It's supposed to be the next great class, but there's a chance Silver changes the age requirement. Even if he doesn't, I think we're being delusional if we think that pick is going to be high. Curry ain't going anywhere.

Not just Mercer. Basically after about the first 7 games of the season, or when they started playing decent teams regularly, he just wasn't that good. 44% FGs, 28% 3pt.

This crap is hilarious right?
We got people thinking Vonleh is a better pick. Holy crap that is so ridiculous.
I'll bet my Jazzfanz membership and ban myself if Jabari doesn't tear up the NBA. He is the most sure fire stud in the draft.
All in for Jabari.

I'd cringe a little at trading Burks or Kanter. I really think both could become 20 point scorers in the league (or close to it).
But yeah, I'd part ways with either if that's what it takes to get Jabari.

Burks might be the one guy on the team who still COULD blossom into a super star..NONE of the others will (sorry to burst any remaining homer dreamers' bubbles) they all have too many flaws and are not consistently good at all aspects.
I would much rather keep him, i agree. That being said, Id drive him to the air port to be able to pick Jabari.

It's a DL smokescreen.

Burks gets it done. He's a nice asset. I'd rather give up 4 future firsts, but 3 may do it.
Again if Philly, MIL or Orlando are in position to draft him, and are in love it's over. If they like Randle, Smart, or any of the other guys they might be swayed.
I know 4 picks in a STEEP slope. However, we need a spark. Jabari is that guy. If we keep our core AND add Jabari we'll be fine.
In short if we don't add Jabari we are in big trouble. I don't see any option at 5 getting us anywhere special.

I'm just not sure what Jabari is good at. Poor shooting numbers, can't pass (1 apg 2 TOsa), doesn't handle well, awful defender...9 rebs pet game though. I guess if you're drafting him to be a rebounder, you may have a shot since that seems to be the only thing he does pretty well.

I would HATE to lose burks..... but as i have said before.... i think jabariight be the best stretch 4 that the nba has ever seen.
I would cry if we traded burks but i would get over it and be excited to have jabari

Jabari is your scoring leader who you run your offense through. He will be an All Star.

I'm not giving up more than #5 and #23 to move up myself. Well, maybe I could take on some salary to grease a deal. But, if it's going to take more assets than that I just sit at #5 and be happy. Maybe even move down.

If PKM is right then I'd hold out and see what happens. If both Philly and Orlando go big then suddenly the Jazz could be looking at Parker/Exum or Wiggins/Exum depending on what goes down.
Here's a scenario based of of what we've heard so far:
Cle: Embiid
Mil: Parker
Phi: Randle
Orl: Vonleh
Uta: Wiggins/Exum
another one
Cle: Embiid
Mil: Wiggins
Phi: Randle
Orl: Vonleh
Uta: Parker/Exum
I'm enjoying this game. Anyone else want to play?

Jabariight? I like it.
0% chance two out of Wiggins/Parker/Exum are there at #5. We will be lucky if Exum is there at #5. We need to trade up to get Parker.

I think there's a slight chance Orlando goes for Smart/Vonleh, or Philly goes with Randle. But we'd have to be VERY confident that they will for us to not pull the trigger on a trade.
