2021 NBA Draft Preview (new thread)

I got a ticket to the SLC Summer League next week. Looking forward to seeing Butler.

So now that we didn't move any players, how do we shed salary to re-sign Conley?

Trade Favors and those future 2nd’s we just got lol. Maybe Ryan is cool with not shedding any and going all the way in for one year.

Leading up to this whole thing, all this Butler talk felt like a huge waste of time. Didn't seem like there was anyway he was going to fall. We got him at 40 and picked up picks along the way.

This is getting to the only gas station for 50 miles with your fuel light on. We needed this desperately.

Desmond Bane? Lmao we wish we had Bane right now.

Nah he’s referring to Shaq… but Bane was my guy in the draft last year.

Desmond Bane? Lmao we wish we had Bane right now.

Already forgotten? Shaq H.

 

[Bodhi]

Am I high or is Isaiah Todd still avail?

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Jared Butler, IMO, is the Desmond Bane of this draft.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Am I high or is Isaiah Todd still avail?

He got picked #31.

 

[Rubashov]

**** it. Let’s buy a pick and get someone else too!!!

You sound like a ****ing drunk in Atlantic City

*chanting* BUY A PICK! BUY A PICK!

You can draft prospect but not FA prospect. Who cares as long as you can nail draft picks.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I was actually okay with drafting Butler last year before he dropped out.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Now the elephant in the room about our salary situation.

 

[Ineptimusprime]

Me to Jazz FO.

 

[Bodhi]

Also, who's hyped for the hokey puff piece from one of our media guys about "Jared was informed he can't have #12, because a certain Jazz legend has it hanging in the rafters *hardy har har* nudge nudge nudge"

 

[NAOS]

So now that we didn't move any players, how do we shed salary to re-sign Conley?

This.

 

[Miggs]

You sound like a ****ing drunk in Atlantic City

Those days are way behind me.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

You can draft prospect but not FA prospect. Who cares as long as you can nail draft picks.

I’m solid on FA additions… Caruso was a dude I wanted once upon a time. This one isn’t hard. Just watch Butler. If he’s healthy he’s a rotation player. All the off court stuff is A+. Dudes gonna be awesome.

Butler enrolled at Alabama, but did not participate in the team's summer workouts and requested an unconditional release from his letter of intent in order to transfer to Baylor University.[6] Alabama released him from his commitment in August.[7] A scholarship had opened up at Baylor due to the early retirement of Jake Lindsey.[1]

Butler got to Baylor because of the early retirement of Jake Lindsey, who happen to be DL's son.
