Definitely could get on board with this. I bet we do end up trading one of kanter, favors or burks, depending on who is available when we draft. It is going to be a very exciting draft day and offseason.

I agree with PKM perennial DPOY. I would trade a combo of Kanter, Burks, Burke, and any future draft pick to get it done. I wouldn't trade Favors or Hayward.
BTW, while we're on this wild Embiid hype/fantasy train...
If Parker can play as a 4 and is rich-man's Carmello/poor man's Nowitski and Embiid is a poor-man's Hakeem, and they play together, holy ****. If Gobert is still around and develops, there is literally no reason to even have Kanter or Favors.

I don't think gobert ever gets as good as either favors or kanter will ever be. But with Parker, embiid, Hayward and whoever else, he doesn't need to be that great. Just a serviceable big man is all we need.

I totally thought Favors had just another year or 2 in Utah, but he is starting to show some real offensive improvements that will begin to translate to numbers soon.
I would like to see him run the fast break ala malone, doe.(I know I know malone was the best running big man ever. I just miss it)

If you go to bed, only to miss that randle can play small forward, will you ever get to put the hypothetical front court of Parker, randle and embiid out there for the world?
Not 1, .. .not 2, ... not 3, ... not 4, ... not 5, ... not 6, ... not 7....

Seriously? Where have you been for like the last three years?
His mom is Tongan. Dad is black.
Cool story bro. Steven Adam's mom is also Tongan. Good to see the new breed of talents originating from the South Pacific (sort of).
Seems like he might have the weight of his ancestors on his shoulders - I'm starting to like this guy.

"Marcus Smart with an amazing first 11 minutes of the OSU-MEM game. 24 points, 4-5 from 3. Crazy. Ends game w/ 39 pts. Dominant"
I like the sound of that.
Should also point out that he had 5 stls as well

Check out the game logs for Jabari Parker:

Dude is a pillar of consistency.
Here's Andrew Wiggins'

His 13 pts in 30 minutes vs Iona is depressing, and is more evidence of him being passive.

Every time I click on this thread I see this and feel like your telling us to bite you. Lol. Must've been a bad day.
I know next to nothing about Embiid. If he's the next poor mans Hakeem I'm going to have to check this out. With that said... I wouldn't trade Favors and Kanter plus a pick to take that gamble. Favors is starting to make some huge strides on offense, and to me his ceiling is very high and will only get better, and is now my favorit player over Hayward seeing his potential. If we draft Wiggins or Parker, and put either with Favors, and Hayward, we have our own big three, and main ingredients for a championship run, with Kanter at a tier below, don't think Kanter is as good as the others in terms of potential, and with Favors around the next 4 years on a fabulous deal for the jazz... I think Kanter is expendable. I think Favors given more time will become more consistent with his offense over the next year or two, and a big plus is it seems he genuinely wants to be in Utah. I have to imagine Favors agent advised him not to sign an extension because he could've easily gotten more from Utah or another team in Free-agency, (hello Hayward) yet Favors chose to give Utah a discount taking less money. Favors in his prime will get us 17/12/4/3. Instead of trading our entire front line and picks for an unproven talent... Let's build around this potential big three, and work toward a chip.

Yeah, but this scares me. I am firmly settled on the Parker Bandwagon and afraid that Parker will go #1 to anyone. If this be the case, we have only a 25% chance of getting him and that is only if we continue to suck worse than anyone else.

Agreed.
Looks like I'll be holding my breath for more than just the inversion this year.
