This is the first time I've thought twice about a rumored package to move up. But ultimately, if you believe you'll get a franchise player there, you have to do it. The Cavaliers arithmetic is slightly different since they already have Kyrie and have aims to land Lebron.
 
By the way, I talked to my one source today about this rumor and says it's completely legit.

It's all about room under the cap. Utah has $1.7M and Cleveland has none. However, Favors has a PPP restriction on trades, which makes his trade value about $11M. The deal would need to include Jack AND Varejao.

Favors, Burks and Lucas = $14.8M
Varejao and Jack = $15.3M

That would get it done.

Actually, no. Favors has an outgoing salary of about 10 million, but only counts as 6 million for us. PPP-contracts are pretty complicated to trade.

I voted no. I would rather include a top 3 protected first next year than Burks.

I would rather the package be different as well, but ultimately I would pull the trigger on this. I think I'd rather send out a top-3 protected pick as well. Cleveland is was asking for an unprotected pick, but that is just too much to ask. I think top-3 is an agreeable compensation for both parties.
 
After looking through some of the stuff, it doesn't sound like it's #5, Favors, Burks, for #1 and Jack. I think the base is #5 and Favors. And then Either Burks, #23, unprotected 1st. In some kind of combination.

I think if a deal like this goes down then DL has some other deals/plans in the works.

The FO is split? Who, then, is the "FO"? Does a guy like Rigby have a vote and, if so, why? I remember him implying how the coach search wasn't all Lindsey, suggesting that he has a say, as well. I'd like to see what he brings to the table. He'd probably make a poor contributor to this forum, even by JazzFanz standards.

He's the Hotttnickkk of the organization for sure.
 
Who's Rigby? srs question. See him mentioned a lot, but don't know who he is.

Only know Eleanor
 
Ah, Randy Rigby. He has a wiki page!

Seems like a business dude that shouldn't be asked for his opinions on basketball
