Utah Jazz Survivor ROUND 11

[dipship31]

Tell me about what Burks has done in his NBA career.

Not a whole lot as well, but seemed like he was a lot more effective for us last year than Enes ever was. I can't remember the game last year, but I remember the starters were playing terrible and no one was being aggressive. I think we had like 4 FT attempts going into the 4th quarter. Enter Burks and we made a nice run and I think he himself got to the line 8+ times to finish the game. Kanter just never had anything like that his first year. Not a knock on him, but I just think Burks proved more last year and seems like a more safe bet for success.

 

[spycam1]

Amen.

wtf people? Kanter is locked up on a rookie deal, it's his 2nd year in the NBA, and was the #3 overall pick. He's what? 19, 20? He's definetely a more valuable asset than Millsap, who I'm 99.9% sure will be overpaid next year.

Yep.

No small market team that pays Millsap 12 million a year under the new CBA will ever be a contender. But a small market team that takes a chance on developing a #3 overall pick, who has much more potential, just might.

 

[Stifle Tower]

Amen.

Millsap has tremendous value right now as not only a player, but as an expiring contract. Production-wise, he's a top-10 PF. If Utah put him on the market, we'd get a ton of decent offers. As of right now, Kanter is a one-trick pony on offense and a solid rebounder on defense. MAYBE...HOPEFULLY...he develops. Would I trade Enes? Probably not (unless it netted a starting center in return). But Millsap and Favors would be my starters right now, not Kanter.

Bet you a hundred million billion dollars the Jazz could get more in return in a trade for Kanter than Millsap.

whether that's true or not, this isn't the only way to imagine a player as an "asset." Paul does more for the team in every way. Most of those ways don't show up in some numerical figure.

Rebounding and defense? No.

Yeah, a player's potential is also something to keep in mind. As is whether or not they're worth the payday that's coming their way.

 

[Former Member]

I voted for Paul. I think he is going to be overpaid in a year, and I'm not positive that he has the trade value that everyone thinks he does. (GM's know they are going to have to overpay to keep him).

 

[nightmare3983]

Oh.

I read in DesNews he wasn't ready. Kind of shines a new light on things.

Tell them to suck it!

On a side note, can someone make this into a 1600 x 900 wallpaper? TIA.

[nightmare3983]

Thanks for trying. I think.

 

[Nate505]

Other than Favors I get any vote for the last four guys.

I went with Kanter because I feel he has the biggest bust potential out of the other five, and because I think Sap is very useful as a 6th man on a championship team who can easily start if the time comes for it. Plus he's one of my favorite Jazz players of all time so there's that.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Pardon my sacrilege, but Millsap would be a back-up on a contending team.

 

[Dr. Jones]

This.

And save your pardoning.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Also, some day soon, it's going to click for Kanter and he's going to start getting buckets in a rapid and largely unstoppable manner.

 

[UGLI baby]

Who would you vote off if it was between Favors, Hayward, Burks, and Kanter?

yessir

Sure, but he could be a very critical backup. Jason Terry was a backup on the Mavs when they won it all, but arguably was the best player next to Dirk during their run.
