Man... what a buzzkill.

You're right. Let's be rational. The Jazz simply aren't playing Burks out of spite and know that he's the only real superstar on our team but prefer veterans so they have to hide his talent by not giving him a chance.

The organization you are defending started Milt Palacio over Deron Williams.

The Jazz raved about Burks and his toughness and how he didn't back down. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and can get to the line. Ty said that he needed to find more minutes for Burks last year. Ty and the players said good things about Burks and how he has improved over the summer. Burks plays well during the preseason, clearly out playing Foye but when the season starts Foye gets playing time over Burks with no explanation. Yes Foye has a couple of good games but many games where he has played poorly. Why not give Burks a real chance at earning more minutes. If the Jazz have already given up on this kid then they either made a HUGE mistake drafting him and they simply wasted a lottery pick.

There is no way the Jazz will get anything for this guy considering he has been glued to the bench.
 
I'd trade Alec Burks in a deal for Derrick Williams. I still believe in that guy's potential, but I might be the only one.
 
Burks = CJ without a three point shot. Jazz are wise-ing up this time. Package him with Al to get rid of Al before before teams clue into what Burks really is.

p.s. Foye 43% from 3. Burks 20% from 2, 0% from 3, 20% from ft. If you wonder why Foye plays over him it's because Foye is better.
 
May be we are gonna see the same tweet from Kanter's manager that Jazz is shopping him or he wanna traded. As we all know, Corbin is so succesful to melt youngster's hopes and careers down.

Me? I'd ask for Derrick Williams, but only if I'm sure he has a motor and his shot isn't broken. I'd also offer a future pick and see if we could get Ridnour or Barea.

Edit: Oh, and I'd give them Bell.

How does Williams help this team?

So Burks/Bell/future pick

for Williams/Ridnour

Is that what you are thinking?
 
Williams would be the starting SF of the future next to Kanter and Favors. Also a back-up PF for when Millsap leaves this summer. I'm just concerned that his shooting percentage is low.

So you are not worried that he is not a SF? Interesting.
