Considering they finished with nearly identical records, I say it's a draw

Sure the Sixers added Butler and Harris. Did that help them out of the second round? Are they going to be able to keep both (or either) of them? Will Ben Simmons ever make a shot outside of 20 feet?

Andy Larsen is reporting that it's more likely than not that the Jazz trade

Been saying that for weeks. Thanks Andy!

So Andy reads CB?

Yes.

Pick doesn't have much value either

It has more value to a rebuilding team than it does to the Jazz.

A second rounder plus the Flint Tropics' dryer and locker room possum.

And yet we still have CBers who are *agonizing* over picks like Grayson Allen

People just love to complain. I just don't get fretting over the draft.

Lol are you serious? Sixers tanking was an obvious success.

Are they closer to winning a championship than the Jazz?

Hypnotoad

6/16/19 9:03pm

Uh .. Yes. They have 2 players on their team better than any player on the jazz. Jazz made no improvements since donavan

What have they accomplished that the Jazz haven’t.

Father Abraham

6/16/19 9:12pm

So the only argument is they lost in the 2nd round? In 7 games to the champ? Not a great argument

With nothing to show for it so far.

6/16/19 9:23pm

So because they didn't win year one, standing pat is the same as acquiring another all Star?

The point is that the Sixers and Jazz are on pretty even footing, despite

You think their rosters are equally talented? Please.

Deleted

6/16/19 9:28pm

Did you even read the part about their records being off by 1 game?

Hypnotoad

6/16/19 9:31pm

You do know their roster changed during the season...

Deleted

6/16/19 9:33pm

Yep. And they still finished with nearly the same record, despite the Jazz

The sixers won 1 more game in the reg season than the Jazz, in a much

Hypnotoad

So who has improved their roster more since the jazz drafted Mitchell

Considering they finished with nearly identical records, I say it's a draw

Hypnotoad

6/16/19 9:34pm

So because they lost to the champs, Butler & Harris= korver. You should be a gm

Deleted

6/16/19 9:38pm

Do you want cool players or do you want wins?

Father Abraham

6/16/19 9:39pm

I never thought I'd see someone claim Krover is as good as Butler and Harris

Deleted

6/16/19 11:03pm

At least you’re entertaining. But you’re embarrassing yourself tonight.

Father Abraham

6/16/19 11:17pm

By saying Butler is better than Krover ?

All depends on free agency

Locke has been hinting this way too

Father Abraham

6/16/19 8:49pm

I think it has been reported for months the Jazz aren't impressed with this

Hypnotoad

6/16/19 8:53pm

Kawhi Leonard, Rudy Gobert, and Donovan Mitchell might be 3 of the 5 best picks

Father Abraham

6/16/19 8:57pm

Uh... No

Deleted

6/16/19 9:02pm

Compelling logic

Father Abraham

6/16/19 9:08pm

Tony Bradley and Grayson Allen were both unfathomably bad.

Exum. Burks. Lyles only saved by trade.

Deleted

6/16/19 9:26pm

Burks was drafted by KOC. Did you mean Burke?

Hypnotoad

6/16/19 9:36pm

You’re holding him accountable for a guy he didn’t draft?

Father Abraham

6/16/19 9:37pm

Anytime the 3rd pick never contributes, it's a bust. I was thinking Burke but at least he tried.

Deleted

6/16/19 9:47pm

Anticipating talent and development is one thing. But predicting injuries? Ok.

Father Abraham

6/16/19 9:56pm

lol a guy who has been in for one year was unfathomably bad?

Lip Gallagher

I've said it was obvious from the start Grayson would suck, and he does

I would also not say they are 3 of the 5 best picks.

thebruce

6/16/19 9:56pm

They were still both very good picks for where they were drafted

BrutustheBrash

6/16/19 10:21pm

That is true. Just not top 5 IMO.

thebruce

Zach Lowe gives him a lot of credit in this article

BrutustheBrash

6/16/19 10:19pm

Yes, just as you can probably give Justin zanik credit for some of the jazz

thebruce

Whenever he does anything good, we'll just call it dumb luck. But we will hold

Every pick besides Rudy and Mitchell, and no real improvements otherwise

Hood was a bad pick at 23?
