Following potential 2015 draftees

The Jazz might believe Porzingis can also play defense. Crazier things have happened.

I can't help but think the Jazz are going to entertain a discussion with the Knicks about moving Favors for the #4 pick. If they think this Porzingis guy is going to be awesome, I think DL has the balls to make that deal.

It won't go away for me.

If I was running the show the only player I trade Favors for is KAT. Porzingis looks intriguing but he has too many questions surrounding him for me to feel comfortable trading away Favors.

I really think if the Jazz trade up its probably for Porzingis, maybe Hezonja.. So moving Favors, who's markedly better than Tristan Thompson and will be paid a good chunk less, doesn't make much sense at-all.

Ima just post this right here, brought this mixtape up in a thread about the most impressive HS mixtapes on youtube recently. Most of these 5 star, top-rated HS bigs nowadays can't hold a candle next to this ****.

Also; Does anyone remember being on the "Jazz should pick Jerian Grant in the 2nd round" train last year other than me? (just wondering, I can't remember. I kinda feel like people didnt pay it much mind since it wasn't being confirmed by the draft sites...)

It is crazy and I think DL agrees with you. Favors plus a few picks for KAT is the only way I move him.

Are you tooting your own horn to yourself?

I can't believe how many here are considering trading a 4 year vet, who is only 23, who is a great defender, good on offense and improving, Great teammate, and improving every year for a complete unknown rookie, who makes gobert look chunky when the Jazz are on the doorstep to the playoffs and are starting to develop chemistry as a team.

Sorry for the run on sentence (not really).

It would take #12 and Favors for #4, would you do that? The only other deal close to that value would be Bledsoe and #13. Hill and #11 isn't even close. That's about it, imo.

Favors plus 12 for 4 is just stupid. Not saying you are, but the thought of it makes me cringe.

This is such a great post.

IMO Grant will be one of those guys who sticks in this draft. I have a feeling about this kid. I don't know if 12 is too high for him but at the end of 8 years I'm guessing that Grant will still be a very productive player in the league over many other higher draft picks.

It doesn't concern you that Grant was bad until he was 21 and playing much younger players?

I almost posted that same thing lol.

I only remember you having Len as the best player in the draft.

I think the Jazz would entertain the same deal even if their target were Hezonja. They reportedly really like him too. Don't underestimate the significance of Gobert's emergence at the 5.

They would have to be totally sold on those guys, but they're both about 20 and would develop together with Gobert and Exum. Assuming those guys all pan out, you've really got something.

I'm sure the Jazz would offer Burks, Hood, 12, future picks, etc. and put off the idea of trading Derrick Favors, but if the Knicks are working out guys like Lyles, Kaminsky and now Looney, it's because the Knicks are targeting someone specific on the Heat, Pacers, Jazz, and/or Suns.

We can also rid them of the Calderon contract... don't think the other teams in that range can. We could offer a hoard of picks... our 2016 first top 3 protected, #12, GSW 2017 pick which would give them some flexibility when free agency comes to make deals depending on how FA goes for them.

Say they used #12 to draft Cameron Payne... Say they sign Monroe and Carroll, but still need a PF... they could offer cap space (if they have any left) and our 2016 pick to Chicago for Taj Gibson. It would allow them added flexibility with their roster composition.

If you are NY and Phil Jackson would you rather have Porzingis and Calderon or Payne, Gibson, and the 2017 GSW pick? I don't think Phil want a project so if they draft to keep the player I think it will be WCS.

I wouldn't offer favors... If the phx deal is indeed on the table that would likely be NY best option imo.
