If the Jazz make a draft day trade......Predict the trade.

I'm still kind of hoping Jazz trade there pick, g.s. , okc 1st, Trey Burk for Jrue Holiday, Ryan Anderson.

Okay... I will try to play along.

Jazz sends local hero back home to the Pistons.

Jazz trades #12 + Burke + our 2nd to DET for #8 (after DET selects Winslow).

This is pretty much the best case real scenario. I'd even convert that Second rounder into the OKC pick if they wanted.

They do not want three rookies.

They will try to combine to move up, or stash the second rounders. I say if they think they have a chance for Tomic or Pleiss, they move up for Johnson. If not, they move just ahead of Indy for Turner. Unless someone starts falling.

They can include Burke, but they do not want too. Burke has the hard work, leadership, and he listens to coaches. He has those type of skills to be an All Star. Wait until he gets closer to his pontential before trading him.

You think Trey Burke has the skills to be an All Star? Really? I think he can improve a bit. But I don't see near the talent to ever be even considered for an all star team.
 
My two predictions...

Utah Out: #12, Trevor Booker, and 2016 1st with top 3 protections
Utah In: #6, Carl Landry (we stretch his contract and let him go)

Sac In: Taj Gibson and #12
Sac Out: Landry, #6

Chi In: Booker and Utah 2016 pick
Chi Out: Taj Gibson

Chicago cuts some salary and alleviates log jam. Sac gets a more proven player and moves back to select Cameron Payne. We get Hezonja or Porz... I wouldn't do this trade if both are off the board... Mudiay doesn't fit.

Second trade:

Assuming Turner or WCS falls (I don't think hes a great long-term fit with us because I don't think he can play the 4)

Utah out: #12
Utah in: #16 and the Dallas pick that Boston owns. 2016 top 7 protected for a few years then unprotected.

Boston out: #16 and the Dallas pick
Boston in: #12
 
I actually think there is 50% chance we stay at 12... I think we are either moving up or back. If I had to guess it would be back.
 
I don't think they move back. I don't see them getting the future assets worth making a drop back worthwhile, and there's better ways for Utah to get a late 1st/early 2nd round pick from this draft.

I very much see them moving up into the 20's from their 2nd round picks. That's been money for them these past two years. Hopefully the draft falls in a way that they can make it 3 for 3.

I see Boston trading up - whether it's with us or another team.

Then it should be with another team. I don't like where they're sitting and I don't think they give up much to pull it off. I'd gladly trade up to 28 if there's a guy worth moving up for, but I'm not moving out of the lottery this year. Jazz can just get that kind of player next year if they want one. I'll be shocked if they fail to make the playoffs based on how they finished the season.
 
We will either stay with the 12 or we won't. Book it.
 
The Jazz trade their rights to Anti Tomic to Dallas for the rights to Emir Preldzic.

The Jazz also trade 12 to the Celtics for the 2018 unprotected? Brooklyn 1st rounder and Evans.

That second one is pretty interesting and could happen
 
I'm gonna go with a trade up to number 9 to take Stanley Johnson. Like others have also said.

That's my prediction and hope.
 
Unless someone falls to #12 (Turner, Johnson, WCS, etc), I hope we trade whether it's up, down, or out. We're not at the point as a team where we should be drafting a role-player with a lottery pick (unless it's one that has the potential to eventually become a starting caliber player & a valuable trade chip or make a current starter expendable- which is why I could live with Oubre at #12). We should be focused on moving up for a potential impact player, down for a role player + an additional asset in order to trade for a potential/current (young) impact player in the future, or out for a current impact player/additional assets in order to trade for a potential/current impact player in the future.

I like the team's potential & feel that we are bound to be a top team in the West (regardless of what happens on Thursday), but as a small-market team, our best opportunity to acquire (& retain long-term) impact talent is thru the draft so if that opportunity doesn't present itself on Thursday, we should grab another bullet or 2 & continue to aim high in future drafts (or trades). We can acquire role-players in FA, but not impact players (without severely overpaying).
 
Suns would tradae Bledsoe/18th pick for #4. Would they trade Bledsoe for 12th? locked into his deal for 14 million a year for next 4 years. Maybe Jazz have to take on Grangers contract of 2.1 million for next year. Utah then could use Burke/G.S./OKC pics with non guaranteed deals to get additional big.

Well that was a false rumor started in a chat... also the suns have the 13th pick so I'm not really sure they would want two picks right next to each other. If we could get Bledsoe for the 12th we'd do it in a second I think... i know some don't think he's a top ten pg, but he's likely in that 10-15 tier of starting pgs... Looking at the history of our pick range there aren't many better players than that... plus he's locked up for a while.
