Yep, I'd miss Burks as well.
I say the Cavs meet the Jazz halfway on this.

The accepted price: Favors, the #5 and a top-3 protected pick next season, no protection in 2016. I think the Jazz finish somewhere in the 8-12 range next year. Burks has that kind of value.
Have to remember we are giving the Cavs cap relief by taking on Jacks' $6M salary for the next three years.

Wiggins and Jack for Favors, Burks, #5, and #23? That's a ton to give up......

I don't think that was the offer. Read the quote agaim.
It was Favors, the #5 and the #23.
The Jazz then offered Burks instead of a protected pick. While it's not entirely clear how Burks name surfaced, I'm sure instead of the #23, Cleveland wanted Utah's unprotected pick next year, which WILL be a lottery pick. So then Utah said, nope, but you can have Burks instead.
 
Favors is better than Burks, at least right now. He's also more valuable. But i'd still be more upset at loosing Burks.

What does Cleveland even think of Burks? Guarantee we like him more than any other team in the league, I'm sure we could add in something that Cleveland would like more than Alec.

Completely missed the point.
They're taking on a center who is worth that contract (given what centers get these days) and is a big upgrade (pun intended) over what they have. The cap relief they need in order to offer LBJ a contract is to renounce the rights to Deng and Hawes and then get rid of Jack or Varejao. Those moves combined give them starters at each position except for SF (where they have Bennett and would lose Deng). In steps LBJ. The #5 can be used for backup. If I were the Cavs I'd use it on Gordon, who could get mins at SF behind James or at PF behind Thompson. Depending on matchups, they could start Varejao/Favors or Favors/Thompson at the 4/5.

That would be my hope. Unfortunately, I think they'd want Hayward and as the CBA would have it, we're ****ed on that front at the moment (for reasons that I don't understand [why can't you trade RFA rights?]).

Idea: players set to enter restricted free agency are allowed to be traded after the deadline of their final contract year (with their cap number being the Qualifying Offer, MLE, or cap hold number) before July 1st. The player in that instance is reserved the right to either a (cap-less) trade kicker if traded or a no-trade clause.

Literally everyone wins.

Sounds good. I think the "right" to match an offer definitely has value. And if the agent can somehow get another team to offer a ridiculous amount....well, that's the chance you took when making the deal. The only restriction I would put on that is the team making the trade cannot then sign that same player to an offer sheet during free agency.
