A backup getting paid $6M+. Overpaid. Yes, he can provide minutes, but that contract is bad. No matter how they pitch him as a player, Lindsey should be saying "salary dump, salary dump."

Jack is a nice pick up to mentor Trey and is probably still better than a few starting point guards in the league so I really would not be bothered by his contract.

I just wonder how much less we would have to give up to the Bucks to get the #2 spot instead of the Cavs for #1. Jabari or Wiggins would still be there and the cost difference could be significant. Maybe the Bucks @#2 would accept #5, #23, Burks, and next year's top 3 protected pick to just drop 3 spots. Maybe.

Deron trade was a complete surprise. He had another year + to go.

He had the remainder of that season, then a season after that that everyone was pretty sure was going to be locked out, then an opt-out and the Jazz were up against the trade deadline. They were looking at Deron possibly walking for nothing, flat-out, if they didn't make a move right then.
 
I also think this is way too much to give up for Jabari or Wiggins. That said, the one advantage they'd have over Carmelo when NYK traded for him is that if they become legitimate stars they'd still be on their rookie deals and hence vastly underpaid relative to their production.

I'd happily do Favors + 5 for Sanders + 2. There is at least some statistical evidence that Sanders, despite his possible insanity, does have a large measurable impact on team defense. I'm not sure the same can be said of Favors at this point.

This is worse than the proposed trade with Cleveland....

Wiggins and Jack for Favors, Burks, #5, and #23? That's a ton to give up......

Always good to get a fresh prospective.

Yep, I'd miss Burks as well.
I say the Cavs meet the Jazz halfway on this.

The accepted price: Favors, the #5 and a top-3 protected pick next season, no protection in 2016. I think the Jazz finish somewhere in the 8-12 range next year. Burks has that kind of value.
Have to remember we are giving the Cavs cap relief by taking on Jacks' $6M salary for the next three years.

Not really they are taking on Favors 12 million a year!!
