Kira Lewis, Otto porter and a 24 first

No clue why I wrote that out when it's included in the tweet but whatever. Maybe to rattle it in my brain a bit

Very mediocre first, but hey, it's a first.

Wow… Ochai went from untouchable to so so so touchable… shocked.

And expiring money so not bad. Clearly headed for tank town?

How is Kira Lewis? Playable?

DA got his FRP

Woj said this morning the Jazz could add more picks and get better.

Maybe the last brushstroke is the "get better" part?

Arent we kinda too far above the waterline to get to the relevant depths?

The Jazz finally get Otto Porter. JazzFanz 2016 would be losing its mind right now.

Simone package > KO package imo.

Don’t start with me… there are levels to tanking.

Awful. Will be a 2-way guy after this year if he's lucky.

IMO, this suggests the FO is targeting someone mid-late 1st and want to be able to trade up into that spot, or they're expecting a very significant trade this offseason and are storing draft capital to facilitate that.

Glad Kelly is going to Canada.

Unless we have a plan to trade for someone bigger I’m not sure I like punting on the season again.

I think it's just that some teams are willing to deal late first in this draft and DA/JZ are just taking what they can get.

I forget Otto Porter is still on a NBA roster. Curious to see if this is one of those trades that get lumped into another trade with more teams and moving pieces involved.
