To add to this, I have to wonder about the possibility of trading down by attaching Burks' contract. His contract shouldn't be that hard to dump to a rebuilding team with cap space given that it's expiring. That could then potentially really create a lot of room. I know it likely won't happen...

Charlotte knows they can't win in the next few years with that Batum contract on their books. I think they're going into full tank mode the next couple seasons to hopefully be armed once they have substantial cap space open up again.

Here's my updated draft matrix. I tried to just use some of the more reputable NBA guys. Again, I'd like to make it my own thread, but I can't figure out how to get access to make my own thread or how many posts are needed to it.

Seems like Okogie is gaining momentum. He's moving up in new Mock drafts too.

You're wasting your time with Bradley. He sucks. Other teams know he sucks too. He has 0 trade value too. You'd almost have to compensate a team for taking him and his contract.

Jerome Robinson has skyrocketed up mock drafts. Seems there's a very small chance he's even available by the time the Jazz pick. He's pushed Troy Brown down. He's #17 on Givony's mock draft on ESPN insider and #16 on NBAdraft.net.

I wish we could know for sure if we were going to get him or not before relinquishing the rights to Favors. If I knew we were signing Jabari, I'd be great with giving up the rights to re-sign Favors and not guaranteeing Jerebko's & Udoh's contracts.

I don't really understand how they're looking to trade Jabari Parker. He's a restricted free-agent.

So Locke picked Musa for the Jazz in his mock with Elie Okobo, Divincenzo, & Jerome Robinson among others still on the board? Sheesh. If the Jazz take Musa I'm going to be very disappointed. Him or Grayson Allen. As this goes on trading down looks more and more appealing to me. Guys like Khyri...

Kawhi wants to be in LA. That's known. People are talking about the Lakers, but not as much the Clippers. With Tobias Harris and their draft picks this year they could put together a very attractive offer with Kawhi likely signing an extension. This better not thwart the potential we have with...

I'm pretty sure the Hawks are only willing to trade down if you'll take Dennis Schroeder and his contract off their hands. There's no chance the Jazz want anything to do with him.

At this point I think there's a strong argument for trading down if a team behind us in love with a prospect and wants to trade up to get him. Someone like Khyrie Thomas, Keita Bates Diop, Jerome Robinson, Melvin Frazier, etc. will be available after #28.

Because it's a more sensible composite ranking. Your ranking includes several mock drafts of people who have no idea what they're talking about and weights those as equally as guys like Jonathan Givony's mock. Elie Okobo as #29 consensus ranking? Come on, no way he falls that far. Aaron...

I made a Matrix of some key mock drafts I follow where I feel like the guys making them have some basketball intelligence. I wanted to make my own thread for it, but I guess I don't have privileges to start a new thread yet. I only included players who showed up in a 1st round mock. It gives a...

It's not really feasible to trade for him right now, but there are two seemingly realistic options. 1) The Clippers are struggling next year and if it's obvious Tobias Harris won't re-sign, they'll likely want to go into take mode and will trade Harris for young future assets. It probably...

Given Kevin Love's contract, I don't think Cleveland could really get much back for him. Nor do I think the Jazz should bring him and his deal on. If they did, that would basically max out cap space and be the final piece that would be added. I'd rather have Tobias Harris or maybe even Mirotic.

If the Clippers are struggling halfway through next season (and I think they will be), Harris could be had for relatively cheap.

I think it's going to be Khyri Thomas or Divincenzo. Whichever one is still on the board.

If for whatever reason Favors isn't coming back, I like the idea of being compensated to take a flier on Faried for 1 year. There's a hang up here though. I believe just taking on Faried's expiring contract isn't compensating Denver enough for the 14th pick. They would likely want something...

Nice to find a thread about this. I've been compiling my own list. The list of somewhat realistic candidates of outside free agents I've come up with are, - Avery Bradley (Struggled this past season, but in '16-'17 he averaged 16 ppg, shot 39% from the 3, and was considered a lock down...
