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

Whichever trade-up scenario you choose, it's a gamble. You really can't be sure how these guys will turn out. But you know the old saying: "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." And I think it definitely applies here. I'd rather stand pat because we know what we got, plus we get another pick who could be just as good or better than Parker. We need to play out this season and see who is really better, Hayward or Burks, and then make the trade.

Guys, Ernie meanie's moms phone number is: 801-282-8097. Call and complain about his crappy posting a few times. Maybe you can get Corbin fired too.
 
I think you only even begin to discuss including Burks in a package with #5 if you're talking to the Cavs for #1. Or if you're assembling a completely different package to obtain an ADDITIONAL top-10 pick in this draft.

I don't think there is a single team out there who views burks as highly as you must. He is viewed as a competent backup with a ceiling of jamaal Crawford if he is lucky. Probably not worth a top ten pick, and certainly not with the jazz missing out on being in the top three.
 
The nice thing about trading with the bucks is that you could see them doing the trade for only picks and the option of dumping a player or two on us...

#5, GS 2017, our top three protected 2015 1st round pick and us taking on either Mayo, Zaza or Ilyasovia


That's

Burke
Hayward
Parker
Kanter
Favors

With a bench of Burks, the Bucks player and Gobert...


Get it done DL

That's perfect if there's not another team that views Burks that highly because then including a different player shouldn't be a big deal. Burks is simply the closest thing to a keeper on this team and the Jazz have other interesting pieces and cap space to absorb bad salary. I'd hate to give up a guy that might by himself be better than whoever the Jazz end up getting (because there are still no sure-things in this draft). Also, I said include him in a PACKAGE for that theoretical additional top-10 pick.

But then again, I'm not totally sold on Burks either. But right now, he is clearly the most impactful player on this team.

Very good point. And Milwaukee still gets their choice of maybe exum, vonleh, gordon, etc.

Jabari Parker is the next Rudy Gay

Make of that what you will

Rudy Gay has excellent lateral movement as well as his ability to defend elite SF's. I'm sorry I just don't see that with Jabari Parker, can he score? No doubt but he will be a liability on defense trying to guard NBA small forwards.

If the price is right we have to get him, but we cannot afford to jeopardize our future for one player. Especially when that player has such a glaring deficiency.
