WOJ: Korver to Jazz for Burks and 2 second rounders

As for Fultz.

I'm feeling irritated today so sarcasm flows....

Fultz...a point gaurd who has lost the ability to play basketball or shoot but has "Potential" and an inflated contract. Sounds like a Jazzman to me.

Lol, it would have involved Burks. So, now nope.

Burks would not have been the reason for a Beal deal. If anything, Favors and Rubio and picks has more value than what Burks would have brought to the table.

For example, Favors, Rubio, Bradley and multiple 1st rounders picks for Beal and Mahinmi works out quite well for Washington especially if they move Wall as well. They would avoid the luxury and dump Mahinmi's monster terrible deal while also picking up solid players and 1st rounders for Beal.

We just traded Burks, with two picks, for what you’re saying is a bad return. What kind of value would he have had in a Washington trade?

Even listening to Locke today he was talking Burks value. He said Burks had value just not to the Cavs. He could have had a higher value to the Wiz. Favors and Burks maybe. They have a pg so they wouldn't want Rubio.

Maybe, but substitute Burks for Rubio.

While they may favor a Favors/Burks package over what else we could offer, do you think they’d prefer Favors/Burks over what other teams would offer?

Fultz and Exum are not mutually exclusive. And if we had both, they still combine to make less than half of what Chris Paul or John Wall make next year....
 
But if we are being honest, Fultz will not happen because we are in "win now" mode. He's going to want minutes that we don't have the luxury of giving. I still think he is worth the gamble.

DL is very risk adverse. Doubt he even is trying to shake that tree. He goes after the fruits that are dropping off of the trees.

I bet they check in but DL is painfully conservative.

It would be like the Lyles DM deal... he did the groundwork and it was a deal where we clearly did not pay a premium to move up... they called DL when they were on the clock.

So you throw some stuff out there that is basically a home run if it works... and hope they don’t get a better offer. Honestly I’m okay with it in this case.

Heard a bit of the Ingles interview on 1280 this morning. I would not characterize Joe's reaction to the trade as positive. The Kool-Aid sippers could argue he was neutral on the topic. Unless I missed a part I would say neutral is a stretch.

Yeah, Jingles not too enthused with the trade. I don't think it's anything about Korver, but I think Alec was a favorite of many in the locker-room. He called Alec "one biggest inspirations around the club" about how he handled his injuries and worked extremely hard to get back in shape after every single one and be ready to play whenever he was called upon. Seems like he will be missed not just by the rare irrational fan but by the players too...

He loved AB... they are friends... is he supposed to be stoked his friend is gone?

Relax, I didn't say Joe was supposed to be anything. Certainly not stoked as someone else is already Stoked and that would just create confusion.

Later today I will post a list of all the times my performance at work was enhanced after I thought management screwed one of my work friends or management replaced people just to save a few bucks.

If Ingles is really upset, that kind of pisses me off. We aren't trying to create a babysitter's club here. We are trying to win a title. Burks hasn't been part of the master plan for years. Publicly, be happy for the time you had with Burks who everybody knew was expendable. Don't publicly pout about it.

Burks still gets his $11.5 million this year regardless. It's not like the NFL and he's getting cut to save the franchise some money.
