back, pick at #4, tank for 2 years, and then be ready to go once Parsons' contract expires.

But I've got no issue with other teams doing dumb stuff if it helps Utah. Maybe the Jazz could take back Biedrins and Jefferson for two late first round picks instead...that'd be great.

Memphis is willing to give up the #4 pick to a team to take Chandler Parson’s

Probably would, doubt it would be enough though

There’s not many teams that can offer the combination of expiring deals, young

I would absolutely do that.

Eats up cash though

6/14/18 5:26pm

Yeah but with the #4 pick you should be able to get an immediate impact wing for relatively inexpensive.

Seriously, I would jump all over this

Agreed.

Seems like this would be a Danny Ainge-like move

There is no way the Grizzlies make that deal, right?

6/14/18 5:26pm

They’re the ones putting out there that they’re willing to dump the #4 pick if

Gotta spend money to make money. Or in this case, you've got to give up

Hypnotoad

That's a fair point.

6/14/18 5:32pm

Denver would do it.

This is where the NBA does things wrong

If you are drafting for need at any point in the first round you are doing

Hypnotoad

6/14/18 5:34pm

When you get beyond the top of the draft, its mostly a muddled mess anyway

CaliWG

6/14/18 5:39pm

I disagree with that assessment. Maybe some teams do that, but they do it

Data shows that production % compared to #1 overall by #11-30 is almost flat

CaliWG

You said value.....no value in Burks.

WJCougar

6/14/18 5:30pm

The value is that it makes contracts work and he’s an expiring deal.

RdF3

6/14/18 5:31pm

So....then the value to the Jazz is to keep Burks expiring contract?

WJCougar

6/14/18 5:32pm

Except this is a chance to get the #4 pick.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush, although with a draft pick, we don't

Tell me one team out there that would likely put together a better offer with

RdF3

6/14/18 5:38pm

Loads of teams. Bradley has no value Burks has no value . Teams in top 10 to move down

Throw one out. Let’s see.

RdF3

6/14/18 5:41pm

You really think they'd give away #4 just to unload a contract ?

Deleted

6/14/18 5:45pm

Love for parsons and 4 from Cleveland for example.

Deleted

6/14/18 5:47pm

They absolutely don’t want Kevin love. The whole point of this is to shed salary

RdF3

6/14/18 5:49pm

Why wouldn't they want to add Love? They want to win now.

There aren't giving away 4th pick In a good draft just to shed salary

It depends on if they can stomach a long rebuild. A team in it for the

Don’t forget that Memphis owes a first to Boston.

Conley, is probably harder to unload than Parsons. His contract is larger and

califcougar

6/14/18 10:49pm

The problem with this is the Jazz are typically risk averse

TNT

6/14/18 6:14pm

You'd have to give up a lot more than that to get #4.

fredetteaboutit13

6/14/18 6:15pm

That would be great, but I don't know how the Jazz could pull that off...

6/14/18 6:17pm

Absolutely
