Joel Embiid Will be #1, If Jazz get #1

[addictionary]

If Embiid somehow falls in Jazz's hands, Favors goes. And it would be pure tragedy to me as a Favors fan. But I have nearly no doubt that the Jazz will try to go to a forward in this draft whatever it takes to keep building on the missing parts of the franchise. On top of all these, Trey Burke is the best thing the Jazz have done in the last few years and his game is more exciting to me than who the Jazz are going to draft. Not that it too does not excite.

The tank isn't over until after the trade deadline. The Jazz will move Jefferson. They will probably move one of Hayward or Burks and might move Marvin.

They could easily finish the year with 3 wins.

Some sweet honey dripping from your lips (fingertips in our situation). I bet there are people in this forum that would pay you to do that regularly to ease their pain.

Yea Embiid is my guy too. I am not saying that I predicted he would be this good but I've liked him from the beginning. I like him so much that I would trade most likely anyone on the Jazz roster to get him. Maybe Gobert, Hayward and our 2015 first draft pick and a couple second round picks could get it done. Yea I know that probable isn't going to get it done. Throw in the 2014 GS pick then. Draft Wiggins or Parker and then draft Embiid. Ok outside of getting the top 2 pick there is little chance of trading for him. :-(.

We still have the rights on Ante Tomic, why draft another big man as Embiid?

We need a SF with All-Star potential.

Cause embiid is a million times better than tomic and tomic probably will never even play for the jazz

I agree with you though about needing an all star sf more

Ok, Embiid could better than Tomic. Can you imagine Favors, Kanter, Tomic and Gobert in the Jazz roster? Honestly it would not be that bad.

Thats why i agreed that i would rather have an all star sf.

But to use tomic as the reason to not draft embiid doesnt make sense because he will probably never even be on the jazz roster.

Favors kanter and gobert are good reasons to not feel a need for embiid but tomic really doesnt factor into the discussion

Never say never....with DL surprises never end

If Corbin is still the coach, Gobert and Tomic don't sniff any real playing time until 4 seasons from now.

The Lakers will get the first pick. Minimum 3rd.

Tomic as a big buyout.

He will never play in the NBA.

You still take the best player available besides the Jazz can use Favors, Kanter or Gobert to get a SF.

I didnt say i wouldnt take best player available

I think wiggins embiid and parker are too close to call so i take wiggins or parker when positional need becomes the tiebreaker

Can you guys imagine this lineup:

PG -
SG - Kobe
SF -
PF - Love
C - Embiid

The life of a Laker fan. It wouldn't shock me if they tossed LeBron in at SF.

If ANYONE is the coach, Tomic will not sniff any real playing time. The guy is NOT coming over. If he had wanted to play in the NBA, he would not have signed his last contract. He's a somewhat big fish over in Europe. He'd be end of the bench in the NBA.

The NBA WANTS to see this happen. They will make it happen if the Lakers miss the playoffs.

Kobe is done.

Embiid has a ways to go.

Its not that scary.

This.

If Jazz hit lottery lightening then no way in hell do they take Embiid over Wiggins just to deal with the headache of being at the league's mercy in trading Favors.

If Embiid somehow raises these already already ridiculous expectations then you probably trade down for an asset and Wiggins. Get a future first top 3 protected and Wiggins. That's not a stretch.
