Burks and Jabari shirtless. Now there is a hot combo...
Oh sorry wrong forum!

Are Love or Westbrook the best at their position? Could they lead you to a title? No way on Love. I wouldn't touch him with a 10 ft pole. Westbrook? Maybe. Depends on how much you attribute OKC to Westbrook vs Durrant.
Season ends...lottery takes place. Jazz are stuck at 6. Would kanter, burks, 6th pick and early second move us to number 1? I believe it would, but is it worth it? Is a Jabari, Favors and Hayward core championship material?
Need to pick up a bench scorer in the offseason. Prolly find a serviceable bench big with the gs pick. Seems hefty price to pay and not sure we would be better, but won't have to commit to kanter or burks long term if the jazz are uneasy.
Contention? With this team and a #8 pick? I disagree. We had the best PG with Deron, and couldn't make it to the finals. You need to have the a player that is the best at his position plus supporting cast. There isn't a player on this team that could be the best at his position and the #8 pick probably won't be either.
Our team is CLOSE to contention, but we need that "best at his position" player. Someone that can take over any time and carry a team. We NEED that top 3 pick. I'd give up our pick, GS pick, Burks and Kanter to get the right guy. Maybe more. Because without the right guy, you are contending.
Basketball is a one man sport.
I'd rather have a Hayward/Jabari pair IMO.
Jazz need to lose more and get lucky in the lottery. I thought this would be obvious to most.
Are you a Mensa master?
Compared to some people on this board including you. Yea.

I'm the opposite.
Westbrook relies on his athleticism and now that is in question - I wouldn't touch him.
Love on the other hand is legit offensively. Pair him with a defensive Center and a proper PG and I think you're a contender right off the bat.
I guess you forgot something. How many championships did MJ win before Scottie Pippen? How many championships did Lebron win in Cleveland? ZERO.
