ESPN confident Jazz trade pick

Don't worry guys. I'm quite confident in our GM Lindsey to land us the 3rd pick. I just have a feeling it'll be ours on draft day. Maybe the same scenario events like last year, where Minny picked Trey for us and vice versa.
 
I get the feeling that the Jazz are gonna do everything they can to get Jabari. Not because he is mormon, but because they will view him as the best fit and the best player. I kinda think they will pull it off.
 
If Exum falls to 5, the Jazz war room phone will be ringing off the hook. If the Jazz are in love with Gordon or Randle, I could see them trading down and adding an asset. The problem is that neither Boston or the Lakers have a player asset we want. Is Exum worth Boston giving us the 6 and 17? I would do that deal, even though it has shades of the DWill draft trade. Gordon and Levine would be Hella Sexy. Exum finally lets Boston deal Rondo for younger assets and places them in the tank for one more year to grab one of the better big man prospects up in 2015 to match with that hippy they drafted last year. The fact that everyone knows that the Lakers coveted Exum, would make it an easy sell to the fans.
Problem is that Danny Ainge isn't stupid.

I hope you are right, I would be over the moon if we get Jabari.

Why do we need four rookies? Giving up Exum for #17 is dumb. Unless the FO absolutely hates him. He could end up as the best player in this draft.

100% on board with trading Burke for the 12th pick. Especially if saric is still around.

Also, in response to the op. I will be pissed if we pass on exum.

I have felt this way all year. I hope we are right.

Lindsey would look like a totally incompetent fool if he made this move...basically giving up on Trey after not even a full season, for a 12th pick? People around here act as if Trey Burke is Jason Hart 2.0 or something. He's the ONLY clutch player we have on the team and yet we want dump him so quickly. Last I checked, players that consistently come through during clutch situations are NOT a dime a dozen.
 
I hate the idea of trading down unless it lands is a star veteran, which I don't think it will.

I like this draft if a) we go gangbusters to get top 3 and draft Jabari, or b) we stand pat and draft Exum at 5. That's really about it.
