kanter had any bearing on our draft position. So I'll just choose to believe it!

Yes, we absolutely do it. I doubt other teams would. I'd throw in Burks too.

I also doubt anyone trades out of the top3 or 4, depending on how teams value Mudiay and Towns. I think Booker is a keeper and we have Burks coming back. Bigs are awfully expensive and hard to sign as FA's. I'm back on the WCS bandwagon if we finish in that 8-10 range.
 
Could you imagine the defense this Jazz team would play with Oubre on the wing instead of Ingles? Oubre is like the Derrick Favors of small forwards. All the tools!!

Johnson's floor to me is Jimmer Butler lite.



Imagine Gobert, Favors, and Johnson in the lineup. That's a GREAT defensive lineup. Fierce and Tenacious.

Defensive wall right there. Not to mention Exum/Hayward in the back court. That would be the biggest starting lineup in the league (though, I doubt Johnson would start right away).

I know you love Hezonja, but Johnson is such a safe pick because of his defensive ability wouldn't you say? His offense also seems to be coming around as well plus he is more physical than Hezonja and physicality we all know is what you need to succeed in the NBA. (except may be Steph Curry)

I've pimped both and would be happy with either. If the Jazz had their choice between the two, I'd be good with which ever they chose tbh.

What could tip the scale for Hezonja is his shooting ability... Gobert/Favors/Exum aren't great shooters... so he would make our team a lot more balanced offensively.


Johnson is shooting 37.7% from 3's for the year but it does make you wonder if he can keep that up.

I think Johnson will be a good shooter. Hezonja looks like he has a chance to be a great shooter.
