Bill Simmons: Prediction No. 1: Utah tries like hell to trade up for Jabari Parker.

#5 #23 and Kanter for any of the top 4. Don't care which.

Edit: but I'll throw in the 2017 GS pick if it is the difference between Wiggins & Jabari/Exum.
 
There isn't a shortage of fat guys who play no D who can score 20+ in the NBA.

Uhmmmmm, there were only 13 guys in the NBA who averaged over 20 points. I don't think any of them were fat. So I guess there is a shortage of fat guys who can score 20+ points in the NBA.
 
Why don't people want to trade any of the current starters for a pick to land jabari?? I find it hilarious that people on this board think ANYONE on the jazz roster is better than Wiggins/Parker/Emblid.. There's a reason why we finished with the 4th worst NBA record people.

Where's the guarantee that Parker will be any better than Marvin Williams? Remember people thought so highly of Marvin that he was picked ahead of both Deron and CP3. The "experts" and fans loved Marvin Williams. In fact, at the time a lot of people said he was the top prospect, but that Bogut was simply the safe pick for #1 overall.
 
Exactly. Burks is just 22 and put up 18, 4 and 4 on 46% FGs at 22 in his first real season. It's not out of the question he could be a top 5 SG in the next few years. Too steep a price for a rookie with weight concerns who may or may not be a good player.

So how did I miss burks putting up 18, 4 and 4? What season did that happen in? Oh wait it didn't.

Not a good comparison.

Marvin was a pure potential pick. It didn't have much to do with what he did on the court. He didn't even start for his own team. Jabari is far better than Marvin was.
