Utah Jazz War Room Chatter

The question we have to ask ourselves is what is our style? We know that the Warriors will try and slow it down, with the Hornets and Hawks looking to speed the game up. The Knicks are a wildcard this year, but arent they always, and who knows what to expect from the Raptors.

Are we a speed team, do a little run and gun? Or are we looking to dominate the inside? They say the paint is where wars are won. Do we want that steady balance? We know how those picks in front of us will fall in the first round, and we are ready to say that if Dwight Howard falls to us at 4 we will gladly grab him. But what about picks 9...16...21...28...and 33. That is where this SGL season will be won. 

We got some work to do, because with these other league GMs, who knows what will fall in front of us.

NCAA Recruiting

Pitches to Recruits against SGL members:

Syracuse- They haven't won more than four games in what...like a decade?

Michigan- Their recruiters are lying snakes and did you see last year? They are on a downward cycle

North Carolina- Come on kid, that's a basketball school

Miami- Well that is a place for thugs. Your momma don't want you to be a thug now does she?

Florida St- Those are cheating thugs. With those sanctions you wanna play in the Chip right? Get some exposure, become a legend.

Come to Notre Dame son, it is where champions are made. 

And with the first pick...

League sources report: The Golden State warriors have selected Dawayne Wade as the first overall pick of the SGL Draft.

The Hawks are on clock...

Sources: Yann drinks his OJ

It is heavilly assumed that team AirFrance will be taking OJ Mayo with his first pick, despite OJs limited size be excels in street cred and that happens to be ATLs number one priority.
