Go GET Teague

addictionary said:
I can cry after this happens as a Burks fan, and even an early fan of Trey Burke, but if the rumored Burke+Burks for Teague happens, that trade would be a steal. Not because I diss Burks' talent, but because of the kind of basketball he plays and it being different than the mentality of the Jazz. Burks can become even greater (hopefully healthy) somewhere else.

Don't know where you keep getting that idea. Jazz are reportedly ONLY offering Burke + Picks + other filler (Booker and/or Johnson). Not going to happen if Atlanta wants Burks thrown in.

Maybe I fell to one of Hawks' rumor guys' fake bargain leverage rumor.

I call BS. I NEVER remember conversations about Burke and Burks being max players. I'd like to see just one post that did.

I hope you remember the handwringing about how we won't be able to afford to keep our "core" that included Burke and Burks. That is the main jist of my comment. I'll see what I can dig up but this is years ago and my search capability is pretty poor.
 
Has anybody's opinion of trading basically the only scoring on our bench (Burke + Burks) changed after seeing the bench performances the past few games without either of them?

I thought he looked promising in his rookie season. But we have a much larger sample size now.

While I still like Burks, I kind of soured on him. I still think he's a nice scorer off the bench, but I no longer consider him a core piece.

I never thought trey burke looked promising or thought he was a core player.

I understand the souring on alec. I still believe he is a big part of the future. Under a good contract and a 6th man of the year candidate if healthy.
I think he is still very valuable to the jazz future

Is there any news on Burks' condition?

I have not heard anything. From what was said right after his surgery, he should be ready within the next week or two.
 
A few weeks ago he said he doesn't have a time line. He was walking out of the boot for the first time.

Saying they are "core" is a long ways from saying they are max players. Besides, I think you have to say those particular players are no longer part of the core. Exum and Hood have replaced them. And yes, to keep all 5 requires some of them to leave money on the table. Otherwise, one has to be sacrificed and replaced by a much cheaper player.

Burks would be nice to have as a 6th man, but that's probably not going to happen when his contract expires. Jazz will need that money to put towards Hood and Dante. DL will just have to find another shooter in the draft. Jazz need to try to keep their best 5 and pay them up to the cap.

That leaves about $15M for 8 more players. So 2-3 key rotation players are on rookie or vet minimum contracts(or close to it). Beyond the main 8 are picks or players making the NBA minimum.
 
Burke and Burks didnt travel with the team. Possible we plan on dealing them during the road trip and want to avoid awkwardness?
