Are the Jazz gonna trade for Nerlens Noel?

Yes. I would trade Favors for #1 this year and the Cavs top pick next year.

Not because Noel is better.. but because I believe Noel + next year top 7 is better.
 
Hypothetical (I doubt either team would do it).

If we unloaded Favors for Noel and the Cavs first next year.. and we ended up having, say, a 8 next year.... we could conceivably end up with both Andrew Harrison and Jabari Parker.

Would I trade Favors for Noel, Andrew Harrison .. and a 'better' Jazz pick next year and snag Parker? Yeah.

I agree. I think Favors is great, but I worry about his offensive game. If I could move Favors for Noel, Parker and Harrison I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Obviously, the reason to hesitate on this is because we can't be guaranteed a top 3 pick from the Cavs. However, I'd probably do it, too. And I'm quite possibly the biggest Favors homer on here.

But there's no way the Cavs are giving us their unprotected 2014 pick.
 
If Noel didn't blow out the knee, I consider it. His defensive instincts were off the chart. I don't think he'll have the body to guard the bigger centers one on one, but he'll be a terror on pick and roll defense and will have no problem switching on anyone. Favors doesn't quite give you that much versatility.

Good summary.

I also like how springy he is off the floor.. but, yeah, his strength will be an issue for a couple years.
 
Noel earned a lot of respect when he got 6 blocks in a game AFTER the point he only had one more foul to give. Ended that game with 12 blocks against #16 Mississippi.

At that point in the season he was averaging 10pts, 10rbs, 5blks, 5asts, and 2.5stls... that was about 14 games into the season.

for who? Burke?

Yep. He's a keeper.


CHA are in a world of trouble right now. They need a lot of talent/players, and yet they only have 1 pick this year. Frankly, I think they're getting desperate. We've got to hit them where it hurts.
 
I'm probably trolling now, but I predict Nerlens Noel's career will end when Enes Kanter posts him up.

I agree. There's no franchise player in this draft.. they'd be well served to trade #4 for a later pick and proven player or multiple picks.

Scratch that..

Lindsey just went on the radio and said "Kevin and I agree that we'll take the player who will be the best OVER THE COURSE OF THEIR CAREER, rather than the positional need".

If we're honest with ourselves, I think Burke is around the #7 spot talent wise, int his draft... so yes #4 would be a stretch.

I think Charlotte and Cleveland are looking for a "name" to sell. That's why it would take someone like Favors, who they can sell as the best player in the draft or another really good young player.

I still say, Favors, Burks and a pick this year for Cleveland or Charlotte's pick this year and next. I don't if they do it, unless they are getting desperate.

Although this makes me less optimistic we'll take Schroeder at #14, hopefully it also means we won't be taking Larkin.
