We literally JUST had a late first-rounder turn into Trey Burke. If you think late first-round picks are worthless, you haven't been paying attention.

2014's draft and free agents classes are top notch. The Jazz are now in position to make big moves within both. CALM YOUR ****.

I'm a little disappointed we couldn't get more with our cap space. But we have expirings and we have extra picks. Maybe we can parlay those into something. And, as others have mentioned, we are now ALL IN with the youngsters. We just slammed the door shut on signing a bunch of veterans to play ahead of the Core5. Rush will get some time, but Biedrins and Jefferson are garbage. They're going to make this team really bad when they're on the court. AS mentioned, sign Tinsley and Carroll and we're good to go. Definitely see Utah in the mix for a top-6 pick.

Trey Burke goes about 16th in the 2014 draft, apples to oranges.

I'm thinking there's a good chance that Lindsey can parlay these expirings into another 1st rounder or two.

Bull ****.

The talent in 2014 is nice, but it's not that nice. Burke would still be a lottery pick.

After you get past 10 in the 2014 draft (top prospects now, not even counting the few that withdraw every year) the 2014 draft is just like the 2013 draft. Good talent in the 1st round but nothing crazy.

Unless, of course, the youngsters blow up, which is what we want, anyway.
 
One of the best reads I've had in a while. Thanks for the thread, Thrill

Even IF the youngsters blow up, the bench is now one of the worst in the NBA. Jazz will be in the running for a top-6 pick. And I disagree with Gegen%$#@. The talent at the top and down through the lottery in 2014 is FAR superior to 2013. I doubt any of the 2013 picks would crack the top-5 in next year's draft.

This was a great deal for us. We got garbage who will ride the pine, help Jazz meet minimum payroll requirements, won't take minutes from youth, and in exchange we get draft picks. To me this is a signal that the Jazz FO is all in on the youth movement and the future. I'm thrilled with this deal, though on the downside, our bench next year will suck big time. But that's ok . . . sing it with me "a tanking we will go, a tanking we will go, draft picks and garbage filler, a tanking we will go."

I don't know man, Corbin might think we got the NJ Nets version of Richard Jefferdad or somethin like that.
