ESPN confident Jazz trade pick

[orangello]

I have absolutely no problem with all of that.

Holy ****...that is A LOT to offer. But I get it...it's what it will take to get us a superstar. Let's do it.

You knowledge of NBA rules and regulations are showing and it is not pretty.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO!

 

[orangello]

I may be wrong but I think we can trade him.

He's essentially under contract. He's has to play for us if we make him by matching what he gets offered. Either that, or he is signed before the deal (if possible)

But even if he can't be traded. Him not in the deal doesn't really make it not possible. It's still a lot to offer a team.

It's only possible if Hayward agrees to it and even then it cannot be completed until after June 30th. So basically, it's not going to happen.

Jazz doing a good job of getting rumors out there so nobody really knows what they want to do.

 

[orangello]

I honestly think that this could move us up in the top 3


Kanter
GS 2017 pick
GS 2 2nd rounders
Our 2015 unprotected 1st
The 5th pick
The 23rd this year

That's a lot right there, and we still have a lot left.

You could even swap Kanter out for one of our other players if they wanted something else.

Now that trade is possible but that is still paying too much.

I think you could get away with

Jazz Player
5th pick
GS 2017 pick
GS 2 2nd rounders

I think that gives you a chance with any of the top 3 picks.

And "serviceable" got us the 4th worst record in the NBA (Corbin has a lot to do with this too).

So, please again explain how keeping Burke helps us to get a championship? TIA.

I didn't want to totally re-type this so I cut and pasted from another thread - Totally disagree - Take a look at Burke's college stats. between his freshman and sophomore years he made huge improvements in his points per game, assists per game, FG%, 3FG% and free throws. this kid is driven, he will come back better and more prepared this year. he basically worked with a JV team against the varsity last year and the coaching well....

How will he improve his height and speed?

He'll never become a "serviceable" defender because he doesn't have the tools for it.

I'm high on Burke but if he is the right piece at PG remains to be seen.

Writing him off after his rookie year on a team designed to tank is very foolish.
If something clearly better comes along you take it but don't just write him off.

 

[yamers]

just draft marcus smart for gods sake.

He plays very high level defense. case in point.

burke, burks, and smart can all rotate.

easily.

now stfu.

I'm not saying write him off. Right now he is the best option the Jazz have at PG (which is a very sad state right now).

What I am saying is that if the Jazz can get another lotto pick in this draft by trading him you HAVE to do it. The Jazz lack a true star and getting two lotto picks this year is the BEST chance the team has of obtaining that star.

Even with his bad attitude and very poor outside shooting I would start Smart over Burke every game. He can at least compete defensively against starting PG's and worst case he can put his head down and get to the rim.

Why do peoe want Love but hate Carmello?

At least Carmello knows how to get to the playoffs.

I'd really hope we could do this with less. Seems like a ton to give up, but who knows.

I think a package of kanter 5, 23 and unprotected 2015 should be plenty sufficient. We will be no better than 10th worst next year and that's a stretch.

That said, chad ford this morning said in a workout yesterday Vonleh blew it out of the water and is rising on boards everywhere. Said he is in consideration at the 4th spot right now. That would push someone down that we have been coveting, but damn Vonleh might be beautiful next to favors. I would not be surprised if we just stay where we are at and see how things shake up. This could quickly turn into a 6 man draft after workouts. I think that smart and vonleh start getting top four considerations after workouts.

I would however like to see what kanter 23 and top 8 protected 2015 get us. If we could move up to 6 or 7 it's possible we could land Exum and vonleh/randle/Gordon. That would be pretty bad ***.
