So what does tonight`s draft mean for our future?

Devin Harris will be in Utah at least for the remainder of his contract. Okur will stay on to tutor Kanter and Millsap will be shopped around to see if we can get a strong guard for him. Anything else?
 
With Indiana picking Leonard they may be looking to trade Granger? Maybe Millsap and the Golden State Pick would suffice!
 
I think the Jazz are hoping they've got 4/5 starting positions figured out with Burks, Hayward, Favors, and Kanter going forward.

We certainly have a ton of options moving forward with Harris, Jefferson, Millsap and next years GSW pick. We will be players in next years draft, or at the trade deadline if we have a season.

Indiana picked Leaonard to trade to the Spurs for George Hill.

Chad Ford Twitter:

"The Pacers take Kawhi Leonard with the 15th pick. This reminds me a lot of Danny Granger pick in 2005. Great, great value here."


"Pacers have traded this pick to the Spurs for George Hill sources say."
 
I think Memo stays through his contract (maybe longer at a much lower rate if he can play at all) to help with Kanter. Sap is probably the best trading chip with Harris being the 2nd best. I think Harris stays though.
 
I assume CJ is retained, and after this draft I think he will be. Once we sign our rookies, we'll have 11 guys under contract.

C Okur
C Kanter (R)
C-PF Jefferson
PF Favors
PF-SF Millsap
PF-SF Evans
SF-SG Miles
SG-SF Hayward
SG Bell
SG-PG Burks (R)
PG Harris

Burks MAY be able to play some PG in the NBA, but we're surely gonna sign at least one more PG(Watson?), which would give us 12 guys under contract. That's without re-signing AK, Price, Fes, or Elson. Could be a trade coming, but not so sure now. This roster has a LOT of versatility; besides, trades need a trading partner...

AK Fes Price are goners. Watson should be re-signed if they can get him for cheap.
 
I think with us picking Kanter that Milsap is done with the Jazz and we will make more moves
Also to me it means that we aren't going into full rebuild mode and that Kanter is really gonna have to fight for playing time.
 
I would rather try to sign AK on the cheap than keep CJ. We also still do not have a solid player at the 3. I think Hayward is great at the 3, much better at the 2. I am hoping for a trade.

I'll be pretty surprised if Burks actually plays any PG for us. That would be cool though.
 
I shop Jefferson over Millsap. Jefferson brings you more back and Millsap is the perfect sixth
man with a great work ethic and can show the young ones how to win. I like this team. Smart vets with Harris, Bell and Millsap and a ton of potential with Favors, Kanter, Burks, and Hayward. If you can move Jefferson for a legit sf who can score, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
 
It will be interesting to see if the Jazz can be patient through this rebuilding process. There is always the temptation to take a short-cut and make a trade. If the trade doesn't work out, it just lengthens the rebuilding process. I would rather see Burks play some point guard than Price.
 
I would hate for the Jazz to trade either AJ or Millsap now (barring an unbelievable offer), and then have to watch Millsap blossom into an elite 3 or Jefferson finally live up to his potential. Jazz should wait and see what they have before doing anything drastic. Wait until the trade deadline to make any BIG moves. Jazz aren't winning anything anytime soon.

I couldn't agree more.
