I'd still take Burke because he's the sharper passer and floor general. Both can shoot.

I don't use it much.
I think we'd all still take Burke, but we don't think he'll fall as far as #10.
BTW that Portland trade - I'd only do it if they throw in both their 2nd picks.

Which 2nd? 9, 10, or 15?

NBA sends out invitations to the Green Room.
Steve Kyler @stevekylerNBANBA teams submit their top tier to the league, from that list 14 are invited to the Draft by the league... NBA Draft in Brooklyn on the 27th...Hearing first wave of Draft Invites are in - Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Trey Burke, Otto Porter, Anthony Bennett, Victor Oladipo & Alex Len
Seven more will be invited later. Now that should be an interesting group.

Then ask them if they like Burks (a #12 is better than a #14) and the 21 for the ten and keep their 2nd.
I wonder if Schroeder & Karasev are coming over for the actual draft ceremony...
2nd-round pick.....Portland has two picks back-to-back in the 2nd round (39 & 40). They probably don't want or need both. If Portland wants the Jazz to take back a salary (Joel Freeland...who ostensibly sucks), it would make sense for Portland to add a 2nd-round pick. DX projects Nate Wolters and Archie Goodwin in those spots.
One way or another, those should be at least 7 of the top 8 picks.

My bad, should've been clearer. They have the 9th (from Timberwolfs), 10th, & 15th (from Celtics) picks in the 2nd round or the 39th, 40th, and 45th picks in the draft. No they don't want all those, they are too young already.
I like those 9-10 picks in the second round, but I wouldn't deal with Potland for any reason. They don't trade value for value, they have to win every trade. Not worth wasting my time if I was GM.
Not sold on Oladipo. He's Tony Allen with a jumpshot, nothing more.
That is pretty good.
Not as a top #5 pick though....

Generally, yes. But in this draft? Maybe.
Allen with a jumpshot and offensive upside? I'd Lonely Island if we hit that.
I didn't say that... if he has that as well, he's top pick this year.
