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

Remember that time when The Cavs picked LeBron with the first pick Cuz he was from Cleveland???

I'd be ****ing stoked, but...

*I don't want to sell the farm for him
*I don't think he's actually gettable

Sad thing is I don't think this farm has enough crop to get him anyway. I mean really, who is off limits if a team in the top 3 says we will trade you parker, but we want this.

So the Jazz have absolutely nothing then.

The one thing we have is *possibly* enough assets to acquire a might be star.

It'd be like if we were at an arcade and had a bunch of tickets we won from playing games. We can either turn the tickets in for a prize, or take the tickets home and have a bunch of pieces of paper while we wait for them to miraculously turn into a prize.

Burks is not magically turning into a prize and I cannot believe that I would ever have to type that out for some.

Liked how he didn't shy from contact. Initiated a lot of it.

Burks is a prize. A good one. Just not THE prize. Hate to see him go but if that's what it takes to land The prize then let me help you pack your bags Mr. Burks.

It's way too much for JP.

Stupid.

Or when the Bulls picked Rose with the first pick cause he was from Chicago???

The fifth pick is moot

If true that they do like Randle. Then wouldn't just the 5 & 23 be enough? I thought I heard the 2017 class was as good as this one???

Sixers will ask for what they think it is worth to us. It needs to be considerably more than what it is worth to them. The league knows the Jazz will be willing to "overpay" with its current core 4 and picks for a potential superstar, and I predict we will do just that. Jazz are desperate for a superstar. Jazz will trade up at all costs, even if it is 1 spot for Exum. If they can't trade up, they will trade down. They are in no man's land right now. All the speculation about what they do with 5 is moot.

Guys, we don't need Jabari. Alec Burks is taking us to the promised land as soon as he gets to play 39 mpg with Enes and a new coach. There is no reason to trade for a real star when we have a possibly top 5 shooting guard in nobody's minds but a handful of Jazz fans high on man juice. That #23 pick is really valuable too. Don't even consider trading away a #23.
