What's new

Trey Burke and Detroit

Really? They`re currently slotted at 10th with a massive two more wins than Orlando @5. For Burke the minimum protection they`d agree to is lottery IMO - they would be crazy to offer anything else.

Stranger things have happened, but their team is still much better than Philly, Boston, Indiana, and NY. They could realistically aim to the #8 pick, and draft another beast like Kentavius Caldwell Pope :)
 
Since this is a thread about trading away Jazz pgs to teams in need....I read that Kemba is considering season ending knee surgery.

They have Brian Roberts and Janero Pargo, who is also injured, as back-ups.
 
I'd offer Burke to an Eastern team that's top 8 protected this year and top 5 next year, but that's it. In a reserve role, he's actually been decent and he's an aggressive scorer. I just don't think that anybody is going to give up that much to get him. While he's been supplanted by Exum, he's also been a decent scorer off the bench. I could see someone still seeing value in him. Otherwise, that rookie contract is too valuable, and I have faith in Quin Snyder to get the best he can out of Burke. While I've been very happy with how the past few games have gone, I can still see Burke, Kanter and draft picks getting packaged into a blockbuster deal before the deadline. . . but those are few and far between to be made.

You have any ideas whom the Jazz would go after in such a blockbuster deal?
 
Could Trey Burke be as good as Isiah Thomas when he came off the bench for the Kings?



If so - he could have some value.

I wish I had a better idea of who they would value, but no. If they're planning on raising Kanter's trade value to flip him as an asset, they almost have to do so before the trade deadline. RFA just creates so many issues if you try to trade him. If he puts up 20-10 between now and the deadline, I can see him having significant value. I'd personally be targeting young wings on their rookie contracts to pair with Gordon Hayward, but there's nothing to suggest that anybody is looking to move a guy like that. I don't see the value in trading Kanter for peanuts, but if the Jazz aren't committed to keeping him long-term they should try to get as much value as they can. It makes more sense (to me at least) to package Kanter, Burke and multiple 1st round picks for a guy that DL believes will break out.

It all depends on their attitude towards Burke and Kanter. If they want them both, they'll just keep them and wait for a deal to come along with the assets that they still have available to burn. I could totally see that too.

No Burke isn't nearly as good as IT unfortunately. I do think its a good role for him...

I like the way you think just don't think that player is out there currently. Wing depth is low right now... Hence the reason Hayward and parsons both got big deals.

I also don't think someone opens the vault for Kanter... There are a lot of good bigs out there.

It's kinda sad but passing doesn't seem to come naturally to him, he actually has to make an effort to do it. Classic example was last game IIRC when he's on a fast break with a trailing Kanter. The right play would have been to pass it to him for a dunk but he went himself and couldn't finish the layup and was fouled.


As a scoring PG he is probably best coming off the bench ala Isiah Thomas ....

Agreed. That play pissed me off... It was the right play and you need to reward the bigs for running hard. I don't think trey is selfish... Just don't think it comes naturally.

Might they be interested in a certain Trey Burke?
