Would you consider trading the draft pick to Utah for Rudy Gobert and their draft pick? I would love to have Russell and Stein, but Gobert and Russell might work just fine too.

I guess most of you don't know much about Gobert.

http://insider.espn.go.com/nbadraft/results/player/_/id/19730/rudy-gobert

Gobert (7-1, 245, France) has appeared in 45 games (eight starts) for the Jazz, averaging 6.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 blocks in 21.6 minutes. He has registered seven double-doubles this season, including a 16 point/11 rebound effort vs. Golden State on Jan. 13. The 2013 first-round pick (27th overall) grabbed a career-high 18 rebounds at San Antonio on Jan. 18. He also has recorded three-or-more blocks in 18 contests this season.

Depends what pick we end up with. There are people out there who like Towns over Okafor. Personally, I like Cauley Stein in the top 5.

Russell Russell and more Russell

i don't think utah would just swap and give up someone like gobert... they'd probably ask for the pick outright...

Okafor isnt the only guy in this draft. You have mudiay towns and russell along with others

Personally, I believe Utah would trade Gobert if we were to offer them the number one pick. Assuming they end up with the 5th pick, and we have the first; you wouldn't consider moving the first pick for Gobert and the 5th pick? We could use the 5th pick to perhaps select Towns or Russell if available.

dont think we are allowed to trade this pick. As long as we are in the top 4 we will be in good shape

We are we would just have to make the pick first.
