Punch Bowl Re-Filler
What it comes down to is the draft, IMO.
Is Middleton at a HUGE, overinflated contract better than Burks and Hayward with Hezonja and Hood off the bench? What if Hezonja is gone, but Utah drafts Booker? Or Looney, with Hayward then getting some time at SG and Looney playing backup SF?
Only way I see Utah going after a wing is if they decide to take a big like Porzingis. And I still say there's a 50-50 chance we trade the draft rights to our pick for a veteran once free agency opens. I don't think at #10 Lindsey would be too enamored with the players available. Utah has a TON of youth already. I find it interesting he already broached the subject. Did he perhaps have some conversations at the deadline like KOC did about Jefferson? We can give a team a couple of firsts, including this year's. But we wouldn't want to deal it unless we knew it was not going to be top-3. And Team X might not want to make a trade if that first pick is delayed for a year.
