Would you rather have Durant or the entire Grizzlies roster?

apple to oranges.

i know that durant and lebron are franchise superstar players.

hack would you trade a whole team for olawakandi? how bout kwame brown? what about darko milicic?

lol. Point taken

But that's why I'd take Jabari. He isn't busting. I'm sure of it. Wiggins, Embiid, and the rest, who knows? It's a crapshoot for sure. But I'd still be happy with Wiggins too. Roll them dice. Who wants to play it safe anyways.

I'm just gambling junkie tbh..

Yea this is a really dumb thread....


If Parker/Wiggins = LeBron/Durant then the Cavs would be the dumbest team in the whole world to trade that pick.

You love this thread.


And I don't know how to respond to your comment either. Ya, Cavs will be stupid for making this trade. Who cares! We aren't Cavs fans.

Some of you are looking at things the wrong way. Yes wiggins & parker are still unknown. Instead, think of it as a 50/50 shot at a top 5 player in the league. Maybe not lbj or durrant, but a star none-the-less.

Obviously we not talking about trading our whole team!!!

 

[str8line]

What have we seen from Wiggins or Parker that tells us they're a sure thing? Wiggins disappeared in several games and Parker is a liability on defense. I would put Exum into the grouping of possible franchise players, too...and Embiid. But I wouldn't bet our roster on any of them.

So let's say that Wiggins is roughly the equivalent to Harden in terms of general impact of the game (less offense, more defense, obviously). You still do the deal.

Not so easy to "quickly build a roster."
Jazz had two of the greatest of all time. But they couldn't build a championship roster around them, not through the draft nor free agency.

If they are doing it for Embiid, I say HELL NO. Stress fractures in a big man are DEATH... Oden and Bowie ring a bell? If Lindsey does this trade and takes Embiid, he should be fired on the spot, especially since it is almost a guarantee that Embiid will drop to at least no. 3.

But the strength of those two players were enough to win most of their games, even if they had a D-League team.

What would you rather have to start your franchise?


Durant or the entire Grizzlies Roster?

Lebron or the entire Warriors roster?

Durant or the entire Clippers Roster?

Lebron or the entire Rockets Roster?

Etc....


Obviously, the full team would be better at first, but you could quickly build a contender if you had Lebron or Durant that would be better than all those teams.

These are extreme examples of would you rather.. But I would still take Lebron or Durant over any roster except the Spurs, and maybe N.O because AD will be great soon too..

When talking about the Jazz making a trade to move up, we are talking about two pieces to a team that won 25 games.

Why are so many people having trouble with idea of trading a bunch of assets for a possible franchise player? Yes we know it's a risk because we don't know for sure how good they will be, but I can assure you that once teams know if they truly are great, we won't be able to trade for them then. And we sure as hell aren't getting them to come here via free agency. I suppose we could wait 7 years or so for Jabari, but that's not a guarantee either.

So I ask again, what's the problem here?

If Cleveland wants Favors, Burks, the 5th, and even another 1st round, then I say go for it. We'll still have plenty to work with after that. Not only that, maybe then we can start attracting free agents.

Yea if Wiggins or Parker were even close to Durrant or Lebron but they are not. Yes none of those teams won a championship but neither has Durrant. Lebron didn't win anything when he was the only great player on his team. So if we get Parker or Wiggins and lose the next four years, then the Jazz can have their Lebron moment when Wiggins or Parker..say I am taking my talents to LA or NY or Miami. Then all Jazz fans will wish they had one of those teams you mentioned.

So let's say that #5 is just as good as Parker or Wiggins would you regret making that move?

Lol not our roster and if they turn out to be superstar you regret not pull in the trigger for life.
