This is strange and does perhaps indicate that something more is afoot. What it really comes down to is this kid needs these Summer League minutes and they need to figure out how to get him on the court for Monday night versus the Cs. Plus, I just want to see him play.

I think he's terrific for this young team. I've been a fan of his since early last season, for all of the reasons you mentioned. I do think we should hold onto him at LEAST through this season, until we can see what Trey Lyles becomes. But, frankly, we should hold onto him for even longer, if...

I agree with only this scenario. Otherwise, we're all set. Besides, someone is going to overpay him.

To me, this indicates that the Jazz are doing their due diligence in assessing where Neto stands and whether he's coming over this year or not, which is important to do at least once annually -- regardless of what his answer is. Especially given the Tomic situation. Whether he's willing to come...

MJ needs to see how many awful decisions he's made with his GM hat on and let Rich Cho do his job unencumbered. There's a chance that's already happening (who really knows?) but I wonder if his titanic ego would ever make that possible. When will owners let their people do their jobs? I mean...

The more I think about our draft choices this year, the more I think it's all about versatility. It appears to me that DL and other string pullers in the Jazz Brass want guys who can regularly play multiple positions, in order for Quin to be able to play chess in-game more effectively, based on...

Don't we already have one of those, whose name is Jack Cooley? I just think we could use an upgrade. I do hope bringing Pleiss over this summer before Summer League is in the cards. Also, Bentley, I hear ya brother. Pretty much my sentiments exactly.

Solid points by many who've responded. I do see the value that Lyles brings to the team. It seems like the arc of the NBA right now is versatility, not small ball per se. Small ball is just a trend. Lyles does appear to bring versatility, which is why he'll be a good fit on the Jazz. I did...

I never said DL is an idiot. In fact, I mentioned that I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until the free agency dust settles. I do feel we have the two holes in the roster that I mentioned. Should Hayward's legs give out on him on the eve of what will likely be a playoff berth next year...

It's mostly what we didn't get that bothers me. We still need a legit backup center behind Gobert. And we still need a legit 3/4 behind Hayward, unless the plan is to use a combo of Burks, Hood, and Hayward at the 2/3, which I guess would be fine, barring injury. *knock on wood* Doesn't look...

It's really as simple as this: We don't need a power forward. We need a true center with a shooting touch to back up Rudy and a 3/4 with length and speed to back up Hayward. And yes, in this situation, where it appears the Jazz are trying to actually make some kind of run this coming season, you...

I am extremely UNDERWHELMED. His scouting report is that he doesn't do any one thing particularly well. Nice.

You've assumed too much Tony. The focus of this team appears to be developing the young talent that we have and putting ourselves in the best possible position to sign as much of this young core to extensions as possible. There's no need to bring a coach killer with chronic injuries in here on a...

As much as I very publicly was all about Jimmer around the time of his draft, I came to realize just over his time with the Kings that he has no hope of ever getting serious NBA minutes. My belief around that draft was that he could work on his defense, given how driven he appeared to be. But...

Excellent original post. Good comparables.

Aren't these all rules?

Losing Favors would defeat much of the purpose. Kris isn't elite defensively but seems to be competent. He needs to be part of a 3-big rotation where he can be a stretch big who can rely on the other big to bail him out from time to time till he gets better defensively. A.k.a. We still need...

If 1, 2, 3 is Towns, Okafor, and Russell, and NYK is actually in the market for a trade... Utah trades: Trey Burke, Alec Burks, #12, 2016 First Rounder New York trades: #4, with which the Jazz take Kristaps Porzingis. The more I see this kid, the more I like what he already is and what...

I believe Cotton has backup PG talent. That's why I say Trey is expendable. Have Cotton as your primary backup and get a third stringer who doesn't play. Cotton needs and deserves minutes. He'll excel.

Thanks for the post, Red. Didn't know there were other Jazz fans out my way.
