You have any ideas whom the Jazz would go after in such a blockbuster deal?
Could Trey Burke be as good as Isiah Thomas when he came off the bench for the Kings?
If so - he could have some value.
I wish I had a better idea of who they would value, but no. If they're planning on raising Kanter's trade value to flip him as an asset, they almost have to do so before the trade deadline. RFA just creates so many issues if you try to trade him. If he puts up 20-10 between now and the deadline, I can see him having significant value. I'd personally be targeting young wings on their rookie contracts to pair with Gordon Hayward, but there's nothing to suggest that anybody is looking to move a guy like that. I don't see the value in trading Kanter for peanuts, but if the Jazz aren't committed to keeping him long-term they should try to get as much value as they can. It makes more sense (to me at least) to package Kanter, Burke and multiple 1st round picks for a guy that DL believes will break out.
It all depends on their attitude towards Burke and Kanter. If they want them both, they'll just keep them and wait for a deal to come along with the assets that they still have available to burn. I could totally see that too.
No Burke isn't nearly as good as IT unfortunately. I do think its a good role for him...
It's kinda sad but passing doesn't seem to come naturally to him, he actually has to make an effort to do it. Classic example was last game IIRC when he's on a fast break with a trailing Kanter. The right play would have been to pass it to him for a dunk but he went himself and couldn't finish the layup and was fouled.
As a scoring PG he is probably best coming off the bench ala Isiah Thomas ....

Might they be interested in a certain Trey Burke?
What compensation would you want back? Outside of maybe Vonleh or Zeller, I can't think of anyone I'd really want and I don't think their draft pick is going to be worth anything. I'd say pass.

The best we'd get draft pick wise would be mid-late 1st rounder for Trey. If you were one of the other 13 lottery teams would you trade your pick for Trey Burke?
I might if I have a need for a PG and I'm in the East where it's easier to compete and Trey should thrive there.
