He's young and has potential and Cousins raved about him.
Do you think the proposed trade is that far off based on what we know about team desires?
I just can't see Kanter and Cousins playing on the same team at the same time.

You want to give them Dwight Howard light (But better shooter) and Dwayne Wade light (but longer) + potentially another All-Star Player to Draft Poor Mans Melo, just because he is mormon ? (Jabari Parker)
Draft Marcus Smart, keep your roster together and let them build some chemistry. At todays Spurs, their was no Superstar or MAIN-MAN in this team. So stop the **** crying.
It's interesting. I'd do it as a Jazz fan. Move 2 first and Kanter for the #1 pick instead of Favors, and Burks(or a future 1st)What about this three-way trade with the Kings who are exploring options to trade the 8th pick? The Cavs take Wiggins at #1, Embiid slips to us at #5 where we take him and the following trade kicks in.
Cavs get 5th pick (Embiid), 8th pick (Vonleh, Randle, or Gordon may be there), 2017 GS pick
Kings get Kanter, 2015 protected (top 7) 1st from us
Jazz get 1st pick, Jack, Terry, Landry, Thompson
In essence, the Cavs get the guy they really want in Embiid but Vonleh (or Gordon or Randle) as well who he'd fit well with imo and who could act as insurance in case Embiid is plagued with these injuries. To nab those two guys and the GS pick and dump Jack is just too much to turn down if I'm the Cavs.
The Kings get Kanter (who Cousins had raved about), a projected high 1st from us, and dump about 18M in salary which was their goal in trading the 8th pick. Heck, to get Kanter and a 2015 1st back may feel great to them in the process.
The Jazz get Wiggins without giving up Favors or Burks and keep their future 1sts protected. We additionally get the vet leadership we could use.
Which of those teams doesn't do that deal?
This trade idea was a fun waste of time, but I never believed the rumor was genuine for a second. First off, look at the source it came from. Utah never leaks trades, especially to someone as far away from the org as the Deseret News.
My gut feeling is that KOCDL knew they couldn't get Wiggins no matter what, made the offer in a very loud fashion, while quietly have their eyes on a guy with just as much potential as Wiggins (Gordon). Smoke in mirrors to downplay Gordon at five so someone higher isn't as tempted to nab him.
The trade makes no damn sense for Cleveland anyway. They need a ready now player, and well, there happens to be one in the top-2 conversation.

Damn it to hell. I have watched this video a few times now and that jumper is just lookin too sweet. Very quick release.
Wiggins gonna be a star.
I LOVE me some Alec Burks, probably as much as any player ever, but damn it.... Just get wiggins. Whatever it takes. Favors, burks, #5. Whatever. Get it done
