Who's your pick at #5, Sir Yamers?
 
So things we need to happen.

1. Randle, Exum, Vonleh have monster workouts and mil, philly, magic fall in love with one of them.
2. one of the top 4 falls to us/we can trade for them.
3.????
4. Championships!!!
5. Profit.
 
smokescreen alert
I've heard JP will not play in NBA due to his mission responsibilities overseas for the upcoming 3 years.
What a waste.

Agreed. If all the hype about this draft is true, why would any of the teams in front of us give the chance to get that franchise player? i don't see it.
 
What's interesting is the Jazz could put together a Chris Webber type draft day trade if they want to. This is what the trade looked like:

" In 1993, the Orlando Magic traded the rights to Chris Webber to Golden State for the rights to Anfernee Hardaway and three future first-round draft choices."

The Jazz could do just as good.

I would also note that no current players were traded by either team. I'm not saying that Jazz shouldn't offer a player up I'm just saying that have accumulated a lot of future assets. Players don't necessarily need to be traded.

People who would shy away from Parker for his lack of defense, are those who would have chose Jonny Flynn over Curry.
 
God, I hope the Jazz don't get Parker. You won't be able to criticize him at all. Sorry folks Parker isn't perfect and there is very little chance he is coming to Utah except with a road team.

Doesn't Jabari weigh like 400 lbs by now? It's hilarious how down people are on this dude. He is simply the best NBA-ready player in the draft. He is gonna kill it in the NBA. If we get him, we should be dancing in the streets.

What kind of dancing? Two step? Poplock? Twerk?

If possible I would do --> #5, #23, #35, GS 2017 pick. for Jabari. Keep our core guys, add Jabari, pay who is worth paying after seeing next year with a good coach.

That would be a decent offer. Still keep first-round pick next year because it's likely a lottery pick. It will take couple of seasons to make the playoffs in the WC. If they want next year's, maybe put some protection on it (top 5?) just in case Utah either wins on the lottery or has significant injuries.

Yeah it's a decent offer, if we did this then the 76ers would have like 10 draft picks in this draft. They'd probably want future picks. I'd just rather not trade one of our guys. Once they finally started together they looked pretty good. Kanter looked a lot better as the season was ending and burks looked like he still has a lot more to offer.
 
I'm not sure if this has been posted, but here. Jabari looking smooth... Chad ford said that he looked winded after the workouts like embiid FYI.

He's got a nice soft touch on that jumper.

Haha

He is gonna be so damn good.

It's amazing that there are people on this board who are down on him. I don't know Wtf they are watching.

It's almost like some people just don't want to see it because he is Mormon.
