Following potential 2015 draftees

Actually seems like they might be paving the way for Kaminsky.

Right. They couldn't bank on a trade.

Frank Kaminsky worked out for Indiana, Detroit, Sac, Miami, Phx and Knicks. Not Charlotte. But doesn't matter. Hornets like him a lot.

Woj also reports Kaminsky a likely target at 9.

Or Derick favors???

Knicks get Tomic, MKG & 9 (Lyles), Charlotte gets favors, Trey Burke & 12 (Booker/Hunter) and Jazz get #4 for their choice of leftovers from Russell, Her Lasagna or Porzingas. Or something like that.

Hot diggity that is bad for us... Favors/12/Burke for number 4... dang.

Favors/Gobert/Hayward/Exum should not be moving in any reasonable deal. If they do get moved either we're hosing somebody or we got hosed.

I could see one of Burks/Hood moved, but I just see that as to me they have kind of similar roles. It actually happening seems highly unlikely due to Burks injury and moving Hood in his second year means we probably wouldn't get great value.

No. Why in the hell would the Jazz give up Favors when they have 17 picks in the next 4 drafts? Keep your core guys (Gobert, Favors, Hayward, Hood, Burks and Exum) and throw some picks at it to improve on that group. If that guy pushes someone down. . . great. But don't count on it. This group is special. Don't move on from any of them until you're forced to. Even if they trade up to 4, there's nothing that says that guy has to start. Make them earn it.
 
If the Jazz do trade Favors, that should be it. No more sweetening needed. Half this board would revolt as is.

Basically this, I'm not sure I give up any of Hayward/Favors/Gobert for any pick in the draft, yet alone #4. They are all very good players and at best we'd be picking a guy who could be better in a couple of seasons and delaying our contention.
