Would you trade #5 + Favors for the #1 pick?

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Cleveland is listening to offers for the #1 pick. Personally, I think the Jazz would have to offer Favors + #5, or something close to this, to wrest the pick away.

If Cleveland offered #1 for Favors +5, would you make that deal?

 

[Markusj]

Yep. I would do that deal in a heartbeat.

 

[d@!!0n0rcutt]

Absolutely, especially if we are keeping Kanter, Burks, and Burke out of that deal. Plus, all those draft picks.

Love Favors but as has been my stance, no one is safe if it makes the team better. This would make the team better. From what I have seen and read I think Embiid, Wiggins and Parker will all be better than Favors (or any other current jazz player).

Do the deal.

 

[cowhide]

Yes I would do it. Who would you pick? Embiid.

If you don't do the deal....yikes. I'd do Favors, Burks and the #5.

Burke
Hayward
SF
Kanter
Embiid

But I'd much rather do Kanter, Burks and #5 instead of Favors and the #5.

Burke
Hayward
SF
Favors
Embiid

Hey salary cap guys...is this possible?

Trade Favors and #5 to Bucks for #2.

Embiid/Gobert
Bosh/Kanter
Deng/Miller/Hayward
Hayward/Burks
Burke/Neto/Garrett

That is 11 players, plus the #23 and #35...13 players.

Would it be possible financially?

Salary cap aside, Bosh to Utah seems pretty unlikely.

Oh sure it is a crazy dream. Was just wondering if it is possible financially. To me that scenario is Utah just going for it.

Just a scenario to see if signing Hayward, a top free agent (like Bosh) then a Deng caliber player is in the cards...

 

[Dr. Jones]

Yes I would do it. Who would you pick? Embiid.

this is my answer as well.

Cleveland is under some pressure to win now and make the playoffs. That's why they did the trade for Deng last year.
