Chad Ford & Kevin Pelton with David Locke Podcast

If the Jazz were to trade Burks and the two picks they better hit a home run. I think keeping Burks and playing him would be better than just dumping him not knowing what you have.
 
Just listened to the podcast. There was something that was brought up by everyone but then it seemed to get ignored when it came down to who would you pick, and that one thing was AGE.

Just think about it. Every member of that podcast contradicted themselves with that.

.... are you trying to talk about Bazz, but not really talk about him?

There is no player in this draft worth two first and burks. People are underrating Burks, when he played big minutes he usually produced. He is one of the few guys on our team who can create his own shot. He gets to the FT a lot and if he had stayed all four years in college this would be his class. No doubt in my mind if he was in this draft he would be a top 3 guy.

Besides you want to get a big and either a shooter or PG out of this draft. It can be done if you keep the two picks. If the Jazz like Bebe, then take him, he is a talented project and he fits a need with a third big. Or try to trade back and get two seconds for 21. Portland or Cleveland might do it. THen draft Goodwin and Ledo. You add athletes with big upside and ability to create shots. You develop Goodwin into a PG.

Sign Calderon to a two year deal
Bring in Gal from Israel
Schoerder is the third guard, he is not ready even convince him to stay in Germany one more year.

Send Goodwin to DL to develop as combo guard

Calderon/Gal/Goodwin
Burks/Ledo/Murphy
Hayward/Williams/Evans
Kanters/Evans/Bebe
Favors/Bebe/

Or the Jazz could draft Bullocks instead of Ledo so Hayward can start at the two and Bullock at the 3. This would costs the Jazz Goodwin because Bullock might not be there in the second round.

Fill the rest out with short term vets who are happy to be in the league. Tank get in top 5 for superstar. Use trades to tweak line-up in a few years after evaluating roster.

Cracks me up how this sight falls in love with players that nobody has ever seen play, and all 30 NBA teams show little interest in.

Three first round picks (including Burks) are a lot to move up in order to get into the Top 5 of this draft. Some combination of the #14 and either Burks or #21 should be enough to get into Top 5. Burks would probably be a 4-8 selection in this draft.

It was discussed for three pages even though no one ever suggested trading both picks and Burks for a top five.

Huh? You write some bizarre stuff sometimes.

What cracks me up is that you know little about what is going on? There have been several articles about GAL having interests from several NBA teams including the Jazz. Did you forget the Jazz organization wanted to bring him into camp for a tryout last year? The guy has size and BB IQ and how could he possibly be any worse than Watson and Tinsley? Besides I never said I love the guy. He is intriguing and has been very successful in his career and because his expertise is the pick n roll he might be a good fit.

*Edit*

I liked your first version better, especially the part where Gal played in the Spanish League.
