#1 Pick to Utah?

I really don't see this happening. We watch Favors play every day. The normal NBA fan would see this trade and say "oh yea, he was a high pick a few years ago, haven't really heard about him since." A casual fan would say "Who?" This is the #1 pick in a very good draft, I'm sure there is a better deal out there somewhere if they really want to trade the pick. Favors was 13 and 9 last year with good D (though not as good as this board would have you believe.) Not even Cleveland is this dumb, I doubt this happens without another big piece from us.

Jazz would take crap salaries back in order to free more cap space for Cleveland to run at LeBron. That probably means Jarret Jack, but could also mean Bennett, Thompson or Zeller.

Just a thought, but if this deal DOES happen, I wonder if we have the Embiid injury to thank. Cleveland desperately needs a big, was likely set on taking Embiid at #1. Now they have to scramble to find a starting center.

Or did Cleveland create the situation with the big foot injury reveal so that they were justified in trading the pick? There is no spoon.

Wasn't The Thriller a huge Jarrett Jack fan back in the days (in his former life)?

So? I wanted cp3 with our #3 lotto pick. I was ok with Duron. But I wanted cp3. Prior to the jazz trading up from #6, I wanted us to trade down into the later lottery to get green and/or Jack.

I really liked those 2 players. Jack and green. Green finally looked good last year with Hornacek's Suns. However, Jack has been steady since day 1

As it has turned out, Jack has been a great player. How many other 22 picks last 10+ years?

Look at some of the guys drafted ahead of him:

2 Marvelous Marvin
5 Ray Felton
9 Ike Diogu
10-11 2 foreigners I've never heard of
12 Sean May
14 Rashard McCants
15 Antoine Wright
16 Joey Graham
19 hakim Warrick
20 Julius Hodge

Until finally Jack was drafted at 22. He's outperformed many lotto picks who aren't even in the league anymore.

Once again, I think my experience in playing and coaching allows me to make some pretty good observations.

No offense/possibly maybe some offense, but it is kinda hard for me to think of you as an actual person tbh.

yeah, feel the same bro. Thriller is writing like some computer programm. No offense, though. Never realised he was actually human.

I have played and coached football and basketball at 2 high schools in Utah. I'm not going into specifics. But I played against Paul Kruger, Harvey Unga, and several other guys from that early 2000s era. I've been coaching for a few years now in the Salt Lake Valley
