#1 Pick to Utah?

[bigmike]

Bananas.

I posted yesterday that I'd be stunned if Fave was part of a deal to move up. Still would be. But it looks like we really are going balls out for Jabari. Hell, I'd prefer Wiggins at #1 too (ever so slightly) but Jabari to the Jazz just seems meant to be.

The guy said additional salary coming to the Jazz. Tristin thompson or waiters? Varanasi?

Omfg. If kanter is not moved in an additional trade we would be ****ed

Probably Jarrett Jack is my guess.

1) Not even cleveland would trade out of the top 3.
2) If this happened, you pick Embiid.

Embiid at #1? Did you just come out of a cave?

The more I think about this, the more I'd be pretty darn excited to get Wiggins or Jabari!

It seems like most people don't want Jabari... Would Utah fans boo a Wiggins pick. Not that it matters to me. I like Wiggins better.

If you want Embiid just stay at 5. With his foot and back he's got a great chance to be there.

I can't say. There are more pieces involved though. Anthony Bennett and his salary are one.

Interesting... I could see Cleveland doing this and trying to parlay #5, Bennett (probably has value to some), Thompson, and Karasev for Love... seems better than the GSW package.

Why would you take Embiid at 1 when you might be able to have him at 5?

You do realize he has a broken foot, right?

They certainly have a lot of trash and busts they would like to off load.

If this deal gets done, Cavs might actually be doing something really smart. They'd get Favors from us, and the could potentially still snag Embiid, the guy they wanted, at 5 now, and just sit Embiid like Philly did Noel.

Me thinks so

News today is that Embiid <cough> <borchardt> <cough> has a stress fracture in his foot and Cleveland wants a big man.

I'd be happy with either.

 

[Ron Mexico]

Wish they wanted Kanter...

 

[Ron Mexico]

But probably worth it to do Favors, I am on the Wiggins wagon.

And I'm sure the Jazz countered with Kanter. But if you are Cleveland, you don't do that deal.

It's a great move for Cavs.
They get a starting center in Favors and can still gamble on Embiid.
Jazz get Parker or Wiggins and still have a starting center in Kanter.
