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

Can you (or anyone else) post videos like this one and the embiid one for wiggins, smart, gordon, vonleh, randle, and exum?

Please please please?

Do you want it here? If I find any more and what not I'll just throw them up.

I think we should trade Golden State's 2017 unprotected pick.

Why? Because, I'm now convinced that lottery picks 1 through 8 are reserved for teams that are competitively tanking. If you're terrible but not intentionally so, then you're looking at the 9th pick. And the lottery odds for the 9th pick suck (unless you're Cleveland).

I say we use it to trade up.
 
Lol at everyone saying they wouldn't trade anything for Parker. Look at that guy! It's even funnier that they bring up him being mormon. No look how freaking talented he is!

I don't think it'll be too high either, unless Kerr breaks up the team somehow. Let's use it to get Parker.

Could even draw it up so that Philly (or whoever were proposing to) gets the better of our 2017 or Golden States 2017.

Thats a great idea. I would think about putting top 3 protection on it, but I think both the Jazz and Warriors will at least be in the playoff conversation at that point.

I think this is dumb to be thinking we can get protection on our picks if we are trying to trade up.

Not happening. We would be lucky to get one of these teams to budge with no protection.

y'all are dreamin if you think Jabari is gettable. He has his issues, but that's a great prospect right there.

Yeah Jabari is a dead lock to go number 1. So young.. yet so much star prowess oozing from him.
