#1 Pick to Utah?

So, short version: is this real or a local radio troll job. I haven't seen anyone outside of the Utah media talking about it.

I think the Cavs and the Jazz have been talking about a trade, and that Favors and #5 would most likely be the structure of the trade.
 
If this isn't true... everyone should get to punch spence in the balls.
 
I am curious if this trade occurs if it is contingent on who takes Embiid because Philly will clearly win that. I think the Jazz have better assets to offer though.

I think Philly is bluffing on the Embiid front.
 
This ish is getting crazy! I'd like to keep Burks. If they want an unprotected give them the GSW 2017. I'd be sad giving Favors away, but nothing I can do.
 
If I believe Wiggins or Parker will be a top ten player some day I do the deal. It would give us even more cap space/flexibility, so we can add another piece now. I just think Burks is going to be a player... I also hate the idea of cleveland ruining him. Between irving and Waiters the ball was already pretty small in Cleveland.
 
I think it's real... but only in the sense that DL did his job by finding out what it would cost the Jazz to acquire the #1 pick. I'm sure every other GM in the league has asked the same question, and has an answer relevant to their franchise as well.

I also think it might be contingent on Embiid being there at #5 as well. Think Cleveland is trying to have their cake and eat it too. I hate them so much right now.

You think we might be able to move 5 and 23 to Boston for 6 and 17 right now just based on speculation that Embiid could fall?
 
Spence and Monson reporting that Cleveland has rejected every teams offers except for the Jazz and Philly.

Jazz offer is #5, Favors, #23

Cleveland asked for #5, Favors, a future unprotected 1st.

Jazz also willing to send Alec Burks instead of the draft pick, but the FO is not united on including Alec.

Cleveland will send #1 and Jarrett Jack.

Jazz front office is waffling between Wiggins and Parker.

Not clear what Philly is offering, but MCW is on the table as is the #3 and #10 picks.

Philly has offered MCW and Thadeus Young to LAL for Steve Nash's corpse and the #7 pick.

I figured Jack was coming back from get-go

Favors, #5 and #23... dunno how I feel about that

**** trading a future 1st rounder though, id much rather give up #23
 
I'd still do the trade. We can get players at the level of Burks and at pick 23 in FA. We can't get a top 10 player in the league anywhere except the draft. You still do this if your scouting says your target at 1 will be a top 10 talent (hopefully Wiggins).
 
Favors, 5 and 23 for Wiggins and Jack.

Sign Josh Mcbobs,

Cleanthony Early at 35 is a pipe-dream but thats who im taking.

Burke / Jack / Garrett
Wiggins/ Burks
Hayward / Early
McBobs / Evans
Kanter / Gobert

I like that team, no idea how they'd do next year though, tbh.
 
ya. if we can get wiggins, we dont need burks. we will miss favors :( ****ing cavs asking a lot. mfs. they are gonna suck anyway, so just give us the damn pick
 
I'd give them all of #5, #23, GSW pick, Burks if they'd substitute Kanter for Favors.

A core of:

-Burke
-Hayward
-Wiggins
-Favors
-Gobert

And a **** ton of cap room is a beautiful thing.
 
Favors, 5 and 23 for Wiggins and Jack.

Kanter is a 4. He is not a center. You need a rim protector. Kanter can maybe play 10 minutes at the center position to fill the gap. But overall you need a rim protector in some way.
 
Still don't see why Cavs trade away #1.
They don't have a franchise player.
If they do this trade they still don't have a franchise player.
It's nonsense for them to think they will lure LeBron back.

If all we have to do to get it done is include a future 1st instead of #23 and the Jazz don't do it.....ima ****ing kill them.
