Bill Simmons: Prediction No. 1: Utah tries like hell to trade up for Jabari Parker.

I also dont believe the Mormon connection. In fact it could be argued that he would better serve in another place where LDS population is thin to help with exposing the church in those areas.

I'm not saying you have to respect everyone or every opinion, if you would read again, I've complained that some people here can't tolerate any different opinions.

I too don't think the mormon connection thing carries any weight, fwiw.

I totally agree.

Embiid will slip.
He is the Oden of this draft.
So it's JP or Wiggins that will go first, methinks!

But Oden went first...

Drummond did. Not sure about Davis.

I think this is dumb to be thinking we can get protection on our picks if we are trying to trade up.

Not happening. We would be lucky to get one of these teams to budge with no protection.

I agree...it's like telling someone, "Hey, how about you give me that $100 bill you have in your pocket right now, and I'll give you back anywhere between $5 and $85 three years from now?" Probably get a bunch of crazy looks and black eyes...

So, Salt Lake City.
