Alec Burks + #21 for Bazz? You sure you like that deal?

I like that deal, if we get McCollum at the point, McCollum reminds me more and more of Deron Williams playing the shooting guard in college with Dee Brown at the point. No one really thought that Deron was a true point in college either, also great pnr guy! Of course CJ has a better stroke than Deron and not nearly all the drama that came with Deron. Also looking at similar sized point guards in the NBA and college stats as CJ McCollum and not just Deron Williams, but Stephen Curry as well, so if CJ McCollum can be somewhere around those two point guards, I will plum happy.

A line up of...

McCollum
Mohammed
Hayward
Kanter
Favors

Sounds good to me

I like CJ McCollum but certainly he is closer to Ben Gordon or Eric Gordon(w/o the STR) than Steph Curry or Deron.

i like him on the jazz but with Burks playing PG and him at 2, also hed guard the PG and Burks would guard the 3, while hayward guards the SG.

^^ so i think im the only person whos really firm in that.

so if thats the plan, can we please draft cj, but like i said months ago the best comparison to CJ McCollum is

Randy Foye

and the story goes KOC loved him... right? so yeah

My daughter is getting married tomorrow and we have rehearsals, pick up tuxes, etc... today.

Because it was a UK event, all of the unsolicited conversation was about UK players.. and them in the league. I didn't get much, but did get two snippets about the Jazz..

1) There have been recent talks with Philly about trading them our #21 for their two 2nd round picks. (Apparently we were trying to get their #11 but it just didn't gain any steam.)
2) Jazz seem to have their eye on McCollum.

I asked a couple people (not from the Jazz but close to a couple Jazz scouts) whether they thought the Jazz were high in Schroeder and/or Larkin. The answers seemed very lukewarm on both. Don't know that that means a damn thing.. which is why I didn't make it a 3rd and 4th item.

The Jazz WERE represented there by at least one scout.. he was pointed out to me. I twice tried to make it over to him but he seems to have left pretty early and I was never able. No Jazz FO there.

Please let this be true. Thanks for the tidbits PKM.

OK here's another one:

Jazz's #14 and #21 for Portland's #10 and #39 and #40.

Obviously we only do this if McCollum is still there at #10. Or to guarantee us Schroeder.


Who says no?

Exactly my thoughts.

Well if I'm 100% sold on McCollum I think that's actually a very cheap price to pay.

Is McCollum Ben Gordon 2.0?

CJ is longer more athletic and smooth, and more of a playmaker. He basically has a better game overall.

In CJ I see Deron with ball in hand playing with the same mentality of Curry. He uses his jumpshot as a weapon a lot like Curry does.
 
Someone mentioned it earlier, or in another thread, but I liked the idea. Trade #14 & #21 to Minny for #9, and then take on Marion for #13 (I assume this is possible, but not sure). Then we could shoot for a McCollum/Schroeder combo, or a Zeller/Schroeder combo. Someone also mentioned that McCollum is scheduled to workout for us in a couple weeks. Not sure if this has been verified, but if it's true, then McCollum's and Zeller's agents must know that the Jazz have the ability (or perhaps a contingently guaranteed trade) to move up.
 
Frankly, I'm happy if there's a player the Jazz covet and are targeting because it means they (hopefully) have a plan! That's a good thing.
 
"trading them our #21 for their two 2nd round picks"

ewww

I guess if we got Wolters and or Bongo it wouldn't be too bad.
I just down like the idea downgrading.
