Realistic Burke value

would you be willing to part with anything else to get him? If so, what?

EDIT: nvm
They have Napier, CJ Watson, and Payton... not really sure why they'd want Burke unless they just knew they weren't going to commit to Evan on his next deal.

I highly doubt there would be interest. I could see the Pelicans having interest (someone above mentioned ish Smith... there is a reason he has bounced around the league for 5 years). Not sure what they have that we would want or why we'd want to help them. It might be an inside job like we did with Kanter though... send him out to destroy a competitor while picking up assets.

I think maybe we should give it a few games though. There is still hope in me that he figures it out and neto is already nicked up. We kind of need the depth.

Let's give Trey 15-20 games before making judgement here. He wasn't the sole reason we lost. Look at Brandon Jennings last year. Looked like garbage early then went on a tear before getting injured.

Honestly Jennings might be a guy to go after when he is back. I think they are locked into Jackson as a starter and like Blake as the backup. Might not be a lot of minutes for him there. We need some time to assess what we have and let some teams rotations fill out and more deals will present themselves.

Let the Jello settle guiys!

Lol
How many points per game did Evans average? How many assists for trey did Evans generate?

I wouldn't imagine a ton. Evans really didn't play much. My point was he threw some alleys to him throughout the season. Don't have an exact number but I'd guess Trey threw more alley oops to Evans than any other player that year.

I'd venture to say the Jazz could get Calderon for Burke straight up from the Knicks. Works in the trade finder. Calderon is owed 7.8 mil in '16/'17 though.

I'd rather offer Burke and a 2nd for Jerian Grant. What did you think of him pre-draft?
 
Burke just needs to embrace his roll as backup PG. It was safe to think that there was something in him after being named Player of the Year in college but he hasn't lived up to those expectations.
He can be a solid backup PG though. If he embraces this role I don't know what else you could ask from him.

Problem is that he has to become just less than dreadful in defense...
 
I wonder if OKC would take the 1st round pick (unprotected) and Trey for Cameron Payne.. They'd probably turn that down.. maybe if they threw in one of the Warriors 1sts??

This, my friends, is the definition of a troll because what you are saying is that the Knicks are a worse spot than the Jazz. First off, both teams flat out suck. You'll probably deny as a homer and fan, but the Jazz have been irrelevant for so long. The difference: Whoever plays for the Knicks, gets instant exposure playing in the spotlight in the arguably most prolific sports town in the world (ie. Jeremy Lin, who is a average at best PG). Utah... not so much.

Also, talk about me being the "sour" one - that was just a harmless post. Siro, I know you are a "Premium Subscriber" (which I am assuming means you pay for the same services I get, you just get a nice title under your name)but get off your high horse bud.

To get back to the point though, Calderon is actual trash and would be a step down from neto who atleast plays solid defense.

Oh, sports is about exposure.

Someone hand NYC the exposure championship every year. Bummer.

I would really love to get Payne. Don't see any scenario where they'd go for it. 2 first-rounders is too much. Do they have a contract that we could absorb? I know they're facing a tax burden. (But there's this whole intra-conference angle, too.)

just checked. The only contract/experiment they may want to cut bait: Dion Waiters. Yick.

Novak, would save them some dough. But yeah they won't trade Payne right now is my guess.

* Sigh * another jazz fan that either is just twisting my words or failed reading comp in grade school. Fandom aside, I much rather see Cotton on the Knicks or other high profile teams (ie. Celtics , Lakers, etc) than the Jazz as it will give him exposure. Never did I say sports is about exposure... its about winning - something that (not being a douche here) Utah can not really contribute either)
