As much as I love Hayward and Burks both of the team are best at the 2. So we could turn one of them into MKG I think you have to do it. As for the people talking about replacing Kanter- you have to draft big guys with talent or play max contracts. We are going to keep Kanter unless we are trading for an All-NBA 1st team player.

So because we cannot trade a big we should trade a big?
If that is the case then who do you trade? Burks or Hayward?
I hate the idea of trading one of The Four.

as much as i hate to say it, if including burks into a deal is the key to getting a top 6 pick and unloading jefferson, i would do it.

As would I. If we could get a top 6 and keep Millsap that would be huge. I don't know how possible that is though. I would hope that the Jazz would target MKG or Barnes with that pick though, depending on who falls.

I think people are excited about what he can be, rather than what he has actually done. Makes him a scary pick in my book. His production doesn't match his hype (especially shooting wise with the Ray Allen comparisons).

He has excellent elevation and long arms and a very strong body.
I think you trade Burks if the right deal is presented. I firmly believe Burks is going to be injured a lot throughout his career. The guy goes too hard at the rim, ala Dwyane Wade-esque. He seems to be injured every year at somepoint. I really like his game but it doesn't work if you're not on the floor.

Kanter is young and on a cheap contract, Stroked. His potential is a lot more alluring and also fits inside youth movements. It doesn't make sense for anyone to take on Jefferson unless he's going to be that final piece in a championship run. But if you have a 4-5 year window...
I believe the Jazz can easily pick up a reasonable replacement for Kanter on the open market. Hell, we're speculating about dumping a 27 year old power forward who works his *** off and has a 21.9 PER for a #6 pick or not resigning him for what he's worth. Keeping "undersized" Millsap is not a problem with Favors roaming around the paint and competent wing defenders to back them up. He's only 5 years into the league and fits perfectly into the youth movement, yet adds veteran experience and leadership.
Jazz have little chance of landing a top 5 shooting guard or small forward outside the draft. What are we hoping for at this point? Andre Kirilenko again? Jazz could pair Kanter with Jefferson for a high pick and cap relief. Then go after Batum and solidify twice over on the wing. Charlotte's shopping the #2. How about calling them up and offering last year's #3 and Jefferson for the #2, then swapping it for the #4 and 24?

Haha I said I would stop being a Jazz fan if they traded D-Will so maybe it will happen
