Bill Simmons: Prediction No. 1: Utah tries like hell to trade up for Jabari Parker.

somebody said:
I think we should trade Golden State's 2017 unprotected pick.

Why? Because, I'm now convinced that lottery picks 1 through 8 are reserved for teams that are competitively tanking. If you're terrible but not intentionally so, then you're looking at the 9th pick. And the lottery odds for the 9th pick suck (unless you're Cleveland).

I say we use it to trade up.

Could even draw it up so that Philly (or whoever were proposing to) gets the better of our 2017 or Golden States 2017.

Thats a great idea. I would think about putting top 3 protection on it, but I think both the Jazz and Warriors will at least be in the playoff conversation at that point.

I think this is dumb to be thinking we can get protection on our picks if we are trying to trade up.

Not happening. We would be lucky to get one of these teams to budge with no protection.

Yeah Jabari is a dead lock to go number 1. So young.. yet so much star prowess oozing from him.

I find it bizarre especially in this draft where there's no real clear cut guy to pick either.

I have my opinions on moving up (I would sell the farm for Wiggins, half the farm for Parker or Embid), and on the guys projected (want Smart but like everyone else to a degree after him, and see all their weaknesses). I just don't think there are any clear cut right answers in this draft, but a lot of good gambles.

The best thing DL can do now is act super high on Vonleh. He already bested everyones expectations at the combine. The second part to the equation is workouts. Leak that he had a glowing workout in Utah and we are quite confident in him. Give Milwaukee or Philly a call on draft night with a sizable package, but not the farm. If it happens it happens.
 
This is not an Undecided draft. Embiid is by far the clear #1 pick. IF you have watched any college basketball or any Scouting Videos and still cant come to the conclusion that Embiid is the clear #1 pick then you are pretty much a casual fan. Anybody with a lick of BBall knowledge knows that Embiid is a once in a lifetime Center prospect.

Lol I have seen Embiid, Wiggins and Parker all going first according to people who do Bball for a living. Not clear cut at all.

I don't respect opinions when a persons main argument is that the Jazz only want Parker because he's mormon.

I'm not saying you have to respect everyone or every opinion, if you would read again, I've complained that some people here can't tolerate any different opinions.

I too don't think the mormon connection thing carries any weight, fwiw.
