Burke Slams Media

[Jazz and Utes]

Honest question. What has Burke done or shown on the court to give you hope?

Lol not all athletes peak in their first few years, we are a small market we can't afford to draft lottery players and give up on them and let them go....not how small market's build a winning team.

Jody gessy always thinks it's ok to yell to other when he can do it too? Shame! Disgrace! He says to anyone that we can trade favors and jazz want milsap and it show that jazz were not even candidates for milsap. Liar! Stop try trade Favors!!! And I know Favors probably thinks same thing about Gessy.

I'm waiting to see what Stifle Towers thinks of this.

Jazz have a history of showing they don't really do this, especially in the DL era.

Aside from a few mild improvements (his stutter on his drives last year for example, something Franklin* pointed out to me) Burke has gotten worse across the board.

I am not for ditching all our draft picks. I even wanted Kanter to stay. But I just do not see Burke making it and I think he needs to go.

I am all for keeping Favors, Hayward, Burks, Hood, Gobert, Lyles and Exum. So this is not a "giving up on draft picks" thing. It's a "I think that Burke won't cut it" thing.

Honestly I hope Burke makes me eat my words but I do not think he will.

I'm obviously not a fan of Burke either, but I think one aspect of his game that people tend to overlook is his dribbling.


I would argue that his dribbling is elite. I mean he doesn't have the speed or quickness to fully utilize that skill, but he is probably the only player on the Jazz (maybe Rodney Hood too) who I feel absolutely comfortable with when it comes to holding onto the ball and slowing down the game.

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere except the end of the TB trade partner thread. I remember saying awhile ago in one of the pg threads, that "all this is not being lost on Trey Burke." I know he said in the last day or two that this was going to be his best year.

I don't blame jody, I'm sure the jazz management looked at every option for the team, like they should. So it could have been true, it's just a scenario that could play out. It was a solid for sure thing to happen.

Show me ONE post where I have advocated trading Derrick? You can't because I have never said that. I have only surmised, based on all the rumors that LINDSEY has tried to trade him the past 2 years.

I really am flattered that you have such a problem with me.

Think about it. Jody's source is probably some agent, or someone like that, who heard about Millsap' agent getting a call. I seriously doubt he is the one guy who has full access and knowledge to what the Jazz are doing and thinking. That's what it would take to know both ideas that they want Millsap and want to trade Favors.

I don't remember jody saying that the jazz WANTED to trade favors. Just that there were rumors of a possible trade. (That rumor could have came from an un-jazz related source like an employee of a different team.... Or it could have been jazz personnel commenting on an offer for favors from another team.)

Even Bolerjack was on air talking about trading Burke. I was shocked someone of his stature would even mention something like that. Everyone knows it's time to move on.

You didn't answer the question

Interesting. I did not hear that. I really think that Burke's days in Utah are limited.
