Yeah, mostly agree with this unless DL thinks there is an absolute steal. We've poured 2 years of development into Burke, I'd rather just give him another year to make sure.
Burke, Neto or Wright?

Laughable to use Burke's college stats from 2 years ago. He's had TWO seasons in the NBA and hasn't come close to 46%/38%. I'm not saying cut him, but it's ridiculous the Jazz don't have a legit 3rd PG to provide some competition. WE'll never know what Neto can do because Lindsey REFUSES to bring him over. Neto has wanted to play with Utah since he was drafted. But DL doesn't want to have him possibly outplay the lottery picks. Sent him home before summer league even started last year.
Don't know if Raul is the answer. But Utah can't get much worse than having a PG who CAN'T SHOOT (or rather, MAKE...he shoots plenty), DOESN'T PASS and is a weak defender.

You have to get why DL hasn't brought him over right. The last thing we need is another development project at PG. Many of us love Neto, but there is a good chance he isn't that great.
If we bring on a pg replacement for Burke I can pretty much guarantee it won't be a rookie.

Based on what? Their college stats? Burke was better than both those dudes in college at a younger age. They may be better than Burke eventually, but we have better uses for our lottery pick. If we actually sign Tomic and keep Booker, that leaves us about 5 or 6 million per to snag a journeyman point who is willing to play second fiddle. Draft another shooter to immediately stick in the D-League for seasoning, drop Evans, Cark, et al. and we are set.

you should change your name to 'red' due to this comment.

As a backup to Exum, yes. As a 3rd PG to replace Clark/Cotton, no. The Jazz need someone more consistent to backup Exum.
I already got ripped for wanting them to chase Schroder, but also think that Jeremy Lin is a great fit for the Jazz in exactly the same role Burke plays right now. Hell, I'd be fine with the Jazz keeping Trey if they can get a guy to push him for the #2 spot.

I would like to see what Neto can do, but 1) I agree with the comments about replacing a vet with a rookie at this point in the team's trajectory, and 2) I don't see him ever playing in the NBA to begin with.
I still voted Neto

Call me crazy but I don't think adding a complete non shooter at PG is the solution to our spacing problems. **** no to Neto.
Based on the fact that we have seen Trey doesn't have the physical tools compete or the level of skilled needed to overcome his physical limitations. Wright has far superior physical tools. His talent may translate better in the NBA.
As for Neto, his skill level in the summer league games we saw was enough to overcome his physical limitations at that level. We need to see him at the next level.
