The Cavs have been offered

[Enfuego]

Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, picks #5 and 23 for the #1 pick and Jarrett Jack. (via <s>@</s>SamAmicoFSO)

 

[HacheMan]

Ehhh I wouldn't take it

 

[CHOPTALK]

Not enough

 

[shdw01]

they should consult with lebron before giving any answers

 

[gtc08]

again, more people who dont follow the league thinking they know what is enough or not. this is a good deal. Favors is on the verge of breaking out similar to anthony davis. double double machine with great size who can play the 4 or 5. burks is playing 2nd fiddle to burke in utah, may or may not emerge, book is still out on him. not a big difference between 5 and 1 if you have a competent scouting department. wiggins isnt the second coming.

 

[JustinCruise]

no way

Comparing Derrick Favors to Anthony Davis?

And WE are the one's who don't follow the league gtc lol?!?

You don't trade the #1 overall pick who might be a superstar, for above average players...

Instead of being an asshole in your answer, why not just disagree and provide your reasons and be done with it?

i didnt say he was anthony davis, i said he was on the verge of breaking out similar to anthony davis. he's on the same trajectory towards being an anthony davis type player. that potential alone, along with burk, the 5 and 23 is enough for some rookie who may or may not be great.

cuz im tired of people pretending that they know about the nba talking like they know about it.

you see me talking about nhl players and trades?

look at realgm, hoopshype, boards where people actually know basketball. this is widely viewed as a good deal for both sides.

 

[JakeT.]

I'd take it if I was worried about Embiid. If Cleveland thinks he's healthy, take him. If not trade the pick.

 

[Vlad the Impaler]

So a bunch of average players for a franchise player?

And widely across the board, it is a worthless deal. Throw out pick #23, in the NBA and especially with the Cavs, that is bench player # 9. So Alex Burks and Derrick Favors to move down 4 spots and get maybe Julius Randall who I would take before Embid. I view Embid like I view the black quarterbacks. Wouldn't take them at all due to injury/ brain issues. Favors is a 13/9 player who has really only started for 1 year. He is not even the best player on his team. In the NBA, it doesn't make sense to trade the #1 pick since there is a dramatic dip in talent from Franchise player at #1 to role player at #5.

If you think Randall will be better than Parker or Wiggins, make the deal.
