Another Trade with Minnesota?

[The Midnight]

If you want to instill some Mexican into Burke, the Jazz are better off keeping Earl Watson (whose maternal grandparents are from Mexico...). Barea is Puerto Rican.

Hahaha..

Barea is Puerto Rican.

Wouldn't it be cool if Barea could instill a little bit of annoying puerto rican tricks into Burke?

John Stockton?

I don't think of him as a backup. Ever! You don't say that about the greatest pure pg to ever play the game.

That's like saying something like Kobe was a backup.

I think many here are missing the point. If the Jazz are going to take on any extra salary for any team it will cost them their pick in 2014. If that us too high an asking price then the Jazz should move on.

There is no point in "helping" other teams with cap issues unless it nets them a 2014 first round pick. Someone will eventually bite.

Exactly. Or the team gives us a starter/6th man they can no longer afford but we can use. Or we do take a salary dump but it also costs them a good young prospect (for a team that doesn't have a decent 2014 pick).

The Jazz are over the cap until July 1. They can't absorb Ridnour's contract.

Do the deal in principle just like the Boston Nets trade!!

[Getting Traded]

Barea plays too much one-on-one for my taste. I watched a lot of Minny last year and when it was last shot time at the end of quarters, he was like Mo, taking ridiculous shots and never looking to pass. I'd take Ridnour over him.

Ridnour is apparently getting strong interest from teams so a 2nd rounder might not do it anymore.
