If the Spurs trade with the Raptors. We could trade down with the Wizards and get Knight plus a future 1st rounder.

OR If we go Kanter, we can guarantee Jimmer will be there at 12

No one is going to take Parker in exchange for a high draft pick. When you're in the lottery, you are REBUILDING. Why would rebuilding teams want an aging veteran who is clearly on the decline?

Cleveland is taking Irving, Minny has Rubio. Utah, nope. Toronto needs another couple of drafts before they can be competitive. Parker would be a band-aid and then he'd be gone.

Only way a trade happens for Parker is if it involves a 3rd tea.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the kings take a shot?

He's only 29 (easily has 4 years left in his prime) and the same reason Minnesota was thinking about trading Love and the 2nd Overall Pick for freaking Pau Gasol who is 30.

Raptors would have:

Parker
Derozan
James Johnson
Ed Davis
AB

So will the Utah Jazz follow the practise of acquiring players they infamously passed in a draft?

If they give the spurs the #3 pick, will Kanter or Knight be acquired by the jazz in 7 years?
