He mentions the Jazz as a possible suitor for Sacramento's #7.
 
I wouldn't be either thrilled or pissed.
I would bet Burke is the target for a move up.

"The Jazz, in particular, have been looking to move up and like McCollum, so that's one plausible scenario."

He has Burke going to New Orleans #6.

I've seen all that.. I'm just never really sold on what gets fed the media.
 
2 picks plus burks is too much for anyone in this draft.

2 picks for 7 would be hard enough to swallow, but if we got a star then it would be great.
 
is #14 & #21 enough to move up to #7

FWIW Sacramento is rumored to like a couple of guys projected later in the draft, Snell and Hardaway Jr. They are trying to move Jimmer for a second 1st round pick. It's possible, I guess, they would be interested in trading 7 for 14 and 21. Don't know who we would be after, but I'm guessing Burke, McCollum or Zeller.

Don't know if we can count on getting a star at #7, but I'd be happy with a solid starter. Jazz have 4 rotation players right now (yes, I'm putting Burks in that category...at least as a backup), add 1 more in the draft, two at the deadline with our cap space and 1 more in next years draft. That's a total of 8. Add in young support players or low-level FA's as needed.

So you agree that 14 + 21 is ok but adding burks is too much?
 
Even if the Jazz are as desperate to ship out Burks as all of you guys are, they would be idotic to do it now after they spent an entire season driving his trade value straight into the ground.
 
Isaiah Canaan is the reason Murray St. was ever ranked in the Top-25 in the past two years. Do I like Canaan over Schroeder? No. Do I like Canaan over Larkin? No. Do I like Canaan at #21 if Schroeder, Larkin are gone and the Jazz went somewhere else besides a point guard at #14? Yes.

Definitely. Burks is undervalued right now due to his lack of playing time. Corbin saw to that. Jazz would be selling low if they traded Alec. Perhaps Burks ISN'T the answer at SG. But I think he COULD be a good asset to dangle at the trade deadline if a team is looking to trade a very good veteran starter (i.e. with a high salary) and wants a young player with value in return. But Burks will only have that value once he's given playing time.
