I like him as a prospect but what has he done to warrant trading both Burke and Kanter for him. I can't believe how people thrash Kanter and Burke as though they haven't done anything. Both guys are certainly capable of having comparable careers as Randle. Time will tell but I wouldn't trade both guys for Randle.

I was always pretty neutral on Burke, but his leadership is definitely a huge plus to the team. He has a clear positive effect on the offense just being on the court, even if he isn't statistically playing well. I don't think his stats will ever climb that high either, so I don't think his market value will ever exceed a ridiculous number like Hayward's did and Burks' probably will.

This.
As much as I have been critical of Burke, I think we need him right now with this young bunch. Exum is NOT ready to run the team. And when the Jazz have a crappy PG, the whole team suffers. I don't think Trey is the long-term answer. But he's cheap. Not sure who the Jazz could have picked up on the FA market, but we've seen some of the veterans Utah has brought in over the past 10 years; I'd take Trey over any of them. Keep Burke until Exum is ready to take over...which could very well be right at the end of Trey's rookie contract.

I believe I had him ranked very high in my rankings in the draft thread. Absolutely love his game.

He's looked good-- most impressed with his passing. Really sets him out from the peers he's compared to
 
I'm not sure what kanter will be like in the future, but there is no reason to trade Burke. Burke, exum and burks could be a lethal guard rotation. Any way you slice it, there are 96 minutes for guards, and if hayward moves to small forward, we could have our guard rotation set.

LOL .. when I was pimping Randle before the draft EVERY MAN AND HIS DOG was criticising how he's a black hole, he doesn't know how to *** out of a double team, doesn't know how to make plays.

Dala isn't talking about Randle. Perhaps you should try reading?

LOL .. alright my bad. Randle has surprised me with his passing so far in the preseason though.

I'm sure he has. It was probably pretty hard to miss all 8 or 9 of his assists.

He's gonna be a slightly better version of Boozer. Skilled offensively (except Boozer could pass and shoot) but no defense.

As long as he was taught in college not to leave his gym bag in the hallway, I think he'll be a better all-around player than Boozer.
 
I was impressed with how he played against Cousins - Randle was actually playing nasty and hurt some dude on the Kings and when Cousins talked to him on-court Randle gave him a nasty look. ha ha.

He's going to be fun to watch but I'm glad we landed Exum (I was at the Clippers game where Exum played well and had that ridiculous and-1 after being double-teamed by Griffin and somebody else, drove last them, got fouled and scooped it in!).

Kanter has done something?


Which not moran thrashes Burke? Many of us are fine trading him b/c the position is loaded and he can be easily replaced on the open market.


As for Kanter, we can pick up stupid any day of the week. I'm surprised anyone still thinks he will turn into something great. The "it" factor clearly isn't there. Has he ever shown a single thing in 4 years to tell us otherwise? Why cling to a guy because he's big and strong (kind of strong)?

Kanter may need a change of scenery in order to get a wake up call. Humphries had a ton of talent and didn't show much in Utah. He's carved out a decent career after getting hit in the face by a big dose of reality. Maybe Enes never has his career put in jeopardy; someone is likely to pay big $ just based on what he occasionally flashes. But if he doesn't receive much interest as a FA, that may wake him up.
