I wish we could.

Jazz
Burke
Hayward
Jabari
Kanter
Favors
Bucks
Exum
Burks/Knight
Antetokounmpo
Ilyasova
Sanders
Do the bucks only do it if Exum is there at #5 though?

It's so basic you would think neither the Cavs , Bucks, or Sixers trade out the top 3. If you can turn Burks, 5th and 23th picks into any one of the top 3 I think they have to. Of course I'm really starting to warm up to Aaron Gordon.

Me too. Would Burks, the #5 pick, and possibly the #23 pick be enough to move into the top 3? We moved into the top 3 in 2005 with a similar package to get Deron Williams. You then obviously draft Jabari Parker. I could see the Jazz making a trade with Milwaukee to do this. We agree to a trade: the Bucks take Parker at #2 for us and we take Exum at #5 for them. We then trade Exum's rights, Alec Burks, and the #23 pick for the rights to Parker and filler to make the contracts match.

Exum may not be there at 5. I'd rather draft Exum or Vonleh and use other other assets to acquire additional picks or players. I wonder what we could get for Favors, Burke, Burks and next years GS pick.

Depends upon who Orlando takes at 4. I really think that they are going to take either Marcus Smart or Vonleh (if they go big and take a PG with their 2nd lottery pick). I think that Embiid is going #1 to Cleveland, and Wiggins is going #3 to Philly.

I don't like it. Alec Burks has some known elite skills, getting to the rack and drawing fouls, and we really only saw him play last season, where he put up 18 pts per 36 in a reserved and conservative role in a slow paced offense that is harder for his style of play.
Burks had some really impressive college #'s as well.

His per 40 in his sophomore season had him putting up 26.1 pts per game, and getting to the line over 10.1 x a contest!!!! I demand to see the kid in a faster tempo offense, higher up the totem pole, and as a starter before we trade him away.

This seems like the most likely scenario if you guys are going to get Parker. As Philly seem dead set on taking Wiggins and I think the Cavs are pretty set on Embiid even with all the posterioring.
I could see the Bucks trying to pass on Mayo's contract as well especially if they think the Jazz are desperate. You guys have the cap space to do so.
Of course you hope have to hope that the Bucks are equally interested in any combo of Smart, Vonleh, Gordon, or Randle as Orlando is subject to take Exum themselves.
