First to comment…wow. I guess. But what I have to say is that I really like this Jazz roster and it's potential. However I think it's stupid for any franchise to mortgage their present for unforeseen future equity. Trying not to win games creates a loosing culture that can carry on for decades ..ie Wizards and now Nets. If they keep this up they will find themselves saying we are two years away from being two years away from playoff contention.
Yeah Ace is a guy. Taking Edgecombe, Kneuppel, and even Harper over him will not age well.
