What's new

To get the number one pick...

Or maybe an alternate question. What could the Jazz GET for the #6 pick? I honestly believe the Jazz may be "cashing in" on there pieces this offseason.
It makes more sense to me as I think about it. If the Jazz could pull off what the Celtics did like 6 years ago I would be totally cool with it.
Kanter plus the #6 pick could possibly net you a Kevin Love. A #6 plus Burke could get you Russell Westbrook? Who knows. At least the whole lack of tanking would be easier to swallow, especially this waist of a season.

I think that could be a contender in 3 years. Jabari, not so much.

Dude. I can't explain the scenario again. Of course if we land a top 3 pick we could role out that lineup. I am saying if we need to trade up we need to give up a ton. You think Hayward and 6 gets you number one? Lol

Those packages you mention aren't even close. Like, not even a little.

You reckon? If I were the T'Wolves I would seriously consider Kanter & #6 pick for Love (who will probably leave after his contract ends).
 
I don't think the #1 pick is attainable for us if we don't win the lottery.

That said, I think it may be possible to move from #6 to #4 in a couple scenarios, and I think it would be worth doing, especially if Kanter and Favors aren't going to play well together for some reason. I think Exum would be worth moving up for, along with the top 3 picks in this draft.
 
I'd rather have a Hayward/Jabari pair IMO.

This. Hayward is a lot more complementary while I feel where Burks would be strong in ways that simply are more redundant and much less necessary with Jabari.
 
I like burks a lot, but obviously can't trade Hayward for number one. This is the package I think might land a number one. So my question since you obviously weren't paying ****ing attention. Is that too much for Jabari and would our new core 3 ( maybe burkes for 4) be contenders?

Yea that is WAY too much if you are the Jazz but probably not enough if you are the team with the number 1 pick. Jabari hasn't proven he can play in the NBA. Yea I know he has NBA offensive skills and is a pretty sure thing in the pros but there are questions if he can play defense. He is a tweener on the defensive end. Besides we still don't know if he comes out. How are the Jazz going to replace Kanter, Burks and the 6th picks production. Jabari is really good but he can't do it on his own.

The season isn't over and the Jazz may move up in the lottery especially if they play like last night or we may get lucky and move up to number 3 like we did in the past. Kanter just had 27 pts and 10+ rebounds and you want to package him for a shot at the number one pick. Jabari isn't even the clear number one pick in the eyes of the experts.
 
I think people are overstating the importance of getting #1 in this draft. There's not a Lebron James generational player in it. Lots of great players with All-Star potential, but not a slam dunk stud regardless of the love for Wiggins, Parker, Embiid.

All the major networks base the #1 pick off who is picking. I have seen Parker (Utah, Boston) Wiggins (Bucks, Sixers) and Embiid (Orlando) all get picked #1 in mocks.
 
is Kanter or Burks, + #6, + #20-something enough to move to 3 or 4? I think thats the more realistic question. #1 picks are rarely ever traded right?
