Use Hayward to trade up or for another pick

Most everyone has been talking about using Burks or Kanter in trade up scenarios, or if not up, then to get another high 1st rounder. But I think it would better to use Hayward. For one, we know what we have in Hayward. He got the playing time and opportunities to show what he has and will probably be -- at best, a third option on a championship team and surely not a go-to guy on any time. However, we really don't know what we have in Burks and Kanter because of the limited opportunities that Corbin gave them. Both have the potential to be second options on very good teams and first options on middle-of-the-pack teams. Hayward also is far more coveted around the league, so the Jazz would not have to give up so much if he is part of the deal.

The question remains who is going to take Parker if the Jazz don't and would they be interested in Hayward.

Well, it is just a thought. Others on the site seem to be more informed about the draft than me.
 
Hayward, like all pending free agents, cannot be included in draft-day trades. And contrary to what people are piecing together on Twitter, he also can’t be involve in any Sign & Trade discussions that take place on Draft Day because it’s illegal for the Jazz or any other team to negotiate with Hayward until July 1, long after the draft has fully congealed.

You can't use Hayward to move up he is a FA. Everyone under contract be traded before the draft but FA must wait until July 1st or 9th I can't remember.
 
What do you think we could get for Millsap? What if we packaged him with rush for another late first round pick? Which side says no?

I heard on espn if the jazz are willing to package Millsap and Harpring and the rights to Rusty LaRue, we could move into top 3. Not sure whether coach Nissalke would sign off on it though.

I guess they couldn't do a wink-wink, after the draft? I do recall now that someone did mention that earlier that he couldn't be traded. Oh, well. I don't like the idea of trading Burks or Kanter now because we haven't given them enough of a chance to prove themselves. And for my money, I think Burks already has shown that he is going to be a very good player.
