Following potential 2017 draftees...

If they did manage to move into the 10-14 range I would be a little nervous though. I see a group of players consistently mocked in that range that are overvalued IMO.
 
that made me laugh, his bro Marcus was damn good they had Mcfadden, Peyton Hillis and Felix Jones in the same backfield all three NFL runningbacks

Yeah, as soon as I posted I wanted to add "and/or Hood" ... I can totally see it.

Not sure what to think about this. Is trading an established player for a rookie a good sign in what they believe Hayward will do? If he's on the fence, I don't think you can make this kind of move.

If it happens, at the very least I think they know or believe they know what is happening with Hayward.
 
Hood is a good player but he is the one guy on the team who doesn't play Jazz ball, well him and Burks. They can go play with Carmelo and see what it's like.

Lyles and 24 enough to get into the lottery?

I really don't care what they do, as long as it doesn't involve helping other teams get better by taking on bad contracts.

Lyles + 24 would probably get #18 from Indiana, maybe a bit more. I think the Jazz might make that move for John Collins personally. I don't like how Lyles checked out last season.
 
Look for a team in a tight cap situation that could really make use of the Diaw deal and Utah's remaining cap space from last year -- e.g., Detroit and Charlotte. Sacramento might also play ball with their second lottery pick.

I think our targets would be Mitchell, one of the Collins, or maybe Kennard. I think the Jazz would also take Monk or Dennis Smith if they could get their hands on one of them somehow.
 
Shooting wise Lydon seems like a perfect fit with Gobert. I usually don't like using the college 3 as an NBA predictor, but wow perfect form on his jump shot (unlike Lyles). He should be a reliable 40% NBA 3 point shooter.

Brooklyn is still very much in the running. No rule against starting two combo guards.

I think this kind of solidifies their plan to take on unwanted players in exchange for draft picks and young players. Signing Hill to a 25mil/year deal wouldn't be conducive to that plan.

Problem is everything else other than shooting.

Yes but they have committed to some dead long term salary in Mozgov... may not be worth the risk to overpay an older Hill.

The idea was just that what would they do with the space may as well overpay and eat it on the backend... now they may be less likely to eat the backend of an overpay.

He can pass and is a smart player... gets blocks and steals and is an adequate rebounder. He's kind of athletic and has good length.

Not sure why we are knocking the guy so much. Imagine if Lyles made 40% of his threes... you'd live with his other ****. Lydon isn't as good off the bounce but likely thinks through the game better than Lyles.
