If the Jazz make a draft day trade......Predict the trade.

I see Boston trading up - whether it's with us or another team.

Then it should be with another team. I don't like where they're sitting and I don't think they give up much to pull it off. I'd gladly trade up to 28 if there's a guy worth moving up for, but I'm not moving out of the lottery this year. Jazz can just get that kind of player next year if they want one. I'll be shocked if they fail to make the playoffs based on how they finished the season.
 
We will either stay with the 12 or we won't. Book it.
 
The Jazz trade their rights to Anti Tomic to Dallas for the rights to Emir Preldzic.

The Jazz also trade 12 to the Celtics for the 2018 unprotected? Brooklyn 1st rounder and Evans.

That second one is pretty interesting and could happen
 
I'm gonna go with a trade up to number 9 to take Stanley Johnson. Like others have also said.

That's my prediction and hope.
 
Unless someone falls to #12 (Turner, Johnson, WCS, etc), I hope we trade whether it's up, down, or out. We're not at the point as a team where we should be drafting a role-player with a lottery pick (unless it's one that has the potential to eventually become a starting caliber player & a valuable trade chip or make a current starter expendable- which is why I could live with Oubre at #12). We should be focused on moving up for a potential impact player, down for a role player + an additional asset in order to trade for a potential/current (young) impact player in the future, or out for a current impact player/additional assets in order to trade for a potential/current impact player in the future.

I like the team's potential & feel that we are bound to be a top team in the West (regardless of what happens on Thursday), but as a small-market team, our best opportunity to acquire (& retain long-term) impact talent is thru the draft so if that opportunity doesn't present itself on Thursday, we should grab another bullet or 2 & continue to aim high in future drafts (or trades). We can acquire role-players in FA, but not impact players (without severely overpaying).
 
Suns would tradae Bledsoe/18th pick for #4. Would they trade Bledsoe for 12th? locked into his deal for 14 million a year for next 4 years. Maybe Jazz have to take on Grangers contract of 2.1 million for next year. Utah then could use Burke/G.S./OKC pics with non guaranteed deals to get additional big.

Well that was a false rumor started in a chat... also the suns have the 13th pick so I'm not really sure they would want two picks right next to each other. If we could get Bledsoe for the 12th we'd do it in a second I think... i know some don't think he's a top ten pg, but he's likely in that 10-15 tier of starting pgs... Looking at the history of our pick range there aren't many better players than that... plus he's locked up for a while.
