    is utah screwed?

    hayward and hill will both be in high demand this summer, and each has been connected to other teams already (hayward to bos, hill to SA). so, you may lose what were 2 of your 3 most important players from last year (gobert the other). if you don't lose them, they're in line for very big raises. it will be difficult to improve on the team given the cost of these players.

    wonder if they have backup plans.

    Utah is in an interesting predicament.

    They've been steadily improving every season for the past several seasons and finally made the playoffs this past season. All that can go down the drain if they can't retain Hill and Hayward. Apparently today they've been dangling Favors for a point guard, maybe Beverley.

    the answer will be: most drafted poorly. if what we mean is conjuring a player better than what can be gained with the MLE each year.

    That's fine, this guy is on his way out.

    Jordan is an anti-Jerry West pick. Nice guy, but dumb and has shown absolutely zero skill development in the league. He's a goner.

    Didn't see this posted anywhere else, but Josh Jackson refused to work out for Boston, who I believe wanted him at #1 and surely at #3. Ainge and Stevens were already on the plane when he cancelled, so they slept in Sacramento and then flew back home the next day, mad and refusing to draft him.

    Now rumors are out that Phoenix convinced him to not work out for them. And the Phoenix GM is saying he did nothing wrong and operated within the rules of the NBA. I like this guy. Anyone who sticks it to Boston and Ainge has my support.

    http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/19721347/phoenix-suns-thrilled-get-josh-jackson-fourth-pick-draft

    "Suns general manager Ryan McDonough said Friday without elaborating much more. "The process is what it is and we played by the rules, I guess. I'm just thrilled Josh Jackson is sitting next to me and is a member of the Phoenix Suns."

    As a rookie, he made the right decision. Probably wouldn't get a ton of playing time in Boston.
