Following 2016 potential draftees

Minor prediction -- Jazz will offer 12 + OKC pick or Trey Burke to move up a few spots in the draft.

If Dunn and J.Murray are off the board when Sacto picks at 8, they may take the deal. Sacto targets Deytona Davis, Wade Baldwin or Dejounte Murray at 12.

Toronto might also bite at 9.

Deal with Sacto may get expanded to include Burks and Rudy Gay.

In an industry where patience isn't practiced, maybe just maybe we should try showing some. Hayward and Favors are damned good players. Hood isn't far behind. Gobert is becoming an elite defender if not already and Exum has the tools to be the best pg in the game.

I don't disagree with any of this. We have lots of good players. If we trade Hayward we will still have lots of good players except then we have lots of good players plus a very very high draft pick.
Then we can always try to replace Hayward with another good player in free agency.

The #3 pick + #12 pick + free agent (bazemore, batum, etc whatever) + burks hood exum lyles gobert favors all being healthier and more experienced would more than make up for Haywards production imo.

I could picture the Jazz taking Jaylen Brown at 8 or 9 if they can move up. Maybe Skal.

Under the deal you outlined I would take Skal.
Jaylen would be unnecessary with Burks, Hood, Hayward, and Gay.

Plus, our team is intact, a year older, and adds Gay... We can afford to swing for the fences and be patient (very) with Skal. Huge risk/reward.

To be honest, I'm fine with the Jazz taking ANY of the high risk/reward players in this draft. In fact, I hope they put themselves in a position to take two of them and build the SLC Stars around them with the sole purpose of the D league team to accelerate the development of those two players. Whoever the Jazz draft shouldn't be someone that they're counting on for production this year. As such, swing for the fences as many times as possible. I'm totally fine with using this philosophy at #12 (or higher) and then trading Burke, 2nd round picks, cash and maybe the OKC pick to move up for another one.

Still doesn't get us a star, just recycling assets.

Either u didn't understand my post or didn't read me entirely too long windbag of a post, but basically u need to start over meaning not just trade Hayward but everyone. We aren't going to find a star by picking between 12-20. Or be patient and let the guys we have grow as a team seeing as we have the 4th youngest team in the league.

Just don't see how trading Hayward gets us a star? If Murray is your answer, yikes. He looks like a good player, but nothing about him really stands out. He's average to short for his position and not very athletic. Guess I could be wrong. I was about Curry so...

I'm all for trading Hayward for a star, I just don't see it happening. More then likely we take a step back, but not enough to where we are putting our selves in a position to draft a star. Unless u get lucky, extremely lucky.
