Report: #5, Favors, Burks for Cavs' #1 pick

[The Midnight]

Yay or Nay?

Jazz are offering up Derrick Favors, Alec Burks and No. 5 pick to Cavs for the No. 1 selection and Jarrett Jack, according to @1280Spence.

Yay, but would be sad to see Favors go. He hasn't progressed as fast as anyone would like, but he has managed to get better every year and I think he will continue to do so.

Nay. I know we have to swing for the fences here but that just seems like to much

Sucks that it would have to be Favors AND Burks, but again we need to swing for the fence so I say do it.

 

[The Midnight]

I'll also say "Yay".



We can always pick another "Burks" with the #23 pick - this draft is loaded and DEEP.

Replace Burks with picks (either #23, GSW 2017, or future first) and I'd say yay.

I'd rather do this, too. But I'll say yay either way. We need a true franchise player.

Yep. If you believe Wiggins is going to be a top 10 player in the league (which I do), then you do this trade in a heartbeat.

And to think we could have just intentionally lost a couple more games...

Cavs don't need more mediocre picks. They need someone who can help them now. Burks can come off the bench and give them 14pts tomorrow if they needed him to.



Besides, I'd rather pick someone fresh with our #23 anyway... I don't like the thought of 'paying' for Burks.

Losing two key players from last year's squad in this trade proposal, I fear we wouldn't want to lose a third and would overpay in a match to keep Hayward.

That's what I'm starting to lean towards.
