Ya, weird to think Tinsley used to be one of the guys in the league with the biggest character concerns.

It's a big deal that we traded up to get Burke. It shows a commitment to a player that isn't necessarily there if you simply take some highly rated player that falls to you. A lot of people's futures are now tied to Burke, even Corbin's, who clearly played some role in the decision. It's really the best thing to happen for this kid's career. He'll have support and opportunities that many of the strictly BPA picks won't.

He's not just an asset. The organization seems genuinely excited to have snagged him.

You do realize Williams played 29 minutes per game his rookie year, more than any other point guard, right?

Still, worried:

As for whether he would be expected to start, Corbin was evasive, even though as of July 1 Burke will be the only point guard on the roster.
"One of the things that everybody will start doing," Corbin said, "they’ll look at our roster and immediately think he will start. ... He has an opportunity to be one of the guys that starts the game for us."

The more I listen to 1280 the Zone and the Michigan coaches and writers who followed Trey and the Wolverines through his career talk about him, I hear a lot of similarities to my favorite player in the NFL and a rising star in that league, Russell Wilson, Seahawks QB. The kid sounds like a winner, focused on improving his craft, and a someone you want to follow and play hard for.

If he even closely resembles Russell Wilson as far as work-ethic, drive to succeed, and intelligence for the game goes...he's going to lead the Jazz to some truly amazing things.
 
The only thing I don't like about this is that it might make the Jazz too good to get a good pick next year and let Ty go. I love the move. Easily the most excited I've been on draft night.
 
Hayward...... Kanter and burks..... Burke and gobert
Jazz drafting quite nicely lately.

Seachicken fans always getting things wrong. Actually he reminds me of my favorite nfl player Collin Kaepernick. Hard worker. Doesn't get down when something goes wrong fights back, and has a knack for willing his team to victory.

Only one way to settle this: count how many jailhouse tats he has.

Philly did fine. They got Noel and a 2014 first-round pick from NOLA of some kind.

Their backcourt took a beating though giving up J'rue Holliday.

They could only offer #11 and a 2nd-rounder to Minny, so it probably wouldn't have beat our offer.

Their team is going to be so awful next year.

Name their best player: Evan Turner? Thaddeus Young?

I heard someone on the radio say something to the effect of "noel has the godfather of nursing knee injuries to learn from in Bynum" lol.

Tinsley may start for the first month or two, just enough time for Burke to get his feet wet. Jazz like to ease in their rookies.

I think they're definitely counting on having one of the top-3 slots and saving their pick. If so, the trade is no longer lopsided. With the way the lottery is set up, I would have pushed for top-5 protection had I been their GM, just to be safe.

The Hornets gave up their pick, not the Sixers.
