Sorry about that. Bad thing to say under the circumstances. Discussion is always welcome. I was saying no to that trade.

I'm just about to jump aboard the fire Corbin bandwagon. What a doofus.

Burks has been somewhat disappointing. As a prospect he was supposed to be a much better ball handler and facilitator than he has shown since he was buried on the bench this year because it's really important to play a pure rental in a year when the Jazz aren't contenders.

Please do. I respect your opinion and will feel a slight bit less dirty.

Has a Jazz rumor ever been true?

Brewer to Memphis.
Korver to Utah.
Giricek on the market.

 

[Brown Notes]

Am I the only poster who actually believes Foye is better than Burks? Cuz he is. And Burks was one of my 3 pet prospects that year.

Better 3 point shooter? Sure.
Better ballhandler? Maybe

Better at anything else? It's possible. I don't know. We have a head coach who refuses to play the #12 pick in the draft a year ago.

 

[Brown Notes]

Burks can't shoot midrange and doesn't pass or play within the, ah, "offense". Foye is better.

If, IF Burks could reliably shoot off a curl and also had shown some nifty passing I'd still be all over him.

Edit to add: That Murphy kid has a way sweeter shot than Burks. It's not like we will be gnashing our teeth missing him.
