Really? That's surprising because these types of players don't quite fit the typical Jazz player profile. If it's true, I stand corrected. I would be surprised if the Jazz would take this risk.

This is my biggest concern. Teague, Hill or Lin. If they trade for Lin, they can try to flip Burke/Booker for pick(s) or a different piece for the bench.
What about Rondo this year though?

his team isnt doing well.
is he maybe part of the problem?
didnt boston go on a big run soon as they traded him?
Here we go, here we go, HERE. WE. GO!!!!
Love him or hate him, be prepared to welcome him to the Utah Jazz!!!!

LOL .. a lot of polarising comments about the Burke & Lawson swap.
Some thinks it's a good idea, some thinks the Jazz are "dumbasses" ... LOL

The Jazz could just waive Lawson. His contract next year isn't guaranteed. Jazz are probably better off keeping Burke until the offseason if Lawson is all they can get. I presume a decent pick is involved too.

It will be my pleasure seeing go down in flames when nothing happens
So may be this is the point we haven't properly discussed.. the fact that Trey's agent might want him out of Utah and has been pressuring the Jazz to do so?
If this is the case then this explains why the Jazz are trying to sell Burke low and is trying hard to get rid of him.

Trey's agent is his dad.

It's not exactly a secret if he publicly wants him out on his Twitter account.
No, I brought it up plenty of times.
Trey, if he stays, might be the 3rd string PG and receive no playing time in his contract year. No player management team wants that.
Thanks Andy, it does make more sense when you present it like that.. LOL ..
I know DL had said that the Jazz prides itself on not 'giving up on players' and wants to be known around the League for that. But at the same time DL is obliged to honour the players' wishes somewhat. It can weigh down on the team when you have 1 unhappy player (see Kanter last year?).
If Trey or his father wants him to move on, then why fight it? DL shipped Kanter out this time last year under similar circumstances... I guess it's no surprise he's doing it again now.
I think it's just this:
Utah plans on making him the 3rd string PG next year, meaning he will get close to 0 minutes per game. That makes his trade value plummet. Might as well trade him now that his improvement curve is slightly up (even though he has cooled off since the start of the season). I dont think this is agent/player driven, it's just Utah recognizing this is the best time to deal Burke and get something worthwhile in return.

Mr Laesen can you please summarize for me? Thanks from number one fan TPP
But if that's true, can't they do that during the offseason? What's the rush in getting it done at the trade deadline this year? One could argue he could improve even more as we fight for the playoff spot plus it's not like we have 3 PGs right now, Trey is our solid backup PG so he should still be getting big minutes.
