grrrrrrrrrrrrrr ... sigh ... this draft is ripping my guts out.
I love embiid but I don't see a solution where he is drafted by us
wiggins just seems like the "it" pick but don't see him being in a jazz uni.
I would sell my right nut to get Parker. I just like the fit.
I am blah on exum. to hard to think of how he will be used.
Gordon gets me excited just thinking about the jazz being a defensive team
vonleh seems to have the measurements but we would lose kanter probably.
smart see gordon.
randle is just blah because kkk killed him for me.
mcbuckets just seems like a jazz man. love that guy
Payne is the perfect stretch 4 for the jazz
stauskas damn he is Canadian (I know wiggns is too) that can shoot lights out but what about burks does Hayward play the 3.
and the most frustrating thing of all ...
Just hire a coach already. so we know what direction the franchise is going.

So you would rather the Jazz rush a hire than due their background work? Smart.

honestly I think DL is just interviewing everybody so when he hires an off the wall coach he can say we interviewed everyone and he was the best candidate. I think DL already knows who he wants.
I want Messina personally. I like his coaching philosophies. (sp)

honestly though the jazz are drafting with out knowing what the coach is going to push or how he wants to,play the game.

Doesn't really matter. It's the coach's job to coach and the GM's job to put the team together. Granted, some coaches have had more of a say personnel-wise (like Sloan, Pops, Jackson, etc.). But the Jazz can use help EVERYWHERE! Give me any name and I can tell you how to get 20-25 mins for him (or more if needed).
From what Lindsey said, we're only using one pick. He said the scouts are really going to have to justify any player taken with the 23rd or 35th pick. Trade or draft & stash, IMO.

agreed but I still think you bring in players that fit a system. players that don't fit the system get wasted. it is very hard to fit a player into a system when they don't have the skills to play in it.

Would orlando take parker only to raid the jazz of assets??

He had the Jazz taking Randle at #5. (if Jabari deal falls through)
This guy knows his stuff.

"There are some that would suggest that sliding Derrick Favors over to the five spot and playing a frontcourt of Favors and Randle could yield bigger dividends..."
So I guess Marvin Williams was playing the 5 for us last season?
My concern about Messina is the old-school, drill sargeant reputation. The game is changing, players are changing - I'm not sure how receptive this generation of talent would be to someone like that. The younger guys with a reputation of being a player's coach are having a lot of success in today's NBA (Spoelstra, Scott Brooks, Vogel, etc.).
Popovich would be the exception, but that whole franchise is an exception. That's a vet-laden team with a lot of old school, tough guys. Even the young fella (Kawhi) is a bit of a throwback.
That's why I lean towards Quin Snyder at this point. He's won (he got ****ed Missouri after one of their best runs in school history), he's well-liked, and he's coached under the best.

here's another good read from today ... https://www.libertyballers.com/2014...092/sixers-nba-draft-2014-trade-jabari-parker
Its also worth noting that Dennis lindsay said in his 1280 interview fri a story about one of his best friends being sam hinkie.. so that couldnt hurt I suppose... c'mon dennis..work your magic!

I dont know...seems like Lindsey is saying a bunch of stuff but probably more to it. It does not make sense to go out and say you are not going to use your picks publicly. Something is brewing.
35th I advocate a draft and stash. Greek Freak 2.0, anyone?
For #23, I hope it's part of a package to move up to 3/4 or flipped for a future 1st with little or no protection (top-6 at most). I also wouldn't mind a Clint Capela draft and stash. You can't have too much length/athleticism.

I think most people are thinking with their hearts instead of their minds. Yes it is a small possibility that Parker falls in the draft same with Wiggins .. Embiid.. Exum, but the chances are small close to a miracle. I find it funny how many people are saying the Jazz want Parker because he is Mormon and how many fans do to but then when you point out this fact they turn around and deny. I haven't heard any Jazz front office person say they want any player let alone Parker but this fact doesn't seem to matter nor stop people from designing ways to get him.

Thanasis' isn't a draft and stash guy, he will be in the D-League if hes not on his teams roster.
im all for a draft and stash though. ****, if it was up to me id buy another pick and stash 2.
Porzingis at 21 and Walter Tavares or Damien Inglis at 35 are the ones i really like. also im cool with Capela or Bogan Bogdanovic at 21, but id much rather have them at 35 where they are steals. Micic could also be in play around 35
of the "buy a pick" to stash a player variety, IE, Raulzinho Neto; Nikola Jokic, Artem Klimenko, Rasmus Larsen and Moussa Diagne have a chance, and i think are worth developing overseas, Diagne has a chance to be a major pain in the *** blocking shots and grabbing rebounds, the other 3 are floor stretchers

if Bogdanovic is the pick, i highly doubt we see him in a Jazz uniform next season, IIRC his buyout is 1.2mil. However Bogdan is already a legitimate star in Europe, and watching his next season from afar could be alot of fun, I could easily see him generating the type of buzz where next offseason like Mirotic this year, people are mentioning "well if he was in this draft, hed go.."
