JazzFanz Official Draft Rumors Thread '13

[A-Train (old)]

Let's be reasonable here-- Utah has the 14th pick. His agent likely designated his work-outs much earlier, and Jazz were not involved in moving-up talk by any stretch of the imagination

Cody Zeller worked out for us?

 

[b_line]

It's Burke OR Porter, not both.

For me, both or none... lol.

 

[Revolution 9]

If we land pick 3 is Otto who everyone wants?

I imagine there are a few Oladipo supporters out there

Oladipo, Porter, McLemore in that order.

List of teams rumored to be trying to get rid of picks:

Denver #27,
Chicago #20 for T-Rob allegedly on the table.
Cavs #19 for T-Rob allegedly on the table.
Mavs #13 + Marion for later pick. Cavs at #19 is rumored. Please let the price fall to #21 n 46, or just 46.
Timberwolves #26 for Marshon Brooks.

I'd love nothing more than to have 6-7 first rounders on the roster next season. At least one will surprise hard in a couple seasons.

Oladipo will be nothing!!!

I think I'd take Oladipo or McLemore over Porter. But I don't feel THAT strongly about it.

My bad, Zulu!

I shall repent!!

 

[Stifle Tower]

Hahaha... funny.

What kind of mileage do you get with that flux capacitor?

 

[The Midnight]

Man you guys, I'm away and nobody took over to keep the rumor mill going???

Here's one, can't believe they actually "want" Jimmer:

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider 1m
Pacers push to swap Gerald Green and No. 23 for Jimmer just got a little more realistic. Larry Bird loved Jimmer in 2011 Draft.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Cody Zeller worked out for us?

Yes he did. Smart agent. You never know who might be interested in moving up. Or, Zeller could have a bad workout with a team projected to take him in the 8-12 range and he could possibly slide back to #14, especially if another big just kills it in his workouts and jumps ahead of him.

 

[The Midnight]

Here's another juicy one:

Adrian Wojnarowski ✔ @WojYahooNBA

Cleveland pushing to acquire Dallas' 13th overall pick, with a focus on drafting Russia's Sergey Karasev, league sources tell Y!

 

[franklin]

I'm going to start a twitter account, start a rumor, and see how long it takes to show up.

 

[The Midnight]

yep

Yannis Koutroupis @YannisHW

Oladipo said he's heard rumors about Minnesota trading up for him. Had a real good workout and talk with Flip Saunders. Says it's possible

 

[Stifle Tower]

Is anyone out there getting a feeling that we won't be drafting a PG in this draft?

At least not a starting one. Many comments point (pun intended) to the Jazz not counting on this draft to deliver their PGOTF. I think KOC and Lindsey already have a plan in place via FA or trade. I could see the Jazz getting Schroeder or Larkin at #21 if either are available, then re-signing Tinsley and getting a starter once free agency begins.

 

[The Midnight]

Zeller could go to the Bobcats

Craig (Charlotte)

Who are the Bobcats targeting? Are they looking at Oladipo if he falls to #4? I see him, MKG, and Biyombo having a hard time getting buckets next year.

Chad Ford (1:17 PM)

Information is tough to come by out of Charlotte but hearing Alex Len, Bennett, McLemore and Cody Zeller. Zeller is a dark horse in Charlotte. GM Rich Cho likes him a lot, but he's struggling to convince the rest of his organization he's the guy. Wouldn't be shocked if Bobcats traded back with the Wolves either. They could land Derrick Williams and Cody Zeller!

If you have both Zeller and Mullens who can shoot and stretch the floor, that seems like a good fit for MKG.

 

[The Midnight]

Haha.. this is funny. Watching Cavs trying to rape NO for all its worth:

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 40m
Cleveland has offered New Orleans the No. 1 pick for Greivis Vasquez, the No. 6 pick and a 2014 first-round pick:

 

[The Midnight]

Will we go with a big and a PG?

Jody Genessy ‏@DJJazzyJody 1h
Lindsey said the 2013 draft class has "an inordinate amount of bigs that are really big." He also called it a "solid point guard class."

Steve Luhm ‏@sluhm 2h
Lindsey says some PGs will be off the board, but some will be in Utah's "wheelhouse" at No. 14 and No. 21.

 

[franklin]

Haha.. this is funny. Watching Cavs trying to rape NO for all its worth:

And I hear the Nets are offering the #22 for CJ Miles' rights lol
