Am I living in some type of bizarro world where Maravich never existed?!

Anyone not voting Maravich... ummm..... umm... You do realize he was voted one of the 50 greatest players ever right?

Truth is if the guy doesn't want to compete against the best we don't want him on the team. Tough pill to swallow. Signing an upper tier free agent becomes more important.

I have a feeling we're going to get a diamond in the rough with one of our 2 round picks with our upgraded scouting dept.

With all this internal development talk by Lindsey being Quinn's strong suit, it's pretty clear we're not going to do a deal like this. If he had 2-3 years on his contract I'd consider it. Don't change what's working.

Oubre, Looney, and Kaminsky (if he tests decently)

I don't understand all the Lowry hate. Toronto would have won like 20 games without him. Starting Lineup: Amir Johnson Terrence Ross Jonas Valanciunas Kyle Lowry DeMar DeRozan Amir and Lowry are the only two I would even want on a Jazz roster.

That would be a great deal but that doesn't mean we should do it. I don't think we'll do our blockbuster trade where we cash in some of these assets happens until we are ready to contend in a couple years.

Maybe if we include our own first that's top 5 protected or something. You never know what teams will accept.

Good point. This will be the first time in Jazz history where the fans will be OK with a status quo summer. That doesn't mean we won't see some draft magic, but as far as free agents go I don't think we'll see much.

I wouldn't go that far. Maybe if we wanted to get up to 1-3 we would need Favors + 2 firsts. But for picks 5-7 you're probably looking at Burks, Burke and a first. Which I would be fine with.

I'm officially on the Winslow train. I've always liked him, but the increasing likelihood of Tomic coming over has me convinced it would be our best option to move up and get him.

Or does that make his value as an asset greater, making the jazz more likely to use him to move up in the draft?

Yes, put as little of shooting on the floor as possible is the new pattern of thinking.

Or from June!

This makes things interesting. Gobert and Tomic are both strictly 5's, so If Gobert is getting 33 or so minutes a game that only leaves 15 for someone with the stature of Tomic. Of course you want an insurance policy though. Great news regardless! Every reason to be excited for next season...

Has anyone heard anything about the 3-way tie for our second round pick? This is very important.

I'd be all over this.
