This number thing is hilarious.
Was just perusing the Piston's forum just to kill time and it seems they're pretty pissed off that Joe Dumars took KCP instead of Trey Burke.. some funny/GOLD comments there:
Boy, those are harsh comments.. lol.. also there are a whole lot of "oldtimers" there, lots of posters started posting in 2008. A few members have 15,000+ posts.

Detroit's fan comparing Stockton to Burke:
Now, I realize that they have different color skin and that sometimes effects perception, but as players, they are quite close.
- As athletes, they are both smaller pgs with good but not great athletic ability. They are both known to be "better athletes" with a ball in their hands than against a stopwatch.
- As competitors, they are both known for being unaffected by pressure and willing to do whatever it takes to gain an advantage.
- As players, they are both among the best in the business at the pick and roll and both have great range on accurate jump shots.
- They both seem to approach the game in a similar, linear, way. They are not creative as much as efficient and smart. They might make a play that's very difficult, but it seems calculated -- this is opposed to the OMG plays of a Chris Paul or Magic Johnson.
As far as differences, I think Burke looks more for his shot than Stockton did, but that's something that he may mature out of as he competes in the NBA and realizes that it's much harder at the higher level.

Huh? That was one of Stockton's only drawbacks. He SHOULD have scored more to take some pressure off of his teammates and also to give himself more and/or better passing opportunities (there have been some rule changes that make it more important for each player to be an offensive threat as well). A pure point that understands and can utilize an efficient and balanced scoring attack is a rare and very desirable thing.
Agreed. Didn't he shoot something like 50% from 3 point land? To me, that means he did not shoot enough 3s.

Stock definitely should have shot more. But his mentality was such that he put the needs of his team before his own. Honor before reason and all that.
Still stuck by his first question to Donyell Marshall when he met him at the airport after the trade that brought him here. His first words?
"Where do you want the ball?"
Good times, good times.

Don't let Corbin see this. He won't play him until December just to make sure Trey doesn't have unrealistic expectations coming into Utah. Wins, playoffs, personal awards...those aren't what's important in Utah. What's important is that Corbin gives vets the respect the deserve, even, actually, especially if they suck.

Those writers NUMB quoted don't know the Jazz very well. If Burke starts, I agree that he should be the early favorite to win ROY. But until we see what happens in FA, I'm going to continue to be scared out of my mind that we do something bat ****ing crazy like bring Mo back.
Solid call.

It is quite amazing, the man went from God like status to a dog because of the same player. The only thing that changed was time.
Also fun to see There were a few people down on the trade back then.

I was one of those upset when the trade was announced, but overall I've been happy with the job he's done.
