If I know the CBA correctly, it`s not even legal to trade Favors for Jack, let alone adding Burks. More needs to come back from Cleveland with Favors` new contract counting as his outgoing salary.
just need to trust our front office. If wiggins and parkers can be franchise player, cavs will trade their pick. why? cuz they are cavs.
and they will fire their gm again
and they will fire their gm again

possibly. I know in the past you could trade players straight up for draft picks. As long as teams are not past the salary cap. And I don't think either team is right now. But thew new CBA could be different.

Neither team has any cap room to speak of before the draft and it is not until July 1st that this years contracts will come off the books.
I think this rumor could be smoke screen. Jazz usually don't let the rumor go around. My sixth sense tells me that they are talking to bucks secretly

And ended up sitting at #4. Your point?

Looking more closely at it, I only think this deal would be legal if we get back Jack and Waiters/Thompson/Bennett/Gee and Karasev/Zeller and Karasev/Gee and Zeller.

I'm sure the teams can wait until July to make a trade official. Cleveland will have room at that time to absorb any additional salary.

What!? Please explain, that we would need to obtain more players from Cleveland? The Jazz have cap room so we could take on more salary than what the other team is receiving. ie. the Golden State trade last year which we traded Kevin Murphy for the three vets we got back from Golden State.

It's all about room under the cap. Utah has $1.7M and Cleveland has none. So the trade can be slightly uneven. However, Favors has a PPP restriction, which makes his trade value about $11M right now. After July 1oth it's the value of the new contract. A draft day deal would need to include Jack AND Varejao. Or Jack and Bennett.
Favors, Burks and Lucas = $14.8M
Varejao and Jack = $15.3M
Or,
Favors and Burks = $13.2M
Jack and Bennett = $11.6M
Or, the teams simply agree to finalize the trade on July 10th. In that case, all Cleveland needs to do is renounce the rights to one of their FA's in order to clear enough cap room to add Favors at $12M (the new contract) less Jack at $6.3M (or whatever he's making in the 2nd year of his deal). Then instead of draft picks, the teams are trading the "rights" to those players.
Jack as a backup to Burke wouldn't be too bad. Certainly an upgrade over Garrett or JLIII. Marvin is likely re-signed as a backup forward. Whether he plays primarily PF or SF depends on who the Jazz get with their second pick. I guess Utah would then assume Tomic is coming over to play the 5 with Gobert.
