I understand why you would think the front office would pass on Drummond given our glut of big men, but I know that KOC follows chad fords tier system when drafting, and Drummond was and is a player that could end up being the best in this draft so thre was no way at 8 the Jazz would have...

I am still ticked off about their epic tank job last year by GSW's, which I feel should have been fined by the league. With the 8th pick we could have easily moved up with Sac to get Lillard (preferred), or stayed where we were and taken my other favorite player Andre Drummond who I felt was...

How can we know unless we ask? Are you serious.... this is a board of hypothetical gm actions we would make and why? This statement makes me wonder if you think Lyndsay will get on the Jazz forum himself and let us know what the Wiz front office said. They turn it down. We could get Nene at...

I like this trade but we should be getting the Detroit pick that was given to Charlotte for taking on Gordon. Also... Wow, someone said "RAD"... haven't heard that in so long.

Don't believe the negative hype on Gasol. The guy in a jazz uniform would be great for 5 years . I also believe Paul is gone in the off season. I just think SA will come hard after Paul. I think Paul know that he is destined to be a back up in Utah and he will be moving on.

As a forum fan I always like new threads to old ones and I tire of forum board purests who don't want new threads created for trades or other topics , so to all those purests of you who don't like them don't comment . Its like correcting people's grammar or speech . .. nobody likes that gu...

Sad to be wishing for a Curry injury, but thats kind of where we are at. I still think the league should have fined the teams for tanking and restructure the draft so that the percentages and #'s of balls bouncing is closer after the first pick. But if we draft well we should be fine. I will...

Just finished watching the bulls clips game and the announcers mentioned it.... Bledsoe can get to the rim at will. That is what this league has become.... to some extent... which is a league dominated by playmakers. All the good teams have one: LAL-Kobe, NY-Carmello, LAC-CP3...

6'1" with a 6'7.5" wingspan

Hollinger's PER stats have been pretty reliable predictors of value and production.

Just that he was a top HS recruit playing 4th fiddle to John Wall, Demarcus Cousins, and senior Patrick Patterson and he still accomplished enough to go 18th overall. Then in his first year he started some only to see Mo Williams then Chauncey Billups and finally CP3 take over duties. Yet...

The Eric Bledsoe Countdown By: Jonathan Tjarks (Over at RealGM) Dec 07, 2012 3:06 PM EST This is a great article over at RealGM. I especially like the point about his wingspan... he is a freak athlete. No player in the NBA has made a bigger leap this season than Eric Bledsoe, the Clippers...

A couple of years ago I saw Memphis pay $9M per to Mike Conly and I thought that was crazy because he hadn't done a ton I thought to deserve that. But yet he is averaging 14.4 ppg, on 46% shooting, 44% from 3 and he could score and do more if he didn't have such a talented offensive team. He...

So much of what a GM does (and thats what we are trying to do on these forums) is forecasting what I guy will become with practice and time. Some guys have low ceilings because of their size or athleticism or shot/handle/intangibles etc. But when you have all world athleticism that can't be...

I think Bledsoe forecasts to be a very good player in the future. He seems like the kind of guy who will do whatever to improve and with his "Lil' Bron" which is his nickname athleticism, he could end up being a stud. But trust me the league is watching the CP3 thing closely.. if CP3 resigns...

Yes it is outlandish to think Kanter could be better than a "HEALTHY" Dwight Howard. They are in different stratospheres athletically. However, Kanter showed with his workout regiment this off season that he has the ability to become a max effort kind of guy, which means he will get the most...

I was just playing with that LMA stuff and all the what ifs, but this is the kind of strategizing smart teams make. They see what opportunities could potentially come about and they work things ahead of time. Sometimes what you see on the horizon as a potential situation coming available never...

Like I said, Jazz shouldn't pursue Jennings. My point is when you look at the market place you have to see the motivation for the other team. Milwakee "MIGHT COULD" be willing to get rid of their young PG, but we wouldn't want him because their reasons for letting him go are basketball related...

"Trading for Gasol means no major free agent signings" There are only two free agents next year: Chris Paul and Dwight Howard. If you believe either are coming here you are mistaken. Doing a Gasol deal is our free agency 7 months in advance. It also prevents us from settling for Al or Paul...

Couple responses to legitimate questions asked: Yes, I am still for Gasol considering his injuries. First off he has never had any serious injury and I think these may be much to do about nothing. I personally think they will be dealing him in the next few days and that is why they are...
