There's no way the Jazz trade that much to move up for Embiid. I can see a package like that for Parker/Wiggins, but not Embiid with his injury concerns. Someone may very well draft him top 5 because of the potential he's shown thus far. . . but I don't see anyone giving up a boatload of assets to do it.

Yeah I suggested this when the news first broke about Embiid's break. If I was the Cavs I'd just trade down probably twice and just take Embiid 4th or 5th.
They can trade down now with Philly who won't see Wiggins now with Embiid out of the discussion unless they trade up to 1st. Then if Parker or Exum is there at 3 they can trade down again on draft day with the Magic or you guys and pick up even more assets. And they still get Embiid without the pressure of doing so 1st overall.

LOL @ Flc thinking this package and target is more believable than the Favors + 5 for Wiggins deal.
Spencer Checketts, the dude who confirmed the Favors +5 package, is the son of Dave Checketts, the president and GM of the Jazz back in 1983, etc. Spencer said his source that confirmed it is an old GM, who is now working in a front office in the league. Spencer Checketts is a huge Favors homer, so I don't think he'd try to add credibility to this rumor unless he believed his source.

This is actually a good point - I hadn't seen the confirmation, only the Probasketballdraft.net tweet, which I assumed was some amateur journalist trying to make a name for himself.
If Spencer did confirm the Favors + 5 package with a former GM/current front office executive, I'd say that's far more likely than the NY Daily News.
Good call.

Scotty Layden is probably the source of both rumors. And the Jazz could have been a heartbeat away from Boylen. Lindsey admitted they still had guys on their list that they hadn't talked to. I think Snyder and Griffin were just too outstanding to keep dangling. Quin came in, charmed the pants off Gail and the decision was made. IIRC, there was a report that once the Jazz had narrowed the field down to the four (including Gentry and Jones) and done their 2nd round of interviews, there was a discussion over choosing from amongst those 4 or holding the position open. Have to assume the only other candidate at that point who would be in consideration would be Boylen, since he was still coaching in the Finals.

I don't think he ever said Boylen would be the next head coach, just that he was high in the list of potential coaches.

Also not reporting what he thinks just what he's heard from other sources. Sources are wrong from time to time
