What's new

Who do you like the most as a realistic pick between 6-8?

I’m okay with that as a goal, but after all the stubbornness shown in order to tank I hope there’s some restraint in pursuing playoffs. I just hope we don’t make a bad move.
I think the good news is prices seem to have come down on some of these trades. Maybe not according to the Bane deal but still more reasonable.

Yeah….I'm kinda wondering how the value of a 5-8 pick may compare to a star. “Star” is ambiguous as it is, and especially when it comes to big money players. You already here some hesitation about Giannis from windy and co….what does that mean for a star a tier down?
 
I just realized that for several years the Jazz was absolutely obsessed with getting tall SFs that are good on defense. Besides Lauri, they got Agbaji, Fontecchio, Hendricks, Cody, THT, Toscano-Anderson, Ace... The amount of assets that they wasted in the pursuit of that coveted archetype was quite disproportionate compared to what they got.

But the Ainges are still doggedly searching for their new Tatum and Brown.

The Jazz like players with plus size/length who can shoot as a starting point. Hendricks is more of a 4. Williams is a 2/3. Some of these fringe guys like THT and JTA were throw-ins in a trade. Fontecchio was a free agent that didn't cost anything to sign. Most teams want athletic and versatile wings. That isn't unique to the Jazz.
