Is anyone sad we missed out on Aaron Gordon?

[bjunior]

This what AKMVP posted on Realgm Orlando site:

I am so mad at Orlando for snatching Gordon... He had two excellent workouts for Utah and me and numerous Jazz fans were hoping he will end up with us.... But your GM outsmarted ours and avoided that overrated new "Tzikitishvili" from Australia. Why, why on Earth you guys did not save us from that disaster...Gordon is sure bet to be ALL star while that bust will be back in kangaroo land in no time... why Jazz always screw up in the draft.... Dwill over Paul, Hayward over George, Kanter over JV, Burks over Leonard... and now **** Exum....we could have at least had Smart who killed Exum in U19 chamnpionship..
Sorry for venting guys, you got amazing player in Gordon.

Kabenac here is your rep back...to heck with AKMVP.

internet is full of dudes like this

How about this. Let's assume that this was hypothetically possible (which it's not)... The Magic call up and offer Gordon for Hayward straight up, do you do that?

Now, reverse the scenario. Let's assume they drafted Exum and they call us up and offer Exum for Burke, or Burk. Do you do that?

Which of those two would make you more excited?

I think we got the right pick myself.

No because I think Utah got a better player. Gordon was 4th on my board behind Wiggins, Parker and Exum.

So when Burke made that game-winning shot against Orlando and many of us were freaking out - in essence - he saved us from Gordon and delivered us Exum.

Apples to oranges.
Let's say they call us up and offer Gordon and Payton for Exum and Hood...straight up.
Which deal do you take?

I know Payton was a high pick, but I take Exum/Hood without even needing to give it 5 seconds thought.

With the team that we have? Exum and Hood. I think Exum will be better than Gordon and Hood feels a very huge need. Floor spreading shooter. Then what is the difference in talent between Exum & Burke v. Payton & Burke?

The only one in that group that has the potential to be a superstar is Exum.
