Following potential 2015 draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

These trades won't happen until draft night so not sure you can climb the latter like that.

Also, Hornets will get better offers than that... Boston has been said to want to move there. I'd be willing to do 12 plus the OKC pick or our pick next year top 5 protected to get to 9 if Johnson, Hezonja, or Porz are there (WCS may fall and I don't think I'd move up for him). I think one of Porz, Hezonja, or WCS slips a bit on draft night just the way the teams are lined up. I think Detroit will take Johnson if Mario and Winslow are off the board.

Rumor has it that 8 is available... SVG mentioned he needs a backup center and a SF... wonder what we could cobble together.

Jazz would have to overpay for 9 in advance and see if the second leg materializes once the draft begins.

12 + Hood might get the Jazz to 8, but that's a tough decision if you like Hood.

Would be better to try for 9.

If Hezonja is there, would the Jazz pull the trigger though? However, Hood already proven himself that he is a good player. Hezonja, I'm not sure.

Which is why 12 plus salary and a 2nd won't get it done. I don't think Charlotte can clear much space now that Jefferson has opted in... maybe if Hendo opted out, but that decision won't come until after the draft.

I think if Porz is there I'd overpay to get him.

I wouldn't trade Hood unless we knew the foot thing was a lingering issue. Hood showed a lot when he could actually stay on the floor. He can get that pull up 20 footer seemingly whenever he wants... its not a great shot, but with 5 seconds left on the clock its great to have guys who can go get shots. Mario has some buzz but there are a couple red flags that scare me a bit.

I said in Vegas, not SLC.

You said first game, against the heat won't be their first game, even if it is in Vegas. Just saying it could be taken differently.

This is why u trade down to 16 pick up a 2017 pick. Now u have three picks in 17 and the Boston pick could be pretty good. Now the Jazz have fire power with tons of assets to do some deals

I'd trade #12 + Hood for Mudiay I think. Call me crazy, but he was the #3 prospect coming out of hs. Larry Brown said he was the best point guard he's ever seen at that age.

Can you imagine the line-up possibilites.

Mudiay
Exum
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

Mudiay
Burks
Hayward
Favors
Gobert

Exum
Mudiay
Burks
Hayward
Gobert

For me, if Porzingis is slipping and is there at 8 I'd trade 12 and Hood. You know what they say, go big or go home. Roll the dice like the Jazz did with Exum.

But the house wins too often when you roll the dice...

I don't think we move Hood.

 

[Coach Ellis]

Not a huge Mudiay fan. I would have a hard time loving it if they gave up quality assets to move up for him. I can live with them going after Russell, Porzingis or Hezonja. . . but I have a hard time seeing Mudiay being worth it.

I disagree.

 

[mellow]

If I were DOL and thought a guy was going to be a superstar and I could move up to get him....I would try to move Hayward first. Hayward has more value, is older, has a shorter window to Ufa and is closer to his ceiling.

Hood, Dante, Gobert are off the table. I listen to Burke, burks, and favors. I shop Hayward.

I wouldn't do any of that to get Moody.

I would try like crazy for Hezonaja and Porzingas. I would day dream about towns, but Minny ain't taking any calls.

I would add Winslow to your list and remove Russell(I don't see Russel falling that far)

If Hezonja is there, would the Jazz pull the trigger though? However, Hood already proven himself that he is a good player. Hezonja, I'm not sure.

I don't think Hezonja drops to 9. Chance is so small that it's almost not doing a contingency deal around it. You'd have to bribe the Nuggies or Kings to pass on him with a juicy offer.

Yes, I think the Jazz would offer 12 + Hood + the OKC pick for Hezonja. That's just a guess.

I'd do that deal. I really believe in Hezonja as an All Star talent.

 

[stormkoopacv03]

The Jazz love Hayward too much, it won't happen. Isn't he currently the face of the Jazz?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

If we could get Hezonja and keep both Exum and Hayward, that's obviously the best. That is a perfect line-up in terms of length, athleticism, and skill for the modern league.

I've always had Hezonja in the same tier as Mudiay and like him better than Winslow.

I was hoping the Jazz could draft him last year before he pulled out.

We have enough picks to deal that I don't think we need to trade Hood. Hood was a good pick that we haven't seen the best of yet. He's a keeper.

I think a future first and some second rounders possibly throw in Burke but hold on to Hood.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

My rule of thumb is u don't trade up for a guy over seas. They are too much of a crap shoot. Porz could easily bust hard

 

[Elizah Huge]

Best case scenario is we keep Exum, Burks, Hayward, Hood, Favors, Gobert and somehow manage to move up.

Porz could easily be the best player in this draft.

Well, you'd have to bribe the other team. If they think they can get Hood + Turner, that might make them pass on Hezonja. I don't think a team would pass on him for much less tbh.
