Though Lawson is obviously the better player right now I wouldn't trade Burks for him.
I would rather have the cheaper player, who wants to be here.
Add in the fact that we are not winning now with or without Lawson..... lawson would be in the way of exum.... by the time we are ready to contend, Lawson would probably be about to leave utah.
And then there is the chance that Burks is a much better player in three years than he is right now..... I don't think Lawson is going to get much better than he is.
So Burks is cheaper, wants to be here, doesn't play point guard (the same position as the guy we drafted to be our franchise player), and there is a chance he will be the better player anyway.
Still a tough choice though because Lawson is really good now and Burks is just ok
Edit: Lawson also hurts the tank
Ummmm....
Preeeeeecisely... Couldn't have said it better. It's a horizontal move. Have patience with Alec 'Tre-burks' and he will be a fine player. Better than Lawson? Maybe, maybe not. But a better FIT than Lawson? Yup.
