Also, I have been saying that Jabari is coming to the jazz for a solid year. When he comes here, works with Ksl Malone and ends up baptizing him, you all need to remember I told you it was so. Also, Jabari is going to be the best stretch four in the league, just ask fishbro. All of this has been said before and will be said again.
You do know what a bidding war is right?
Most of the time, the people doing the bidding don't hold the leverage.
But if we're willing to offer #5 + Burks + '17 GSW pick, I think we might have some leverage.

How the **** is that a win win? It looks to me like we'd be getting screwed. Just like w/ Burke, we'd be giving up a lot of assets for an overrated player. Jabari is not Lebron, Pierce or Melo. He is Jabari ****ing Parker. A 19 yr old kid who won state a couple of years in HS, and averaged 19 pts his one and only college season. Un-****ing-proven! He doesn't even have the upside that some of the others in this draft have. Exum has higher upside than him, and we're supposed to get excited because people are talking giving up Exum, Burks, and really good picks we bled for, just to nab him? If this is really the plan, DL is clearly not the man I thought he was. His value is being inflated by his religion, and not his skill set.
Or a team drafts Parker, likes him, knows how desperate the Jazz are, and demand too much, thus either fleecing the Jazz or it not working and everyone walks away unhappy.
The only time you want to look desperate in a situation of negotiation is if you're bluffing.

How is that leverage? That is us bending over and taking it.
It obviously depends how highly the Jazz values Jabari.
What would we have to give up for a potential top 10 player in the league 5 years from now? (if that's who we think Parker can be)?
If that's what the team that drafts him thinks, he is untouchable.
Well who/what would you give up for Parker?
I don't know, but I know that not likely being in a position to draft Parker means that the Jazz don't hold the leverage, and thus, seeming desperate is BAD for them. Whether they actually are or not.

Well, it looks like our prayers are working thus far.
I think that goes without saying. There's no need to pretend we're not desperate for Parker. A deal will get done when both parties are happy with what they've got - whether or not we're desperate is irrelevant because we can also say no to a deal no matter how "desperate" we seem.

Wow man no reason to bring religion into this. If you can't see that Jabari is going to be good then you are delusional.
