As much as I love him as a player, getting a top 3 pick for a guy that has never even made an All Star team (not saying it means ****, but it matters for the purposes of perceived value) is a lot to ask, even in this "weak draft."
I think that's a great deal for you guys and a nice deal for us. Bogut and Favors could potentially be the top defensive frontcourt in basketball within a couple of years. The trade off is that the Jazz do not have the potent perimeter scoring, and an Al/Bogut combo wouldn't work too well because neither can effectively guard perimeter bigs or hedge the pick and roll well enough. You have to have Favors in for defense, but who knows how good he will ever be offensively. The only way to make it work is with a high scoring wing (or two). I don't think Hayward is that, and I highly doubt we'll luck into one in the draft. Hard to fill that team out, but the prospect of a dominant defensive frontcourt is enough to sell me.
Just not enough for me to throw the 12 in as sweetener.
I love the trade and don't think it would be out of the question for the Bucks, but I always come back to the injury prone Bogut. Sure, all the games he missed he probably could have played in some, but due to tanking, etc the Bucks didn't play him. The combo of Favors, Bogut and Jefferson would be so fun to watch though.
