Trade Idea (Sactown) No Jimmer

imagine 2 top 5 picks

Burke, Jimmer
Hayward, burks
Parker, McDermott
randle, Thompson
kanter, Gobert

I don't know if our starting 5 could stop anyone. Beside in that scenario you are assuming the Jazz get two of the top 3 picks. That would be nice but not realistic. Instead perhaps Embiid or Exum would be more likely.
 
Would take the 2017 unprotected first as well. Also, Jazz don't do it until draft night.

Rondo
Hayward/Rush/Green
Parker or Wigglins/Marvin/Rush
Favors/Bass
Kante/Gobernator

Screw it, give 'em the 2016 unprotected as well, and take Green n Bass for depth. Spend the MLE on a strong backup point. Eleven deep team.

Some people just love giving away picks. I am going on record Rush will NOT be with the team next year. Rumors have it that he is not working very hard and hasn't impressed the front office. How are you going to pay for all those players.

Well, would this starting 5 be a championship caliber starting lineup in 2 years?

Rondo
Hayward
Parker or Wiggins
Favors
Kanter

If so, giving up picks is worth it. Question I have is, is Rondo every going to be healthy. He has averaged 53 games played per year the last 3 years.
Paying all of them would be a problem.
 
Jeez, a lot of you are so optimistic about lottery odds and getting Parker/Wiggins.
There's a good ~36% that we get the 4th pick of the draft even if we have one of the worst records in NBA history.
 
Utah trades

Either Kanter or Favors (probably favors better fit with cousins)

For

Sacramento Trades

Their pick 2014
Jason Thompson

Favors has really surprised me in the GSW game. His offensive game is coming along really quickly now that Malone is on his ***. Kanter has also shown that he's a scorer in this league and when healthy who knows what he could do.

I'd say keep them both, and let's hope Burke develops the way we think he can and Jabari/Wiggins can push us over the hump.

By selling out 5,000 season tickets and charging them $30/more per game to watch a championship contender, and by taking in an extra fifteen million over 12 playoff games. Not to mention filling the arena on otherwise dull Wednesday nights...


Cool story on Rush, bro.
 
When is Rondo supposed to return?
He might not be ready by the trade deadline.
No way to know how good he will be.
No way I trade for him under those conditions.
Jazz have time to develop young PGs.
Burke, Neto, maybe Harrison, maybe another PG in next draft.
Rondo is just too risky right now.

Kahn, is that you?
 
Like Favors, and would rather trade Kanter. Sorry PKM, but I don't like Cusins that much because I'm not sure he'd even want to be here and think Favors might be fine staying in Utah his entire career.
