Cleveland is listening to offers for the #1 pick. Personally, I think the Jazz would have to offer Favors + #5, or something close to this, to wrest the pick away.

If Cleveland offered #1 for Favors +5, would you make that deal?
 
Absolutely, especially if we are keeping Kanter, Burks, and Burke out of that deal. Plus, all those draft picks.

Love Favors but as has been my stance, no one is safe if it makes the team better. This would make the team better. From what I have seen and read I think Embiid, Wiggins and Parker will all be better than Favors (or any other current jazz player).

Do the deal.
 
If you don't do the deal....yikes. I'd do Favors, Burks and the #5.

Burke
Hayward
SF
Kanter
Embiid
 
But I'd much rather do Kanter, Burks and #5 instead of Favors and the #5.

Burke
Hayward
SF
Favors
Embiid
 
Hey salary cap guys...is this possible?

Trade Favors and #5 to Bucks for #2.

Embiid/Gobert
Bosh/Kanter
Deng/Miller/Hayward
Hayward/Burks
Burke/Neto/Garrett

That is 11 players, plus the #23 and #35...13 players.

Would it be possible financially?

Salary cap aside, Bosh to Utah seems pretty unlikely.

Oh sure it is a crazy dream. Was just wondering if it is possible financially. To me that scenario is Utah just going for it.

Just a scenario to see if signing Hayward, a top free agent (like Bosh) then a Deng caliber player is in the cards...
 
Cleveland is under some pressure to win now and make the playoffs. That's why they did the trade for Deng last year.
 
I would do the trade. I like the idea of a Favors/Vonleh 2-headed monster, but I believe in Kanter and Gobert as well. I'd take Embiid at #1.
 
I'm still too leery of the back to pick Embiid. Messed up backs are not good at all... that's what took Bird out of the game before his time, I would hate to have some dude start his career with a messed up back.

Has he cleared medical on the back? What exactly is/was wrong with it?

I think I would do the trade, but wonder if paying less for 2 or 3 would be better for us. Is there a clear #1 superstar, and if so who is it?

A healthy Embiid is the clear #1. Outside of him there is no "can't miss" or clear #1. I'd be wary of trading any good player + 5 for anybody besides a healthy Embiid.

I would do favors plus 5 for any one of wiggins, parker, or embiid
 
Cleveland desperately needs a center. They have Hawes, who is a FA and the oft-injured and aging Varejao. Zeller too, but he's not starter-quality.
Yes, Favors + the #5 is a fair trade for the #1.

And the ONLY player to select if that trade is made is Embiid. It's done with the belief you've acquired a franchise player. Then package the #23 and #35 to trade up for a SF or combo forward.
 
Yes. Love Favors, but he is heading into 5th year with little offense still. Is undersized for a C, and under-offensed for a PF. If he is a C, Gobert has the potential to hold that down for us in a very big way.

Most importantly though, we need a star. I believe in Wiggins and Embiid. I think Parker will be a star as well, just not a two-way player.

This is all true..... which is why they will not make the trade with us
