Here come some really bad ones..... when he makes a jumper can say "nothing but net-o" or if he makes a nice pass or move or play can say "ohhh that's neet-o".
Warned you they were bad.

Raul Neto will fly to LA today to meet with agent Alton Tesch to discuss immediate future. Sounds unlikely he’s with Jazz next season.

That's what I predicted. Jazz will want vets to backup Burke for this season. Next year, with an experienced Burke, and a vet behind him, Neto will slide in as the #3 PG. And I predict Tinsley will retire and be hired as a player development coach.

If both Burke and Neto were here as rookies, the door could be open for an unnecessary pg controversy. Give Burke this season to win the team over and bring Neto in down the line. No need for both to be here right away.
LOL.. no offense bro but your predictions haven't been that accurate lately... (i.e., Mo Williams?)
I don't think that will be a problem, Neto isn't a great shooter by all accounts... he'll be better use off the bench as a slash & dish type PG.

Well Trey isn't a lock to succeed in this league either and will need to prove himself on the floor against proven nba talent. The last thing he or this team needs is any hint of a pg controversy in the beginning.
The Jazz didn't trade for Neto because they thought he was a stiff.
True..
Yea because bring in a vet like Mo Williams wouldn't lead to a PG controversy. Sorry if Burke can't beat out Neto then the Jazz either made a mistake with Burke or they underestimated Neto. I don't see any reason basketball wise to not have both in camp. Usually there are other issues like visa, contracts or financial but to keep him away to avoid a potential controversy is nonsense.
I hear you, but it's just 1 more distraction that Burke doesn't need. We need to get him acclimatized with our playbook and roster and each player's tenancies.
Also you tend to take a job more seriously if you know you're solely responsible.

Why are people so afraid of competition? If Neto beats out Burke, then FANTASTIC.
LOL.. an greatly devalued Burke? No thanks.
Let Burke succeed first this year.
Bring in Neto, if he's as good as you guys say he is, he'll become a solid backup or even challenge for starting job. By that time we could have 2 highly talented PG.
That's how you preserve value of your assets.

I'm not sure if he has a nickname, but when the Jazz buyout his contract they should say "Klatu, Verata, Neto or I think the army of the dead will awaken. Just sayin'.

Competition isn't exactly a distraction...competition is a good thing.
I would also say you'll take your job more seriously if you know that somebody is gunning for your job. I'm sure Burke is very motivated, but it's not a bad thing to push him. C'mon Nickkkkkkkk, you're better than this.
Yeah but you're then motivated by FEAR - which to me is the wrong motivation IMO.
We should be motivated by LOVE. In this case, hopefully Burke is motivate to win/improve because of his love for his teammates, love for his coaches, love for his family and ultimately love for the Utah Jazz franchise.
I would rather he wants to do that, than motivated by the fact that there is another guy "gunning" for your job.
Big difference.
Don't forget: Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to SUFFERING.

Neto won't beat out Burke. That has nothing to do with the reason why Raul will be stashed. Trey may or may not be ready to start. But one thing is certain, he's going to struggle at times. The Jazz will bring in a veteran to take some pressure off. They'll also sign Tinsley as the 3rd PG and a mentor so Trey has someone to go to for help and advice. With a vet in place as the backup - or as the starter for a few months - Trey can slide into the role, increase his minutes as he proves capable. Even Stockton and Deron didn't come in and start right away. Williams should have taken over sooner than Sloan finally let him, but even so, the first couple of months he benefitted from coming off the bench while he learned the offense.
