Big guys

[Favors Flave]

If you draft a big with the 3rd or 12th picks, who do you trade? I saw a poll on this but can't find it anymore.
-Big Al is clearly better than Millsap,Tomic and Okur. He also would demand the best players in return
-Okur has a great expiring contract. When healthy, he stretches the floor well
- Millsap, could demand a good deal. I think he gets dealt even though I think he could be a 6 man of the year for the Jazz
- Tomic, I think he gets traded too. Sell him while he still has some value

I won't even include Favors b/c he should be untouchable unless it was a trade for a star which isn't happening.

Personally, my favorite option would be to trade Memo,Millsap and Tomic and draft Kanter and Biyombo.

PF- Favors,Biyombo,Evans
C- Big Al, Kanter

Is Kanter the next Oden or *gasp* Borchert with those knees?

I'd love it if Cleveland took Williams at #1. Then it would get fun. You'd have a ton of teams trying to trade up with Minnesota. More than likely, Minneaota would make the pick and subsequently trade the rights. In the meantime, the whole state would explode at the idea Minnesota took yet another PG.

If we take a big like Kanter, we shouldn't trade any of our bigs still. Atleast not until we know for sure if Kanter is the real deal.

I don't think Minny fans would be upset at all if they took Irving. Too good a player, and they'd still have Rubio's rights to deal. If Irving slips, Minny grabs him in a heartbeat.

We better not take him 3rd if we don't already know he is the real deal.

This is smart, just so the Jazz can evaluate the bigs for a few months and see which big one they could do without that would get the Jazz some good assets.
