Trey Burke

I remember when people here thought he was a starting caliber PG, and then when they were wrong, they decided he would at least have a long career as a very good backup.

Welp.

You mean when our management thought he was and previous coaching staff ...

At least he's still in the NBA. I thought Jimmer might have gotten a second chance after all the noise he made over in China, but Phoenix signed him too late in the season and he kinda $H*^ the bed. Then when he wasn't getting the kind of minutes he expected in Summer League, he basically told the Warriors to go to Hell and signed with Greece. Kinda sad as he looked quite good in SL.:(

How much did he get in Greece? I thought he had a good thing going in China — good money, short season, not many games, nobody plays any defense, etc. He could stay king over there and have his face carved next to Marbury on China’s Mt. Rushmore of basketball.

Terms of the deal were undisclosed, but some speculation that he was on the high-end of Euroleague which would put him over a mil. He's had a great life, a life most of us would love to experience, and yet I know it stings that his NBA dreams are now I would think officially over.

Raul wasn't exactly an all star. He was just too frail. Way too many injuries.

David Locke’s theory is that the NBA has such amazing athletes and Neto just couldn’t keep up. He had to give it his all to be effective and ended up getting injured.

I went to the Stars game he played in. He quietly got a triple double. I’m a big Neto fan, but understand why the Jazz moved on.

Neto's one of the better 3rd stringers in the league. For the minimum he's decent value if you don't have a young guy to develop. But we had seem his ceiling. NWG is a bigger guard with more upside. Mudiay is better offensively. Better to see what either can offer. And in a pinch, we know Donovan can play the 1.

Hope Raul, Derrick and Jae get standing O's when they return. I guess Korver merits polite applause; Allen an orchestra clap. Kanter and Hayward are still dogs and should be treated accordingly. As for Trey, meh. He was what he was: a shooter in a PG's body. I still cheer for Hood and AB. And Millsap, of course, whenever they're not playing the Jazz.

It's the mark of a good team when ex-players start dotting the rosters of other teams around the league. Favors was a tough decision, but it will soon get much tougher. Can we afford to keep someone like O'Neale when Rudy and Donovan get paid $70-$80M between them? Do we have to tell Joe we can't re-sign him?
