For every tale of a lie told by those intricately involved in the NBA Draft, it seems there is the story of a promise.
     Or a supposed promise.
     Team A promises Player B that if he were to stay in the draft, it will select him with Pick X in the opening round.
     "I'm hearing more and more every year in terms of promises," said Walt Perrin, the Jazz's director of player personnel.
     With the NBA's Thursday draft fast approaching, some of the talk Perrin hears of guarantees made by a particular team to a particular player is quite true.
