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

Just wondering guys, but when was the last time there was a draft with up to 5 or 6 players who would have or potential could have went #1 the year before?

Why don't people want to trade any of the current starters for a pick to land jabari?? I find it hilarious that people on this board think ANYONE on the jazz roster is better than Wiggins/Parker/Emblid.. There's a reason why we finished with the 4th worst NBA record people.

This.

We earned our terrible record.

If there's a chance we can land Jabari, you take it. We need a franchise player. He absolutely fits that description.

Not a good comparison.

Marvin was a pure potential pick. It didn't have much to do with what he did on the court. He didn't even start for his own team. Jabari is far better than Marvin was.

Lol. Marvin shot 51% FGs (Jabari 47%), Marvin 43% 3pt (Jabari 36%), Marvin 85% FTs (Jabari 75% FTs). Jabari scored more points and got more rebounds because he played 31 mpg to Marvin's 22 mpg. But make no mistake, those shooting numbers for a 6'8" athletic forward were lights out - he did it in the ACC - he produced - to call him a pure potential pick is silly if not just completely ignorant.

Those were his per 36 stats. Thanks for catching that.

Cool.

Per 48 mins Gobert would average like 8 blocks.

In other words, worthless stats.

Look at what Burks actually has done. If you could get Jabari for burks, you take it. No other GM would be stupid enough to not.

Lol Williams played 22 minutes per game, how can you say he was not picked on potential?

Who's saying they wouldn't trade Burks for Jabari? Its Burks plus #5 plus another picks that people don't want to do. Thats a hell of a lot more then just burks.

Big difference between Burks projected 36 stats having played 28 mpg and Gobert having played 9 minutes. Try to keep up there, Thriller.

Also, I posted Burks per 36, not 48. Gobert's per 36 blks are at 3.4 FWIW.
 
Lindsey is building a defense first team. I don't see him trading a farm for a player who is a defensive liability of Boozerisque scale. You don't want to put a new coach in a position where he must choose between benching his "star" and #1 option and giving unequal treatment to his players.
I don't see Jabari happening unless he falls to 4th.
