What's new

Thank You Houdini

AB didn't pan out on the court but dude battled through injuries and carried himself well as a Jazzman. Deserves to be cheered for the rest of his career when he's playing in SL.
Definitely. He never uttered a peep publicly despite losing his starting spot to Hood, and battling back from multiple injuries only to see he didn't have a niche in the rotation. I hope Cleveland allows him to use his skills more freely. That's not a knock on Quin. Snyder's offense is designed to find bigs inside or 3's from perimeter players. Effective, if he has 3&D players, which AB is not. I hope fans give him a great welcome when he returns. He deserves it.
 
Burks is awesome and is a class act. I expect him to play well in Cleveland and to take some of diarrhea boy's minutes (plus J.R. Smith is inevitably on the move as well = more Burks minutes).

Alec Burks... Trevor Booker welcomes you into the You Will Always Be a Jazz Man Club.

Good post
 
Im legit sad to not be able to watch him in a jazz uniform anymore.
I know its had to be killing him to be on the court as little as he has been in his utah career.... hoping he gets tons of minutes in cleveland and shows what he can do when his leash is lengthened
 
It was fun, AB! Will be great to watch you in another system and see you get those easy 20s.
 
I still remember during the 2011 NBA Draft, watching highlights of AB and instantly becoming a fan of him. I saw crazy potential and have been cheering him on since then. Sadly he didnt take off like I had hoped, but the dude never quit. Let's not forget that for nearly 2 full seasons he was injured and fought his way back. Remember before his injuries (forget which year it was) he was playing 6th man of the year basketball
Never complained, never heard a bad word about him from the team. Everyone always said he was a great locker room guy. It sucks that I won't be able to cheer for him at Jazz games, but this move is probably the best for his career moving forward. Hoping he can tear it up in Cleveland and get a nice contract on a good team
