"You Gotta Love It Baby" Official Jazz thread

The price to trade up just went up significantly. 1320 was talking yesterday about Utah offering #5, #23, next year's first, and Burks to get into the top 2.

[MartyFunkhouser]

Probably the opposite. The price to get Jabari just went up.

Cavs reportedly now want to work about Exum. Cavs just might be stupid enough to pick Exum with the first pick.

After last year's pick you can't put anything past them, but I still can't see them going Exum over Parker/Wiggins.

[Maximus]

SMR rejoices.

that the jazz wont even be able to get vonleh or exum at this point?

That is the Cavs are targeting Jabari Parker that it is less likely if the Cavs are interested in drafting him. Alternately, it could just mean the price is higher.

If Parker/Wiggins really go 1 and 2, then the real wild card is the 76ers. They apparently really wanted one of those two, and with them off the board who knows what direction they go. They could possibly trade out, and maybe since their desired picks are off the board that lowers the trade value for getting their slot. I have to think it would because at this point being at 3 no longer looks as attractive.

Could work out well for Milwaukee. They reportedly really like Exum. Could they get 3 and 10 out of Philly to let the 76ers get the guy they want? Then Milwaukee grabs Exum at 3 and Stauskas or McD at 10 to get the wing scoring they need. Exum, Giannis, Henson, and Sanders would form a really solid defense around Stauskus or McD.

Still not over the Cavs Lloyd Christmas hail mary...

Rumor I saw posted on CB is jazz trying to trade up by offering this years picks, next years pick, and burks. I think thats too much.

That's a deal I'd make right now to get Parker or Wiggins.

Same. I think the rumor was #5, #23, next year's first, and Burks.

The team has been acquiring assets for exactly that kind of move. Unless Snyder proves to be some kind of coaching genius, Utah doesn't need to bring in more players like Burks and Burke. They need a star.

Houston got James Harden for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two late firsts and a second. Get something done, Lindsey.

Get Kevin Love!

[Applejack]

This is all great news for the Jazz. If Embiid is around at #5, I would absolutely roll the dice with him. You're talking about getting a potentially top tier guy and only expending the #5 pick - that is completely worth the risk in my opinion.

If Embiid is snatched up before 5, then we are in the same position we were earlier.

Bring on Supersized Luc Mbah a Moute!

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

I say get Westbrook. They've got Jackson to take over at PG. Utah has cap space to also absorb Perkins' last year of his deal to give them cap relief. When possible, send OKC Hayward, Marvin, Burke, and next year's first for Westbrook and Perkins. Draft Vonleh at #5, use #23 on a shooter (Hairston), use #36 on a Euro stash, bring over Neto to pair with Garrett to back-up Westbrook.

Get a star who is under contract for 3 years and who plays hard every game.

Greg Oden is not a steal at #5

I don't think OKC could trade Westbrook, even if they thought it was a good deal. The only question for them should be, will this move win us a championship within the next 2 years. If they trade Westbrook and they don't win, they may lose Durant.
