My bid for Joel Embiid

[Elizah Huge]

If the Jazz scouting department decided Embiid is the home run of the draft I am all in and all for this deal, I see no one on our team as untradeable to get an all star and franchise player. I'm just excited to see who DL and Co. think that player is between Wiggins, Embiid, and Parker, because I know we have the assets to move up I just hope they get their guy.

Favors, #5, #23, GSW '17 pick, and the rights to switch picks in 2015 for Embiid? Way too much, come on now.

To get Hakeem, if Embiid=Olajuwon and Favors=Horford, I am all for a bunch of role players for our 'center'piece.

I'd say 2015 is too soon. I'd do that trade but swap the rights to 2017 or 18.

And to be honest, and I know this is kind of dumb, but I think I rather give up Kanter than the 2017 GS pick.

Our 2015 pick is most likely lottery bound and could easily be top 10.

Seriously? Favors and #5 for Embiid is really pushing it.

Lol at the guys who said Burks and #5 for Jabari was too much, but Favors and #5 for Embiid is a good deal.

The leading scorer on 8 of the 15 post-Jordan championship teams was a big man. All 15 of those teams had a big among their top-3 scorers, and 12 of 15 had a big among their top-2 scorers. 14 of 15 of those teams had a big that averaged at least 16 points per game (Sheed averaged 13.7 for the 03/04 Pistons).

I never said "big", I said Center. Reading comprehension. Sheed isn't a centre for example.

I've never said that. Listen, without a star you have nothing. I'd give up Hayward, Kanter, Burks, Burke, Favors and Gobert for a star for 7 years. I can build around a star. The Jazz have nothing build around.

Really? You can build around a star?
Jazz tried that for YEARS when they had two of the ALL-TIME BEST stars in Malone and Stockton. They could never assemble enough pieces. Give up too much for a star and you end up with trying to overpay for FA's. And unless your name is Prokhorov, you simply don't have enough $ to go shopping every year.

So, Cleveland comes to you and says, "we want Burke, Burks, Hayward, Kanter and Favors for #1. You say yes or we hang up."

What do you say?

I say yes.

I say hell to the no.

The ironic thing is, is I draft a bust #1, we probably both get fired the same year. You in 3-4 years because your core has maybe made the playoffs and me in 3-4 years because I drafted a bust.

But if take Embiid, and he's an All Star in 3-4 years, I still have a job.
