That was with the assumption that the #5 was going to end up being either Aaron Gordon or Vonleh (maybe Embiid). All of the draft experts had Embiid, Wiggins, Parker and Exum in that Tier 1. If that's true then the Jazz got a Tier 1 player no need to exchange one tier 1 player for another + Hayward. If draft night would have gone down like everyone thought it would with Exum going to either the 76ers or Magic then this would be a whole different scenario and we would be talking about trading A Gordon or Vonleh + Hayward for Wiggins. But how it played out with us ending up with Exum there's no reason to go trade him.
I was pro-Gordon and wasn't surprised that he went before Exum. Actually, I would still draft Gordon if both were available at 5 and I believe there are jazzfanzers that would to the same. So I'd trade only the 5th pick plus one of the Favors/Burks/Kanter/Hayward(he wasn't tradeable though) or whoever for Wiggins. But I wouldn't trade both 5th and 23rd picks and one of the main guys for JP and I stated that when that rumors were around.
 
Ive spent too long hyping Exum in my head. That said, if we got Wiggins, it would be pretty easy for me to do the same thing.

Indifferent.

The second group would have Burks off the bench. And it's assuming Wiggins is going to be much better than Exum. It could very well end up being the other way around. Tough call.
 
I would have traded 5 and Hayward for Wiggins before the draft. I know it was not possible.
.
I'm not as sure about Exum. Really I don't know enough about him. I did not expect him to be there for the Jazz. To me it really would depend on how much Hayward will cost. If he can be had at 9-11 M I don't make this trade. If he will cost 12+ I probably do. Because at 12+ it basically is Exum for Wiggins for me, because I would not match Hayward at 12+ anyway.

Amen. Everybody saying they wouldn't do it - give it two or three days, a few Wiggins highlight videos, etc, they would be rubbing their eyes wondering if they are really awake after taking Cleveland to the woodshed like that.

(edit) I should make it clear, this is not a criticism at all - rather it's just fans doing what fans do.
 
Well, Cleveland just gave Kyrie a big contract so they might consider it dumb to grab another PG. And as a SG, Exum is good but not as impressive as him at PG. They need a big. We'd all love it if DL could work a Hayward/Kanter deal for Wiggins.
 
I'm probably stoned on Exum right now. I see a guaranteed mismatch at the PG. I've been dreaming of Exum and Burks slashing the hell out of defenses.

Exum has impressed me in interviews.

Oof. Definitely torn. But I like what ^gregbroncs^ said, too.

Me too. If we see the kid is legit, I would love Dennis to parlay Burke, Kanter and picks too if necessary into something big. The Bucks 2016 unprotected 1st rounder or something like that. Don't get me wrong. I still have hope for Burke and Kanter but their defensive inabilities, if not improved this year, make them expendable to me.
