2016 NBA Free Agency Talk

Is it bad that I would consider a Burks for Hollis-Jefferson trade? I feel like Burks just doesn't fit with our defensive mindset and RHJ certainly does and I thought, given his college flaws, he played well last year and showed a lot of promise as a 3 and d guy.

Hill-Exum
Hood-RHJ
Hayward-Johnson
Favors-Lyles-Bolomboy
Gobert-Withey

That is a legit defensive team. Lyles is the only weak spot. if he could improve, holy cow.

I think Burks is going to make people happy this season. Seems that most people think he doesn't fit or just isn't very good or whatever.

He hasn't had a ton of time in quins system. I think Burks has amazing physical tools (speed and athleticism), good size and length, and seems to just get better and better with his outside shot. He is a much more willing passer with quin at the helm too.
And he provides a skillset (very good attacking the rim) that the jazz really need and would miss if he were gone... Especially with the 2nd unit

I think quin will get him to play better defensively. He will fit in fine and I think will prove to be a better player than hollis Jefferson
 
well, so whats the point of the season now? Unless injuries happen Dubs will win it without breaking a sweat. Just sick.
 
I usually value sportsmanship very high and am not superstitious, but if somehow health would play a factor on deciding the 2017 championship in favor of the Spurs, I'd probably try to explain it with Karma.
 
Depending how forgiving some owners are, this could also have implications for the lockout.
LeBron flip-flopping between Cleveland and Miami and now LeBron joining an even bigger superteam that he just fell 1 game short of winning against them...
Some owners may push harder for a franchise player supermax now to improve more equal distribution of transcendent talent in the league.
 
What are the odds that Harrison Barnes steps away from his Dallas sheet and signs one with OKC?
 
LeBron has beaten both Durant and Curry in the Finals; he'll do it again next year.

ok, lets not be delusional. Had GSW had Durant instead of Barnes, this season finals would be a sweep. Heck if Kerr would not play Ezeli in game 7 GSW would have won.
