#1 Pick to Utah?

If the deal is Favors, Burks and #23

OR

Favors, #5 and #23

I like it even more!!!

We end up with Wiggins and Burks or Wiggins and Gordon/Vonleh/Embiid.

Man I hope DL can get this deal done!

I read it as Favors, the #5 AND either the #23 or Burks.
Cleveland wants Favors, the #5 and an unprotected first, which would likely be in the top-10 next season. And with their luck/connections/soul burning in hell, that pick becomes top-3 next year.

OK, for everyone that blasted me in the other thread...

If this is the proposal, it is EXACTLY what I was saying. You can have Burks or another draft pick, but not both!
The deal sweetener is the #23. I'm ok with that. This draft has a comparable player to Alec Burks in the 20's. And hold firm on the pick protection. Jazz will be in the lottery next season, likely top-10. Can't build a playoff team overnight in the WC with a young Wiggins.

Philly doesn't have a center to offer Cleveland and that is what they need most. Sit tight, Dennis, you're dealing from a hand of strength on this one.

Millers are letting religion get in the way of their thinking. No Gail, God is not going to award Utah a championship because they have a Mormon on the team. But those merchandise sales!!!
Damn the merchandise sales. I never buy player jerseys but I'll buy a new hat and a couple of over-priced t-shirts if you let DL draft Wiggins.

Deosn't mean we'll draft him.
 
*I'd still like to see Burks with a note on his chest. A combo of him and Wiggins would be slashing heaven. Getting Gordon back to set-shooting 3s would be awesome.

Burks/Wiggins/Hayward >>> dope

I'm just saying that if the last part of the deal comes down to the #23 OR Alec, I'm ok with that. I LOVE Alec. But Jazz can get a pretty good SG or SF later in the draft to put in the rotation with Wiggins and Hayward.

You saying there is a specific player that is similar to Alec's game or just someone who has a similar value?
 
I don't understand Cav's interest in Burks. They have Waiters. And CJ. I understand their wanting a big. I think Favors + 5 is fair. If they'll take Kanter instead of Favors I'd include the 23rd or some future pick.

I know they wanna rape us but I don't wanna be raped. If that isn't enough then I'm happy with gambling on Aaron Gordon. I think he has as a good chance to be as good as the guys at the top of the draft.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant similar value. There are some very good wing prospects in the 20's or Utah could even combine the #23 and #35 to move up into the late teens. Marvin Williams could be signed as the 3rd wing to back up Wiggins and Hayward. Burks is fun to watch, but he's not irreplaceable. Certainly we won't get someone with his acrobatic driving ability (HOUDINI!), but maybe the draft pick will be a better defender and/or a better outside shooter.
 
I know it's probably all a smokescreen to try and pry more from the Jazz or other teams, but here is the latest on Cleveland and the #1 pick:

"Of the offers they've received, a source says the Cavs aren't enamored by either the Sixers' offer (Thaddeus Young and the No. 3 pick) nor the Jazz's offer (Derrick Favors and the No. 5 pick). However, the Cavs do have some interest in the Magic's offer of Arron Afflalo, the No. 4 pick and the No. 12 pick."

I don't know if I will be disappointed or breathe a sigh of relief if this deal doesn't happen.
