Jazz have "zeroed in" on Jabari Parker

According to Chris Sheridan, his draft expert on his site Joe Kotoch said the basis for trading up would be #5 and GS 17' 1st-round pick for #2. He added the Jazz don't wanna give up a young player (Favors, Kanter, Burke, Burks) to move up which is contradicting to other reports. He said the Bucks want future picks if they are going to trade down.

I think that's a no-brainer. My faith that the Warriors implode by '16-'17 is waning a bit. Maybe it shouldn't, a lot can happen between now and then.

Also loved the radio guys going " I don't know another first rounder just to move up 2 spots" It's like we've completely wiped the D-Will lottery out of our brains. Anyone else think we gave up too much when we traded both Martell Webster and Linas Kleiza for D-Will?

Because they are wanting to trade with Milwaukee to get the second pick and want to put Philadelphia at ease that Wiggins will fall to them at 3 so they don't offer Milwaukee a better package. This works if they actually DO draft Parker, or especially well if they really want Wiggins.

That wouldn't really be a smokescreen, though, if we're still really targeting him.
 
Bucks receive:
#5, #23, GS 2017

Jazz receive:
#2, OJ Mayo (cap relief).

I think the Bucks would really consider that if Exum falls to #5, I'd consider switching one of the picks with our 1st rounder next year too.

Pull the trigger.

Sign and Trade Hayward for a nice piece or something. (if not..)

Burke
Burks
Parker
Kanter
Favors

or

Burke
Hayward
Parker
Kanter
Favors

or

Burke
Burks
Hayward
Parker
Favors

Get 'er done.
 
Not saying we can definitely swing it, but where there's smoke there's fire. I'm sure our interest in Jabari is sincere. And we don have the assets to get him. Even if it means overpaying a little (which it probably will).

This could be a really exciting week.
 
Although, if we do trade up - I don't think that just the '17 1st round pick would do it. I don't think the package will include Favors or Hayward (can GH be traded right now?). But I do think it would have to include some combination (at least 3 of 4) of #5, GS in 2017, our 2015 unprotected, and/or Burks.

I hope this isn't true simply because I hope the Jazz aren't that bad with their info and desires. It's no good to smell desperate.

Furthermore, I think he's definitely below Wiggins and Embiid as a prospect. So, "zeroing in" on him seems a little... I don't know. I don't like the idea that the Jazz do that with prospects that don't project to be even a mediocre defender in the NBA and struggled against length (which isn't to say he can't improve, of course).

I agree with you here. I would do it for either Embiid or Wiggins but not Parker. The first trade which included players was horrible.

Not in the Jazz's best interest to have player's names float around in trade rumors.

Wait, aren;t you the one screaming for a #1 option?

This is the only player in the draft who can be that realistically.
 
I am already overloaded with draft rumors. I just read an article about Randle's workout in LA. Laker front office were cooing all over Randle or at least that is what the reporter was writing. I know GMs lie a lot around draft time but the media certainly follows suit. I won't believe anything until I here the Jazz call out a players name and then the draft is finished.

At this point I really don't know who the Jazz are going to pick. I think it has a better chance of being from the Gordon, Vonleh, Exum, Smart or Randle group (tier2). I think the Jazz are going to get a really good player regardless and I wouldn't be surprise if one or two of the second tier guys have just as good or better careers as the top 3.

Or Miami, OKC, Rockets, etc could have shown up!!!

I'm not complaining about our tanking job, I feel like we did the best and positioned ourselves in a good spot... Now blame the CAVS!!!
 
Smart move by the Jazz creating a bidding war between 76ers and ORL for our #5 + assets.


IMO - Jabari is totally opposite to who the 76ers want... they would rather have a young & athletic player in their roster OKC Style. In the past they've picked Noel & MCW - both not very skilled but very athletic (OKC style).


I can really see this scenario:

- Cavs pick Embiid, Bucks pick Wiggins

- 76ers pick Jabari (BPA)

- ORL pick Vonleh (or Smart)

- Jazz picks Exum, and swap: Exum + Burks + GSW '17 for Jabari


Win/Win
