NBA Draft:
I think the Jazz need to to 1 of 2 things in the draft
1. Trade the 1st round pick along with Hart and/or Collins for a decent backup big-man (I'm not talking Gadz here, Maybe someone like Johan Petro, Steven Hunter, or Fabricio Oberto).
2. Draft the best possible player available in the first round, and groom him like they did with CJ, and are currently doing with Almond.
I also think that the Jazz need to really consider what kind of players they can get for the mle.... If we can sign someone like Chris Duhon for part of the mle to sure up our backup point gaurd spot we should be set. Another thing we have to look into is trading Hart and Collins for a big TE, and use it to sign a couple of decent free agents (Maybe Collins, Hart, and Almond for the Golden State TE; it would be about 6.6 mill)... Then we could most likely get a Duhon type player, and maybe David Harrison.
The next thing I would do is get a third string power forward to develop from the second round of the draft. I think Omar Asik and Sasha Kaun are the perfect candidates to fill that role.
I also don't think that we should trade any of our good players (Boozer, Brewer, Deron, Memo, AK, Korver, Millsap, ect.) unless we get an absolute
steal (like LA did with Gasol).
Lastly, no getting desperate and throwing away our young guys for players exiting their prime like Michael Redd, and Baron Davis (don't want to end up like Dallas).
I think that if we did all of these things we would be ready for an even deeper run than we had this year....
I would like this to be our 2008-2009 team:
PG: Deron Williams, Ronnie Price, Chris Duhon
SG: Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, C.J. Miles
SF: Andrei Kirilenko, Matt Harpring, C.J. Miles
PF: Carlos Boozer, Paul Millsap, Omar Asik/ Sasha Kuan/ first round pick (whoever is more nba ready)
C: Mehmet Okur, David Harrison, Kyrylo Fesenko
D-league: (pick two) Kuan, Asik, or the first rounder (most likely Hibbert or Ajinca)
