Jeff Taylor, SF out of Vanderbilt sounds like a solid, all-around player. Maybe in the discussion at 12? https://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jeff-Taylor-1351/ Jackson sounds like a good possibility at 12. Is anyone still liking Honeycutt out of UCLA? I am hoping that the Jazz move up with...

I apologize if this has been brought up in a trade, but I thought it was worth discussion. From ESPN chat today: Ric Bucher (2:28 PM) It's not a matter of what a team is offering. It's a matter of where a guy wants to go. Melo proved that. Sure, Utah shipped off Deron -- but trust me...

Has anyone seen Denver's cap situation? They are in a great position to re-sign all of their (potential) free agents. Isn't it likely that Denver will just exercise the QO on Afflalo? https://www.shamsports.com/content/pages/data/salaries/nuggets.jsp

With player cap holds, the cap likely going down (or at least being harder to go over), potentially re-signing AK and possibility of there being no MLE, it seems like there may not be a way to bring these players in outside of a trade.

Ever think that was part of the reason they did this trade? By trading Deron, the Jazz save money this year and potentially the next two years (if Deron exercises his option year) when the salary cap is expected to go down and it will likely be harder (higher luxury tax?) to exceed the cap...

Interesting stories out there: https://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/mavericks/post/_/id/4674832/mavs-coveted-harris-as-future-chip-for-williams Ryen Russillo chat today: Did the Jazz do any damage by Deron finding out about the trade on Sportcenter while he was in the Jazz gym? Ryen...

Dumping salary doesn't really do much good since the team would likely receive longer contracts in return, which, if you look at the Jazz' payroll for next season, is not a good idea. I would suggest that everyone check out this link before making suggestions on what the Jazz need to do with...

You are right, the Jazz were better last year, but do you really think that the FO planned on: Okur being out so much this year, losing Matthews, Korver and Boozer as well as Sloan stepping down? It has kind of been a perfect storm that has really hampered this season. Do you really think that...

I guess we differ on opinion, but I don't think people in the know would be saying that some players are considering staying in school if there weren't players considering staying in school. In addition, many who cover the draft are expecting this to be a relatively weak draft to begin with.

This is so absolutely true. I wish more people here would realize this when they talk about wanting to be in the lottery this year. We need to make the playoffs THIS YEAR, so we can have a 1st round pick in a stocked draft next year.

I thought this would be pretty good from the Jazz' perspective, even though it means not giving Al much of a chance with the Jazz. Jazz Receive: Jeff Green, Kirk Hinrich, Anthony Randolph Jazz Send: Al Jefferson Read more...

LBJ was traded to Miami even after he ripped the heart of of Cleveland. It's only a matter of what the Jazz are willing to give up.

I was kind of hoping that the Jazz would get him in the second round. Maybe he can be this year's version of Matthews. Who is he playing for in Summer League?

I still think trying to pry Fernandez and Mills away from Portland would be one of the best ways to go.

It has been somewhat discussed earlier in this thread, but is there any reason Portland would agree to send us Rudy and Mills for TPEs if we agree to not match for Matthews? I think with those two, Fes, Evans and not bringing back Gaines or Jeffers, we would have 13 players. This is a team a few...

There are a few centers that intrigue me, but I think who the Jazz bring in depends on how they want to approach this season. 1) Win Now: Gortat is probably the only 5 (at a reasonable salary) that could be had and come in and make a significant difference. However, he is unproven and his...

I think that the plan is to win as much as possible every year without sacrificing too many future wins, while spending as little as possible. It sounds like a lame line that the FO would use publicly, but after hearing Rigby on the radio the other day, it would not surprise me if this was their...
