If a trade like this also nets a 1st rounder in next years or 2016's draft its a bit easier to digest.
The Jazz would absolutely have to be in love with a player they're confident is gettable at 14 to pull this off though.
lets say 14 is Stauskas, Rodney Hood, Elfrid Payton, or Jusuf Nurkic.
at 18 you could possibly snag Adreian Payne, maybe Zach LaVine if your lucky, With Saric's new contract and the Jazz not wanting 5 rookies, he could be an option at 18 aswell. Maybe Tyler Ennis.
at 23 you still have plenty of options, Since you hold 27 and 35 too in this scenario. Clint Capela can be stashed IIRC. PJ Hairston is shooting the ball too well in these workouts for me to trust him falling into the late 20's, so id take him in this spot.
at 27, you have options like Bogdan Bogdanovic, Walter Tavares and Damien Inglis who can be stashed. Shabazz Napier, Jordan Clarkson, KJ McDaniels, Jerami Grant and Cleanthony Early are also in play at this pick.
at 35, hopefully at least one pick is stashed already. Spencer Dinwiddie, who is coming off of an ACL tear could be an option, theres no reason to rush him back quickly, his value would be in the 1st round if he played out the year (67% TS% this year IIRC). Also at 35 Damien Inglis, Walter Tavares and Bogdan Bogdanovic could still be in play, Klimenko too.
Im not crazy about it but the Jazz could pull this off, it'd involve some Draft and Stash players and prolonged D-League stints

Locke says the Jazz are drafting Aaron Gordon. Would you rather have him or the 3 players Yahoo says the Suns will take? Just sayin.

14 - McDermott
18 - Hood
23 - McDaniels (Jazz own pick)
27 - Capella
I'd absolutely rather see the Jazz draft someone at #5 (one of Gordon, Vonleh or Exum will be there) and then try to trade around and maneuver up for the highest picks they can get. They have two decent picks (#23 and #35), a ton of cap space, cash to buy a pick and two European assets that they can barter with as well. I'd much rather see them swing for the fences and focus on quality over quantity this year.
Phoenix is probably getting a lot of calls from Brooklyn, Golden State, and NY who want picks in the draft either for specific players or as assets in deals. I don't think Phoenix will keep all their picks though unless they go Saric at 14 and have him stay in Europe (since he just signed a new 3-year deal anyways).

But not enough of a difference to impact wins/losses significantly. Burks should have received more time earlier in the season. And Kanter should have not been in the doghouse just because he played on the same unit as JLIII.

Agree. Jazz simply don't need the depth; they need quality. If, in fact, McDermott was still there at #14 (many drafts have him higher), I'd be ok with that pick. He's a good 6th man. But Gordon (or Vonleh) can vie for starting positions eventually. Hood and Capella? Throw-away picks. You can grab a veteran like Marvin Williams to fill a backup role.

Or you move up from 23/35 and/or buy a pick late like they did with Gobert. You simply don't trade away a top 5 pick in a strong draft. You take the best player you can.
