A Big Move on the Horizon?

I like Burks, he is exciting to watch. But he just doesn't feel like he fits this team. Part of that is his play style and part is him just not being healthy enough to play.




For me Burks Island is a nice play to visit for a weekend but I'm not buying any property.

I won't sell my condo until he can get consistent playing time. I know he didn't fit well last year, but he needs to get on the court consistently to get his feel back. He was always a guy who took one too many dribbles, but it wasn't as bad prior to the Paul Pierce BS foul.

I'd like to see him back but I struggle to see how he gets rotation minutes. Until Hood goes out (which I don't want but it's inevitable) we won't see him unless he is taking minutes from DM or Exum, which both guys are likely ahead of him on the depth chart. I almost hope we trade him for his sakes. Dude has been a good soldier and I'd love to see him have a great career.

I think there have been rumors about them trying to dump Reggie Jackson. There was a rumor they where trying to trade him to NOLA for Alexis Ajinca and Etwaun Moore.

The disconnect for me in all of this is does Cleveland want Melo? If they do I can't see how NY isn't interested in Love for Melo... I also can't see us being so uninterested we wouldn't offer Favs and JJ or Burks for him. I think if Cleveland finally says okay LBJ we will give you Melo that we could steal Love on the cheap.

I think Houston's offer is garbage but NY's alternative is to buy the guy out or try to talk him back in to playing for them.

JJ within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

average age without JJ: 30.5
average age with JJ: 31.6

JJ pushes the average up 13 months, 6 days.

This doesn't sound right. Ya see, Joe Jesus doesn't age. So any age assigned to him should not count.

He is without beginning of days or end of years... alpha and omega.
 
One thing I have honestly thought... what if JJ scored 20 a game this year for us. If we traded Favs and started him I wouldn't put it past him.

I might start doing hot yoga...

I would be perfectly fine starting JoeJ and playing him 20mpg. 6 in the 1st, 4 in the 2nd, 4 in the 3rd and 6 in the 4th. If we run away with the game, rest him in the 4th. If we need him, play him a bit more. He could range from 16-24 per night.

As for Favors, we should trade him. Best case scenario, he plays better and gives us a deal. Worst case scenario, he plays awesome and we lose him for nothing. Realistic scenario, he plays better and he leaves. We have so much youth that we need continuity. If the plan is to play Favors a while to improve his trade value, we are risking rocking the boat mid-season. We have enough guys to platoon PF and we can't risk losing yet another asset for nothing (Hayward, Diaw, Favors).

Sure it is. I know a few people personally who do hot yoga.

I did Yoga once... I was on a beach in Hawaii and wanted to die... it might be impossible for me.

I'm just not in a hurry to trade him unless we get something good. We don't have salary concerns anymore... if he leaves then he leaves it is okay.
