FUCK! I played the Lottery Mock Draft on ESPN 1 god-damn time and the Jazz with 1.7% won the god damn thing! http://espn.go.com/nba/lottery2010/mockdraft
I just hope they don't land Evan Turner. He makes them more dangerous because he's the perfect fit next to their superstar PG.
If they get Wall, can they trade us Deron Williams? I'd give them anyone on the team but Roy and Oden. Maybe any two players...
Man, if the Jazz got a top 2/3 pick, they would be lethal in the next year or two. The Bulls won the lottery for Rose, who knows what will happen.
I think Turner, Wesley Johnson, Xavier Henry or James Anderson is their guy. Either way, they're getting a heck of a SG.
Depending on their pick, I could also see them going after Aldrich. Okur as a starting C is not going to win you a championship and their is a plethora of capable SG's in the league that they could get either through FA or trade. Aldrich as a white guy would fit perfectly with what SLC has always tried to do.
Millsap and Boozer? I suppose they could if they felt that Millsap wanted to remain the best backup PF and sent Boozer packing, or felt that Boozer would accept a backup role.
Cousins is probably as volatile as he is talented ... there's a lot of risk attached to him regarding his maturity and coachability (I'm somewhat reminded of Beasley).
He'll still end up getting drafted highly regardless. He has carried himself well so far in the tournament and resisted retaliation against that Wake Forest player.
I meant if given the opportunity why wouldn't they take Cousins over Aldrich. Cousins has more upside and has shown a better offensive skill set than Aldrich.
Roy is better than Deron. And, yeah, I think a package of Aldridge/Batum with a third team involved could make it happen. I don't know if i'd make the trade, but I see it as doable if the Jazz land Wall.
I'd take the young elite PG over the all star SG any day of the week. And Aldridge/Batum wouldn't be enough. Oden + Batum + 1st rounder. Why would they need another PF when they got Millsap, Boozer and Okur? It makes no sense, especially since Aldridge is a shitty defender.
Read much? That's why I said a third team would be involved. And Aldridge isn't a shitty defender- he's got a way to improve, but is at least average. He's an improving power forward that can hit shots from anywhere.
