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

You know, I was just thinking about a trade with philly. Would they even want to take Burks or Kanter with their contract extensions coming next year? I'm not exactly sure how these things work. Would they stay restricted free agents?

Most likely we would not have any extension dealing with them, and would leave that up to their new teams. Yes they would have to pay them soon, but cap space is not an issue with any of them unless they think a superstar will be wanting to come to town. A top 3 pick isn't chump change either, and will scale up with the salary cap rising next year.

Aaron Gordon/Marcus Smart/Randle/Vonley + Burks + 23rd Pick + Not Risking Future 1st Round > JP

Maybe it's only because I'm not as high on Parker's amazing scoring ability as everyone seems to be so.

Though, anyone can continue to assume I'm stupid or a clown. Freedom to have an opinion both ways, right, so it's OK by me.

bring in Jimmer while you are at it.
thank you.
This team should really represent Utah!

If possible I would do --> #5, #23, #35, GS 2017 pick. for Jabari. Keep our core guys, add Jabari, pay who is worth paying after seeing next year with a good coach.

 

[JazzForLifee]

#5, #23, #35, GS 2017 pick can do it. Parker is like Utah's dream. Potential all star + mormon = . I really don't want burks to be traded, thou. He averaged 12 points under Corbin. I will be better with a new coach.

 

[Elizah Huge]

It's idiotic that people wouldn't trade #5 and Burks for Parker. We overvalue our own players and sometimes underrate them, it's a natural thing. Seriously though guys come on, #5, #23, GSW '17 pick, and Burks for Parker is a good deal let alone just #5 and Burks.

So would I.

Hell, even resign Hayward for 3 years, and put them together. Something tells me Hay would flourish with Parker.

Burke - Hayward - Jabari - Kanter - Favors would be a solid mother ****ing lineup.

Add a shooter through FA + Burks, Gobert, Neto, Evans, Garrett.

Next year we make the playoffs as a 7/8 seed. the year after we are top 4. The next year we make a title run.

......lets stop with Parker talk...

jazz are not getting wiggins, parker, nor embiid.

lets talk about #5 lmao. There is nothing we can trade to move up....no team is willing to take that.

 

[Jeffrey32]

Might be a chance that Parker slips to Utah:
Thinking that the Bucks want Wiggins, Philly trades #3 + #10 to the Bucks for the #2. Philly takes Wiggins and Milwaukee takes Exum. Orlando needing a PG takes Smart at #4 and Utah gets Parker. Get it done!
