Get three good picks out of this draft

Do we really want to get younger?

Do we really want 3 new rookies?

I would much rather have us combine resources to get us a much needed superstar.

That sounds great, but I'm not sure anyone trades out of the top 3 picks. I'm not as down on the Core5 guys as many others have been. I'd prefer to see them play for a new coach at least a year before we look to jettison them.

I'd be more than happy to see the Jazz burn picks to move up, but I'd prefer to see them just deal picks to do it. If they can't move up for Wiggins, Parker or Embiid, I'd rather see them sit tight at 5, take their highest rated player and then try to move up from 23 for another top 10 player if they can. While adding two or three new rookies might not be ideal, this team is building for the future, not to win right now. They're better off developing their young players for now, hoping one of the rookies is worth building around and the aggressively look to add another piece if they can. If Burke, Burks or Kanter actually takes a big step forward. . . all the better.

It's just my opinion, but I don't think that they can trade the farm based on potential. Gordon, Exum, Smart, Randle and Vonleh all have All star potential too. The Jazz need help all over the place. Draft well, and then take your shot when it presents itself. I'm not sure that it will this offseason.

If we can't move up using our picks then I'd like to see us trade at least 1 of them away.

We don't need 3 more rookies to go on this already uber young team.
 
Why are people all about trading Trey Burke? He's not Chris Paul or Steve Nash or even a top 10 pg right now, but he's still pretty good.

I hear what you're saying, but I wouldn't mind if they add three more rookies this year as long as they do it in a similar fashion to last year. If they stay at 5, then trade up from 23 (using 35) to get as high as possible (even if they throw in a future pick) to hopefully grab another top 10 player, and then buy a pick at the end of the 1st round using cash and future 2nd round picks. That's still 3 rookies, but it wouldn't be bad to add depth to the bench if you can land two top 10 guys and an overlooked player like Gobert to round it out.

I'd much rather see that result than staying at 5, 23 and 35. Fill out your team with young (cheap) players and improve your depth dramatically. See how the pieces fit with a new coach. Then look at adding veteran players through trades or free agency the following year. If they can't move up for a top 3 pick, that's how I'd try to play it.
 
Hayward isn't worthy of a top 10 draft pic if you trying to trad ehim to get into the top 10. Also take more then Burks and the 23rd pick to move into top 10. This is not nba live on your playstaion. God bless armchair gms

I'm not sure I'd trade Burks straight up for say a top 8-10 pick ... Hayward yes.

Btw, one of the websites discusses trading Hayward for a pick, though it doesn't make the distinction of the trade post-draft ... I would think a writer on a website would know he can't be traded until after the draft.

Used to be writers had decent knowledge. Now even some of the major websites use "contributors" to write articles, who are just fans with too much time on their hands. Any one of us could sit down and write up an article and likely get it published somewhere. Much better analysis in here than on most web sites, tbh.
