That is 10.5 per year.

Here comes the freaking out.

Awesome, I love Burks. He looks so good this year. I'm convinced we should shape our offense around him and Favors and let Burke and Hayward be facilitators and let Kanter park cars in the parking lot.

Not crazy about Gordo + Favs + Burks making ~$38mm next season... Is there another team that pays 3 average-ish starters that much money?

Not ecstatic, but not mad.

Love it Love it Love it (of course)

Not a bad price either imo. Might look like a steal in a few years.

Word.
That's probably the appropriate way to feel (taking out homerism or haterism)

Kobe, add Lakers starter, add Lakers starter

I guess paying someone 10 per year is the new 8 per year with new tv deal, looking at it that way Im happier.

In response to the Burks announcement, Kanter had this to say on twitter:

Life is a breath, Until it has received .. Life is a cage, As lies .. Life is a challenge, As far as DALI .. Mevlana

There it is.

FWIW, this trio will be paid roughly what Harden + Dwight will be paid next season. The clock is ticking for DL. Need to find some higher end talent.

I'm ok to keep Burks...but both him and Hayward, Favors are overpaid...that's the reality!

The worst thing is that very probably neither of them will ever be an All-Star!

Zach Lowe's thoughts on this:

Feel like we have to hold off evaluating these extensions till we know cap mechanics. But Kemba/Burks deals strike me as...a lot.

I like all these players, so it's hard to be mad, but it just feels like we're building a mid-tier team. Which is frustrating.

He has been shooting it well, though I get kind of frustrated with how he catches it, pauses or takes a rhythm dribble, then shoots. Seems like he makes some of his shots way harder by not pulling the trigger on the catch.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Best day in Jazz history.

 

[yamers]

kanter is really going to be trade bait at this point.

DL is striking out on every at bat.
