Sloan could. Calipari and he became very good friends.. Cousins visits Cal several times per year. Cousins is a big kid and immature, I admit, but he responds very well to those he feels knows what the **** they're talking about.
Steven Adams could turn out as good or even better than Kanter, but it's risky.
Okay, so it's looking like......
Noel, Oladipo, McClemore, Porter, Len, Zeller, Bennett, Adams, Karasev, and Caldwell-Pope are 10 players expected to be gone before #14.
One of Burke, McCollum or Carter-Williams will likely make it to #13, depending on what Portland does.
Jazz may just need to get up to 11 or 12 to get one of them.
Christ, if we trade ANYTHING for MCW I'll tip over the ESA. OVER!
Olynyk and Giannis might also factor in before 14. OKC is making a bit of noise about taking Giannis (probably just trying to get a team to offer them a trade). I'm all but certain OKC would trade 12 + a later pick for 14 + 21.
It's also becoming pretty clear. If the Jazz want Schroeder or Shabazz, both should be there at #14. We don't have to do anything.

We're hearing from league sources that Nerlens Noel's knee was red flagged by Suns. There's speculation that he could slip out of top 10.
Calm down bro, MCW with a jump shot is #1 pick in this draft.
I wonder how legit this is but here goes......
Yes, but not his upside. It's through the roof.This board overvalues Kanter waaaaayyyyy too much.
That's a full time job. When would PKM ever find time to post on jazzfanz?The guy goes out and gives you a 20/20 when he gets PT and he's rumored in a trade? I don't care what the deal is. As PKM said, it could be for the 1 and 2 and it wouldn't be worth it. I turn in my Jazz card if this happens and don't feel the least bit of remorse in doing so.
OK, I take that back. If the Jazz were to get Cousins AND the #7 for Kanter, I'd probably pull the trigger. But only if Lindsey hires PKM to mentor/babysit Cousins.
No way I give up any picks for Kanter.Cousins just said, "Max me or trade me." Kings might like to move him.
Jazz could make it Kanter + 14 for Cousins + 7.
Then the future would be darker. Noel and Favors are about as redundant as it gets, BTW.
A report like that comes out in the 11th hour? Not likely. Phx wants Noel to drop to 5.
i get the feeling many on here wouldn't even trade Kanter for Lillard

Hearing Suns are offering Cavs 5 & 30 for 1. Not yet known how Cavs view the offer. Suns after Noel.
