David Locke spoke about this on his podcasts. So here would be the trade:

Orlando gets:

Trey Burke and the 23rd pick

Utah Jazz get:

12th pick


The Jazz take Marcus Smart and maybe Nik Staukus or Rodney Hood?

Yea I don't hate it either but I would draft different people. How do we get Hood if we are taking Staukas. Both of them are late lotto picks.
 
If trading with Orlando, I would rather trade #5 and #35 for #4 to ensure getting one of the big 4. If Orlando likes Smart (2 workouts already) they might bite. I would also do #5 and #23 for #4 to get the deal done, but I wouldn't start with that option. I really feel that Exum has a good chance of fitting really well in a 3 guard rotation with Burke and Burks.

Would you start Exum at the 2?
 
lol Jazz get fleeced in that trade AINEC. Only way that makes sense is if we know that the 12th pick will be packaged with 5 + something else to move into the top 3.
 
I'd do it in a heartbeat tbh.

this trade could put the Jazz in position for Exum and McDermott(or Hood, LaVine, Stauskas, Ennis or Nurkic).

from there i'd hope the course of action is signing Isaiah Thomas, Kyle Lowry or a big offersheet for Eric Bledsoe, and a backup PG like Shaun Livingston.

If the Jazz miss on those 3 starting PG's Patty Mills isnt the worst fallback option, you hopefully can still also get a good backup PG. Garrett, Burks Exum and Hayward playing point for stretches isnt the end of the world, Neto would be in the mix aswell.

Thomas - Livingston - Garrett (Neto?)
Burks - Exum
Hayward - McDermott
Favors - (Marvin?) - Evans
Kanter - Tomic - Gobert

+ the #35 pick...

that team would attack the basket the entire game
 
So trade top 4 talent in last year's draft PLUS other assets for a 12 pick in this year's draft? The draft is deep, but it isn't THAT deep.
 
You only do this if you think Burke isn't the future and Marcus Smart is a very substantial upgrade.

What other value can you get from Burke?
 
Yeah all we need at two is skinny overrated **** who can't shoot. You guys are crazy:/
 
Among the teams that would be open to trading their lottery pick? It's highly likely that the Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Orlando Magic and Utah Jazz are all holding onto their picks

Looks like teams open to trade are the Cavs, Celtics, Lakers and Kings. Maybe pull off a deal to land the Laker or Kings pick and offer #5 and #7/8 to the Cavs for #1?

Top-4 talent in a TERRIBLE draft doesn't mean a thing. Is he top-4 in a normal year? After a year of starting would any team pick him in the top-10 this year?
 
In a heartbeat.

Why? It increases our chances of drafting a BPA at a position of need. If ORL thinks Trey could be their man, they could snag Vonleh @4, letting Exum slip to us. We take Exum @ 5, and Zach Lavine @ 12. We get two players w/ incredible amounts of upside in this draft. If nurtured correctly, either one of them could blossom into franchise caliber talent. They are both very athletic, tall and long, and truly capable of playing the 1 or 2. Lavine is also a very gifted shooter, who could be brought along slowly off the bench.

Imagine an 8 man rotation of:

Exum, Lavine
Burks, Hayward
Hayward, Marvin
Favors, Kanter
Kanter, Gobert, Favors


There is so much athleticism and length. Hayward's wingspan is a little undersized for the SF, but Exum and Lavine are oversized for their positions. Marvin can be subbed in to guard the bigger SF's, w/ Hayward at the 2. Etc.

Fill the rest of the team w/ some specialists for shooting, and for D, and this team has a lot of upside.
