A-God draining some unguarded 3's.

Ray Allen probably gets three shots off for every one A-God takes.
This. The Jazz will have 6 lottery picks under contract if they match on Gordon Hayward's offer. The price to move up for an unproven commodity is too high IMO. I love Parker and Wiggins, but not at the prices that have been bandied about. Aaron Gordon has all the potential in the world. The better move is to pick him and then do everything that you can to build him up and then build around him. See how the pieces fit under the new coaching staff and look to make an impact move next offseason. There's too many teams that are jostling for position to be a part of the Mello/LeBron derby.I'm perfectly happy taking Gordon at 5 and keeping Favors.

Except for the last part, I agree completely. I'm always sad to see players traded, especially since they are young and still improving. But Favors didn't step forward as a franchise center. The fact Lindsey is willing to part with him signals that they are either very high on Gobert, Tomic or have an inside track on another player via trade.If the trade happens I'll be happy. If it doesn't and we get AG I'll be happy as well. If we don't move and take Vonleh I'll get behind it and cheer for him but I will be bummed initially.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel. I'm pretty sure that most of the possible outcomes for Thursday will improve the Jazz. I'm happy with forward movement for this team. I'm glad that the coaching search is done with and we have an idea of the direction that they're heading. It seems like this upcoming season will again be "lean" with an emphasis on playing the young guys and developing talent. I can live with that type of direction as long as they figure out what players real values are before extending their contracts. Hayward is going to be a bit more of an unknown factor because he's never played for Snyder in the type of system that he will bring. I personally hope they keep him, but I guess we'll see.If the trade happens I'll be happy. If it doesn't and we get AG I'll be happy as well. If we don't move and take Vonleh I'll get behind it and cheer for him but I will be bummed initially.
My prediction for the top seven picks:
Cleveland: Andrew Wiggins
Milwaukee: Jabari Parker
Philadelphia: Dante Exum
Orlando: Joel Embiid
Utah: Aaron Gordon
Boston: Marcus Smart
LA: Noah Vonleh

Cleveland/Milwaukee: Makes sense
Philadelphia: MCW on the market. Likely indicates they want Exum.
Orlando: Noah Vonleh. I don't see Orlando taking Embiid, Vucevic is a quality center. They have Tobias Harris and Jack Nicholson (I mean Andrew) at PF. Vonleh is not only BPA but also a need pick.
Utah: Aaron Gordon. No brainer with Vonleh gone.
Boston: they think about Embiid, but go with Smart. Everyone knows Rondo is gone at the deadline.
LA: Embiid too tempting to pass up at #7

6. Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State
Tyreke Evans (88.3), James Harden (87.5), Chris Paul (87.0), John Wall (86.0)
Smart is one of two first-round prospects without a match better than 90. Players with some similarity to him have been successful in the league; Evans and Dion Waiters have had the worst careers of the group.
29. Jordan Adams, UCLA
Dion Waiters (96.6), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (95.6), Otto Porter (88.8), Paul George (88.7)
All of the 10 players most similar to Adams were drafted in the top 15, which is another indication he could be a steal late in the first round.
