Burks for Fultz?

Would you do it?

Salaries are close, Burks is an expiring which frees things up for Philly. And I think he’d fit with that team pretty well tbh.

Fultz disappears from the public eye for a bit and rebuilds his game with Jonnie Bryant.

Worth the risk? Would Philly even consider it? Would we?
 
I think Philly wants more (if they are even willing to trade Fultz), but I'm not sold he is what we lack. Is he an upgrade over Exum? Over Grayson? Seems like we would have a few too many projects for a team wanting to be relevant now.

Burks would seem to be a great addition for Philly because he is an expiring scorer. There are reports today that Philly is interested in Caldwell-Pope. Burks would seem to be that same type player.

Not sure how much more they can get. Anthony Bennett isn’t worth much on the trade market these days, Fultz is on the same path.

I don’t think the fit is great. But he’s a #1 pick talent wise, and those aren’t available very often. And in Utah you have to look closely at those kinds of opportunities. If the team thinks Burks is gone after the year then it’s basically a $10 million cap hold for the opportunity to try and fix him.

The training staff would have to decide if they think it’s worth it.

Very small chance it happens, but I thought it actually made some sense for Philly. And Utah development staff is great.
 
that's an interesting idea. On paper the jazz should do it, since I really doubt Burks comes back after this year. And I think Fultz needs a change of scenery. But, from what I've heard, that dude's head seems totally gone.

I have no idea whether Philly entertains this. If they do, that obviously tells you how far into the tank his stock is.
 
I doubt EB gives up on Fultz that quickly. I realize Fultz wasn't "his" pick; but Brand was a #1 pick who was unceremoniously traded early in his career by his team - I can't see him doing that to one of his own.

Plus does any other GM want Fultz? He's emotionally fragile - what does a trade do to this kid's confidence?
 
I'd be happy with trading Exum or Burks. AB would be a great fit there too.

Burks won't be returning and I've already expressed my thoughts on the Exum/Quin dynamic.

Utah offers great development and a chance to get out of that spotlight.

Utah would be like a sanctuary for Fultz away from national coverage. I would take the chance but I think philly wants more.

I agree. Maybe it's just what he needs. I think if you have a chance at a young #1 pick you take a risk.
 
That’s it!! All yalls are idiots!!! I don’t want that headache on this team, it’s 100% guaranteed he becomes the all time whipping boy on jazzfanz. We are in win now mode, we already have Allen we are trying to develop, and he’s further along in his development as a rookie then gilts is as a second year player that starts. I mean how the **** do you double clutch an ft, AN FT?!?!

Before you develop his game you have to develop his ****ing brain!! Is there even anything left of it to put back together? At this point his brain has to look like pea soup, Hell it might just be a single pea.
 
Personally, I think we should be looking at Korkmaz. Philly didnt pick up his option so he is unrestricted this summer. He is a young shooter who won't get time with Philly this year. They would love an expiring Burks over Korkmaz, and I think our development staff could turn Korkmaz into a valuable shooter off the bench. Korkmaz is different than Exum, Grayson, any other wing we have.

Something like Muscala and Korkmaz for Burks works. Philly has 2 extra 2nd rounders this summer. If we could get one of those too...

No.

We're going into the playoffs and beating GSW. Durant will join the Jazz cause he joins whoever beats him in the playoffs then we're signing Mirotic or Middleton in the off-season and winning the next 7 championships

Donovan/Rubio/Exum
Ingles/Royce/Allen
Mirotic/Thabo
Durant/Jae
Gobert/Udoh

We thought GSW was a nightmare for teams on spacing. Games over with that

Exum and Burks for Fultz, easily. I'm not sure if Fultz will ever become a star player but I'm 100% sure Exum and Burks won't.

And you'll still be calling losses in the first quarter.
