Following Potential 2018 Draftees

PLS take Bagley, Sacramento. The draft will be so much more interesting.

Well I was gonna say Dieng, but holy **** that contract lmao. Makes 15, 16, 17mil the next 3 years. Wiggins also a dumpster fire contract 5yr 147mil left...

Favors needs to fire his agent. Lol

I'm sure Dieng or Aldrich (low contract guarantee, but they need a lot of help). Good luck on Dieng

Aldrich non-guaranteed.

That 2016 free agency was nuts. Shoutout to DL for not spending like a dumbass.

Is that when the salary cap first skyrocketed?

Would be funny if we got the Minnesota pick back for salary clearing.

I'd focus our trade efforts on getting a pick in the 30s to pair with 21.

There are 19 players in the top 4 tiers of my big board. I think at least one or two of them will be available at 21. Maybe even more. I'm comfortable with taking any of them so I'm fine if we stay at 21. After that I legit have 20-25 guys who could fit into tier 5. Some are all around players who lack upside, some project as contributors on only one side of the floor, some have an NBA skill and high upside but it's untapped. In my mind it gets messy after the top 19 or 20 prospects go. But there's potential talent all the way down to about 40-45. I'd love to get a pick in the 30's too.

Partially... think there is 2-3M guaranteed.

Butt ugly, like Steph Curry's? His form is like Curry's except with a wider stance.

Lol. Not like Curry's. The best look at his stroke was from a workout video posted here (maybe I'll find it later) a few weeks ago. That shot is not like Curry.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Melton can't shoot.

I keep coming back to Melton, I think if huerter is gone and barring anyone significant dropping, I think the jazz go with him. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Locke hardly even mentions him....

 

[zyzz]

I'd be stunned if we picked Simons. The way Locke, Perrin, and Tony Jones talked about him, it seemed like he had a poor workout and a bad interview.

Then it is settled... stay at 21 and get another pick... where is Cy... I kinda miss him disagreeing with me every time I post.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Ugh. Better than Grayson, but still- ugh.

BTW, nbadraft.net shows the Jazz getting Robert Williams at #21.

I'd rather be the second team to get him.... I do not think it will start well.

My bad, 2M GTD.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

Of course. West knows what the hell he's doing.

Lol if the Clippers actually make that pick

 

[LoPo]

We aren't trading with Minnesota unless it's for Taj Gibson's expiring contract. Nobody else makes sense. Aldrich will be let go which saves Minny millions and Dieng is untradeable for the pick they have.

One contract nobody is talking about is Jerryd Bayless' $8.5 million expiring at Philadelphia. They just sold the #39 pick for a future 2nd and cash. If we took that expiring, which we have cap space for in July, maybe we could get #26. Philly might like the idea of having enough cap space to lure LeBron and keep Reddick. Or they could just make other moves since they would have over $40 million in cap space.
