NO GOD PLS NO
Burke is mandatory in any deal today - not a bad player by any means, but his shooting as well as lack of upside isn't enough to push this team anywhere (especially when Exum has a ceiling higher than Burke can jump and touch).
Hood is our punch off the bench.
Sorry Dala. Once they drafted Exum, I think this was inevitable. Just wish they'd have tried to move Kanter and Burke before last season for someone/something of real value. Probably have to sell low on both.
I understand why the Jazz traded up and drafted him, but picking Burke and letting DeMarre Carroll leave for peanuts are easily the two biggest misses from DL in Utah. Thankfully he's hit on Gobert, Hood and hopefully Exum. Also had the foresight to keep Favors, Hayward and Burks while cutting bait with Kanter.
OKC traded Jeremy Lamb to Charlotte for Matt Barnes who will be waived. Lamb was the No. 12 pick in the first round of 2012. There is gonna be a lot of movement today and the Jazz can help themselves. If this is true does that mean that Raul plays this year?
Sam Smith, NBA.com:
"Watch Utah and Trey Burke. They’re still looking for a distributing point guard. There should be someone there at No. 12, like Cameron Payne. But they could make a move if there isn’t. They believe they are just that position away from making a big move into the playoffs."

If they do that, you do so under the assumption that Payne contributes immediately and I'm not convinced he's at that point yet.

So you use a highlight of Payne doing exactly what we hate about Burke. Except of course he made the shot. But if they want a distributing PG that roll man was open for a dunk. Maybe the guy sucks and can't make that shot but if a guy comes to Utah I want him passing to Favors or Gobert there not taking an off balance 3pt shot with 2 guys on him.CAMERON PAYNE!!!
The twitter fallout from Burke's agent and his agent's wife would be the best part of any trade. They'll treat twitter like a laundromat and air all their dirty laundry.
