Top Teams that could be interested in a trade for Al Jefferson?

Getting the #4 pick might not be good enough to get MKG. I see him projecting either at 2nd or 3rd pick. I think AJ + GS and Burks is WAY TOO MUCH to give up for the fourth pick. As much as people don't like AJ, he nearly is a 20/10 player. The GS pick is most likely going to be another lotto pick. Burks is still raw but he showed a lot last year. It is way to early to throw him into any deal.

Agree. All of that is too much to pick up a Robinson (like him, but not a need).

While it's an unpopular deal you have to understand that in the long run Jefferson won't net us anything (that's not a statement on his value). I know we all have a lot of invested in Burks' potential, but that's from him being around. I think if we had a year to gain that emotional attachment/baggage with someone like MKG we'd value his potential much, much higher than Burks'. We also wouldn't give much thought about the GSW pick. This is how being a fan goes and we let emotional investment bias our thoughts because we think we've got the inside scoop.

Anyhow, I'd only do it if MKG was on the table.
 
Big Al is going no where. We will not trade him this year and we will resign him for an additional three years and this board will melt down.
 
I still think there is a real shot that Big Al lands in Cleveland. I started a thread a while back outlining this issue. I think we'd need to take back Luke Walton's expiring deal, but there are a couple of picks there for us (one late first, one early second).

NOLA is another likely spot (even with Davis coming aboard).

Well the Jazz are talking something, for sure, I just don't know any details. If you recall the 'abortion' of a trade the Cavs threw out there .. but talks continue, so, maybe?

Cavs offered their 1st pick and a 2nd rounder for Favors (don't know the rest of the details, but that was the main point). Jazz said pass and no deal involving Favors. They're still talking, though, so not sure what those newer discussions are ..

Wow, I was less than a minute off.

I believe that he is referring to the draft pick for Favors. Utah shut that down.


PKM, do you have any new information about the possible Cleveland/Utah trade for the #4 pick?

No. I've tried to find out what the new talks are about, but everybody is tight-lipped .. or just really don't know.

Wait, for Favors or for favors? I'm sure you probably heard about this audibly and not in writing. Can we get some clarification?
