    Off The Court Chat w/ Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Noah Vonleh & Gary Harris

    After watching the entire thing, I can't help but think of Dukie from The Wire when I see Noah's demeanor.

    Off The Court Chat w/ Aaron Gordon, Marcus Smart, Noah Vonleh & Gary Harris

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJjCtJ3eRX8 Roundtable discussion with Rick Fox from yesterday. I'm liking Gordon the more I see the way he carries himself.

    Following potential 2014 draftees

    I am feeling the same way. Forgive my ignorance since I haven't followed Randle extensively, but what does he bring to the table over Kanter?

    Lebron and Mello to the Jazz?

    Not sure if trolling... There is no way in hell that either of those players would even think about coming to Utah.

    Report: #5, Favors, Burks for Cavs' #1 pick

    Thursday afternoon can't come soon enough. I just want it to be over already.

    Cavs not interested any longer?

    I agree, but I think that second lottery pick is what analysts are thinking is the sweetener they like. Although I would think Cleveland, like the Jazz have an overabundance of youth on the team and should find some players with some experience and skill.

    #1 Pick to Utah?

    I know it's probably all a smokescreen to try and pry more from the Jazz or other teams, but here is the latest on Cleveland and the #1 pick: "Of the offers they've received, a source says the Cavs aren't enamored by either the Sixers' offer (Thaddeus Young and the No. 3 pick) nor the Jazz's...

    #1 Pick to Utah?

    As much as I want a deal to be done to move up and get Wiggins and to a lesser extent Parker, I just don't see Cleveland being willing to do so with what we have to offer. As much as I like Favors and Burks, are they even coupled with the 5th pick enough to sway the Cavs when the consensus is...

    Following potential 2014 draftees

    I just listened to Bill Simmons BS Report with Chad Ford today and they talked pretty extensively about MCW. It seemed that they feel like MCW's age coupled with the perception he overachieved a bit as a rookie in chasing the rookie of the year award has his stock really high. So they want to...

    #1 Pick to Utah?

    I am curious if this trade occurs if it is contingent on who takes Embiid because Philly will clearly win that. I think the Jazz have better assets to offer though.

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    Is that how ncoloradojazz talks? I've had him on ignore for the last couple of years.

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    That's some interesting insight. If true, and he shoots better it changes a lot.

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    It's interesting that you bring up P&R because Locke and the guest he had on for the podcast he posted today both mentioned that Smart is exceptional in the P&R from the film they saw and that it was that Oklahoma State just didn't run it very much. I don't know if that is true or not, but I...

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    That's a good point. If that turns out to be the case, then things will be better than anticipated. I guess my expectations were just set too high after such a dismal season. Screw the Cavs and their ridiculous lottery luck!

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    I think the only rationale would be you'd have Favors as an insurance policy in the event that Embiid ends up not being able to play long term due to injuries. It seems like a stretch though.

    Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

    I'm sure it's just the nature of this time of year and how potential draftees are picked apart by "experts", but I am finding myself a bit underwhelmed with the options at 5. It just seems like tanking this past season didn't really leave us with an option that will improve the team in a...

    Aaron Gordon was in SLC today....

    I was just pondering this. He is really great at so many other things, why isn't his shot better with all the work he puts in? I am hoping that if the Jazz do draft him they can find someone to improve his shooting.

    Aaron Gordon was in SLC today....

    It's interesting to me that the Jazz FO is being so tight-lipped about Gordon having a second workout. Even Locke won't acknowledge it.

    Jalen Rose Thinks The Jazz Should Trade Down And Take Gary Harris

    I think he's pretty entertaining with Simmons, but his analysis is pretty awful a lot of the time.

    Jalen Rose Thinks The Jazz Should Trade Down And Take Gary Harris

    I generally like Simmons' podcasts, but these two are insane with their picks this time. Their comments on Corbin are great though. EDIT: It was Simmons who said the Jazz said they should trade down if they take Harris, but it was Rose who said they should. I wanted to set the record straight...
