Bill Simmons: Prediction No. 1: Utah tries like hell to trade up for Jabari Parker.

Do you want a championship or a good team?

This is a very deep question....I pick.....Championship!

Ya, but it's a good way to document who doesn't understand the business of basketball.

Now we wait for some time to pass.

I love Burks but I would do that trade. Mostly because the Jazz really need to swing for the fences, and I think Parker will be at least an all-star in this league.

Still I wish/hope it can be done for someone other than Burks.

There is no way in hell I'm doing 5th 23rd and Burks for 3rd.

I respect this opinion too...I just have a differing one. I don't think it's very clear cut either way.

Man I'm becoming one wishy washy **** lately. That's pretty much my opinion on the 5th pick of the draft as well. I'm fine with all four guys, though I have an order of preference.

Is ANYONE on this team going to be anything more than a solid starter? I don't think so. So what's the problem with trading some of em away to get a guy that we could otherwise never have in FA?

It's weird to hear you present yourself as someone who is talking the plainest common sense......... when you are also making an assload of assumption about a 19 year old kid as the background for your points. Check yourself homeboy.

#5 + #23 should be enough to move up 2 spots to get Parker. It would be similar to the Burke's deal. Jazz gave up 14+21 for 9, meaning an average 17 pick to move up 5 picks. This year they could do an average 14 pick to move up 2 spots.

It does not work like that.

My point is the guys we have already proved to be limited and will max out as role players. Parker is widely regarded as possibly turning into a future star. Not sure that this decision is very difficult for front offices. Willing to bet any of them would take Jabari over continuing with our role players.

Like you, I'm sure they want Jabari. I'm also sure they'll draw a line somewhere instead of getting **** on during the negotiations. #5, #23, Burks, and a future pick-swap feels a bit like getting **** on to me. Just my opinion.
