Rumor: Jazz willing to trade Burks to move up into top-3

[Noomskull]

I would trade, Burks and 23rd, 35th and the future GS away to move up.

I would not trade away Burks and the 5th pick though. Nobody in this draft is worth that.

100% agreed.

Who would you draft at #5 with Parker in our pocket?

LOL. No one is going to trade a potential all-star for a 6th man and three players for their D-League roster.

But I did get a rise out of the Parker in my pocket. Ben Wa would be a good complement IMO.

Burks and kanters value are highest right now, waiting until trade deadline only diminishes value. Next summer they would be like Hayward today...no value.

You do the trade of course, but you feel sad when Burks is averaging 20 pts.

I completely disagree, their value is pretty darn low as of now.

Tell me why?
Averages for both should be much better. They will have been starters, not backups. If a team wants to keep them, they'll have their RFA rights. If a contender wants them at the deadline, they're both VERY cheap.

Haha... Nice.

 

[Park Bites]

#5, Alec Burks, and GS '17 first round pick for #2?

Jazz

Burke
Hayward
Jabari
Kanter
Favors

Bucks

Exum
Burks/Knight
Antetokounmpo
Ilyasova
Sanders

Do the bucks only do it if Exum is there at #5 though?

we would to take some garbage back from the bucks

I would think Burks value is actually high and Kanter's value is a bit low. Burks looked legit from about halfway through the season on.

I would try to keep in this order:

-Favors
-#5
-Burks
-2015 unprotected pick
-Burke
-Gobert
-2017 GS pick

To move into the top 3 it will take a mafia offer... I could see Phili doing it if Wiggins and Embiid are off the board, but it would take #5 and Burks at a minimum... likely a future pick or two.

 

[Sexual Favors]

It if nets us a top 3 pick then see ya Burks. Same for Kanter, Burke, Gobert, Neto, Tomic and Favors.

I used to think that a couple of weeks ago. Now, I draw the line at Wiggins. Embiid's back and lack of experience, and Parker's defense, weight, and unwillingness to pass make me unwilling to trade Burks or Kanter plus #5 for them. I am in the minority who view those two as our best prospects. Any of the others are still on the table for me, though.

I guess I don't see either of them getting significantly more minutes this next Jazz season. They are both still stuck behind another player. Right now they have perceived potential, with any flaws in their game easily excused because of Corbin. If they play 50 games under Snyder and they still struggle with defense then their value takes a hit. Snyder maybe good, but I doubt he can fix either of their defense in 50 games of limited playing time.
