What's going on with Burke?

[♪alt13]

I'm confused.

Also, why do we need to ship off Burke right away? I agree if it's a choice between him and Exum, Exum every time. Shouldn't have to be said. In the long term you trade Burke. But in the short term, why not keep both? Dante is 18 years old and has little competitive experience. He's 6'6. Look at the Spurs, look at the Suns: what you need is players on the court who can move the ball. You can play two point guards, especially when one's 6'6 and apparently excitingly athletic. I say keep Burke for a season, unless you get a good deal. No reason to throw an asset away just because you got a shiny new one. Burke is still an interesting prospect.

I wanted to trade him before we picked Exum. I'm not confident that he would be worth later what he is now(he will begin to lose that lovely potential glow)

DL will get offers. He should be patient at first but ultimately I would like to see him get it done.

He is intimitated what he is.

Maybe Ronda tweeted those after Trey told on Enes and as Ronda grabbed the phone to tell Mrs Kanter about his son not being a legit Center, Mrs Kanter said "oh no you di'nt. Look hon let the boys handle this kind of jibber jabber and you worry about your cooking ok?"

HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. Now we're cross referencing what Burke said in a 20 second interview at the draft to his mother's tweets from half a season ago? Jesus. Jazz fans are lunatics.

Yeah, just wow.

The way i see it, Gobert is our only legit centre due to his size. but the way the league is going, Favors can play centre most nights, so maybe i just need to rethink what a legit centre really means.

Anthony Davis, soon to be one of the best players in the league? Yeah, me too!

This thread is embarrassing.

Did you guys hear in the draft night that he said the Jazz' biggest need is a legit Center?

What's wrong with you? A guy that just finished his rookie season shooting 38 percent from the field, 33 percent from the behind the three point line, being undersized and a liability on the defensive end talking like this? Who are you? A superstar? What a douchebag.

I always said that he could be a solid back up but no way he will ever be a legit starting PG in this league.

I hate this kids attitude and character. Definitely not what the Jazz organisation stands for!

We needed a legit PG and we finally got him. He has the size, length, quickness and potential to be a great defender at the one and two position. So happy about Exum.

I hope the Jazz trade Burke as quick as possible! He is a cancer and will destroy our team chemistry if he stays. No way I want him go be considered as a leader for this team!

I think you are WAY WAY over analyzing his comments. Perhaps he said it because he wanted the Jazz to take Embiid. Kanter and Favors both claim they are PFs and Gobert hasn't proven he is a starter so C was and is still a need. Yes, there might be some bias in his comments but what person is going to say, Yea we need a PG when he plays PG? The hate on everything Trey does is hard to understand considering how many Jazz fans were over the top when we drafted him. The kid is yes I said kid is still young and learning to play in the NBA and people want to throw him out because he tweets something stupid or he gives his opinion on basketball. Really?

Just wait for Exum to spend one in Utah and read all the comments about him which will probably be something like he is poor man's burks or smth like that.

Favors and Kanter are more of a legit C as Burke is a legit PG.

lol worst statement ever.
