Why didn't Matt Barnes sign with Utah then? Him and Utah fans seems to have a common interest of hating Derek Fisher.
Fisher was a punk when it came to the Barnes situation. Ran right to the cops.
The fact that Utah fans got upset that an average player wanted out of town is just insane.. If you treat your role players thos way how are you going treat your stars.
Kanter wanted out of town and said so. We didn't like how that went down. Kanter was dumb and followed his stupidity with some insults. But the way we feel about him compared to Fisher is not even close. Fisher used his sick daughter to leverage his way completely out of his contract based on straight up lies he told LHM and the fans. That's low down dirty scummy POS trash right there. It doesn't get any lower than that. Fisher is a horrible human being.
I told yall before the draft that Kanter wasn't very good but I kept hearing how he is going be an allstar. Maybe its time to realize I am usually right
Cut the crap abpout LHM. He was a POS too. Didn't want Dee Brown around Deron because Deron was married and Dee wasn't. Dee has never been in trouble but that what LHM said. He a real POS. Labeled Dee bad because he was black and from the inner city
I don't think it's about trust, it's more about Quin wanting to switch on defense and not worry about a 6'0 PG getting switched on a SF.
...on Jazzfanz.com... I love this message board, but this board reaches like 300 people on a regular basis tops. Get real bro, drop the attitude and just stop.My problem is that the guy has a great attitude despite playing off the bench, he is playing to his max capabilities and improving considerably, yet you create a thread calling him "garbage." If you weren't hiding behind an anonymous username and someone called you out as trash in a public forum how would you feel about it?
And Jazz fans wonder why they don't land free agents. Classic example. Calling the player they drafted after a sophomore season of college, garbage. Straight disrespectful. No fan of any team says stuff like that and as a basketball IQ not very bright. What happens if Exum doesn't ever develop a shot and s just a defensive guy? Going call him garbage too? Your mother should of taught you some manners.
Its just fun watching all the Burks haters choke on that crow in their throat.
Let's not change the subject -- you claimed that Burke plays mostly with the second string players you listed. Which is completely untrue when you look at the data on the lineups.
Yet Trey can only build his value if he plays 30 mins/per and is scoring 15-16 pts. Right now, I doubt he has much value around the league as a player coming off the bench and averaging < 12 pts.Trey will be a fine backup for about 10-15 mpg. As long as his role is bigger than that, it only means Utah is still struggling to find an offensive identity. Hopefully Trey will continue to increase his trade value, in case a legit starting PG becomes available from a team who decides to rebuild.
Prove me wrong, show me the data

This is a lost season. Utah makes the playoffs and gets swept by either SA or GS. We've learned Pleiss and Neto are garbage and Lyles should be playing in the DLeague. So what is left? May as well start Burke and see if we can get something for him. And start bringing in some DLeague guys to kick the tires and possibly find better backups than Johnson, Millsap, Withey, etc.
Really? You don't have to prove yourself though?
Burke has played 486 minutes this year.
Of those:
351 with Burks
286.5 with Booker
285 with Hayward
249 with Favors
179 with Hood
162 with Gobert
156 with Ingles

The most common five man lineup Burke has played is Burke-Burks-Hayward-Booker-Favors. This lineup has a +3.2 net rating. Next replaces Booker with Gobert and Burks with Hood, which, coincidentally, is all starters EXCEPT for Burke. That has a net of -15.2
I'll bet you're pretty young. You're not having a conversation with your wife or best friend. You're putting this out there for the world. You have no idea where it's going to go. You have no control of whether this thread is read by Trey Burke or anyone else. Would you say the same things on this forum if you weren't hiding behind anonymity? Would you say them to Trey's face?...on Jazzfanz.com... I love this message board, but this board reaches like 300 people on a regular basis tops. Get real bro, drop the attitude and just stop.
Good post.. Alec has been efficient. While Rodney uses 11 FGA's per to score 12points, It's tough to be suprised about that -15net rating..
That's just for that five man lineup. Jazz have been better overall with Hood on the floor than Burks. Burks' shooting has been pretty bad this year, with an overall awful eFG%. Only his ability to get to the line makes his TS% passable. Team actually scores 3 more points per 100 with Hood on the floor than Burks. Could be a function of Burks playing with Booker a lot, but Hood plays with Neto.
Burks is asked to do a lot for a second unit that is severely lacking talent. I'm putting an asterisk next to all of his statistics.
