Episode 15 is live! @Handlogten's Heros and I were joined by the legend himself Tony Jones!

Less than 24 hours before the draft and 30 seconds after the Mikal Bridges trade news broke we were lucky enough hop on with Tony!

Were the Jazz actually in on a Mikal Bridges trade?

Who does Tony like at 10 and who do the Jazz like?

Breaking down guys like Carter, Dillingham, Topić, Williams, Holland, and Salaun.

Which rumors are more than just smoke? Who could the Jazz target in free agency and in a trade?

Plus much more! Best episode we’ve done thus far. I promise you don’t want to miss it. It’s an absolute banger. Thanks as always for listening and for the support!

Loading it up and going for a run. :cool:
 
Forgot to mention, a popular lottery prospect canceled their workout with us… tap in to hear who it was.
 
This was by far your best pod in my opinion. I mostly listen to your pod because I know you (or whatever you call this), but this was legitimately something that every Jazz fan should listen to. Really good stuff.

@Tony Jones you are great and thanks for being so willing to give up your time to feed our Jazz addiction.

The way Tony was talking about Kolek to the Jazz was surprising. Kolek and Dillingham actually have nearly identical length measurements but Kolek outweighs him by 30 lbs.

I like Kolek a lot, but taking him at 22 feels pretty early. Based on draft history, the majority of these 23 year olds that look great will not be rotation players in the NBA. I think there is a huge risk taking an older guy that has to be accounted for in draft position.

Both Leif and Tony have mentioned him and seem really pretty confident. I think that may be the trade up target… I’m meh on him but whatevs.
 
@KqWIN will appreciate that Tony said we fell in love with Bilal last year.
