**Breaking** Trey Burke being discussed in Trades!!!!

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think Trey is going to have a decent Mario Chalmers-type career, but yeah, it's obvious he's in discussions being held out the last 4 games.

I will always love you.

 

[Jazz and Utes]

Gotta be excited some teams out there are interested in what we Jazz fans perceive to be one of our least valuable asset though?

It's not that, but I don't like getting my hopes up which often happens this time of year. And rarely translates to anything.

I think we could get a late 1st. Strong backup pg's and srong backup 5's are always a premium come the trade deadline for teams making a legit run.

I'm going to guess he's worth something around the 16th-20th pick. That's what I would value him at. The dude is a weapon and can score. Plus he's unrestricted and they can match him if another team tries to pry him away once his contract is up.

Think of teams that would actuality want him. What would they be willing to give up?

commiserations dude. I liked the improvement he's made this year. If only he was even 6-4

Burke has improved but if someone gives him $8-10 million in 2017 we simply can't afford him. It hurts us now, no doubt, there will be games Neto only scores 4 points, and who knows what Green is but its probably not much.

This was fairly obvious... If you'd watched trey play the last few games before the "flu" he looked disengaged. Some people thought I was jumping to conclusions but...

Yeah, I think it was The Bucks game where QS let Neto finish the 4th - the look of disgust was etched all over Burke's face.

Burke was cast as the odd man out the day Neto was named the starting PG - clearly the prudent move if The Jazz have any hope or desire to keep their core players together. And with expiring deals not having the value they once had due to the expanding salary cap, might as well trade him now.

So why would we do that? More 'future assets'? I think we have enough of those. We may not love Burke but he is a solid bench player in this league. We don't need more draft picks we need players who can play basketball. Lord knows our depth isn't great. Are we in a position to be trading players at our weakest position for late round draft picks?

I guess it doesn't make sense. I was just answering the man's question though, Dawg.

I wasn't calling you out. Just saying that at some point it'd be nice to have players rather than draft picks.

Although I agree with the premise that Burke is probably worth a late first.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

We won't get a first rounder for him. First rounders are more valued as the cap moves upward.

Here is my prediction. Burke to NY with Booker or Pleiss for salary filler with Calderon and Kyle O Quinn coming back we'd also get draft right to a euro dude they picked that has value... Hernangoza (sp?).

Or it will be Kyle and Galloway for Burke.

Another prediction... He goes to Sacramento in a three team deal that gets us collison back. We add stuff or eat a contract to help facilitate other players moving.
