What's new

calling it now: Kanter will be traded, and Burke will be in the deal

Here's what I think the best-scenario future of the Jazz will be, given their existing players:

PG: Exum/Neto
SG: Burks
SF: Hayward/Hood
PF: Favors
C: Gobert

Burke and Kanter get moved or leave in free agency. The Jazz still really need a first-option scorer and will try to draft that player, but they have decent, if not prototypical talent at every position and can go after BPA at any position 2 - 5.
 
If we trade Burke, that doesn't require Exum's roll changes... even if we don't get a PG back. Duh.

I guess I am confused... Who would be our starter at PG?
 
when has Snyder ever referred to a "point guard" in his system?

Don't know... but you understand what I'm asking right... who starts and handles the ball and initiates the offense like... you know... a point guard.

Is that AB, and Gordo primarily? I think we could go point guardless for stretches, but to have your only PG be Dante may not be the best idea. I really don't like Alec in that role... I want him attacking. Don't know if Gordo has that kind of ball handling ability full time.

Ultimately it would come down to what we got in the trade. I'd want a really good return for Burke.

I'd rather let Kanter walk, keep Burke with his rookie deal (he is a bargain). Sign Millsap during the offseason and Draft Towns or Porzingis:

C: Favors/Gobert
PF: Millsap/Karl Towns (or Porzingis)
SF: Hayward
SG: Burks/Hood
PG: Burke/Exum

2 birds with one stone.


If we didn't just sign our SG and SF spots for 40million and 63 million that might be a good draft choice... I really like Stanley Johnson, but it's really hard to find yet another place for a young wing on our roster having in mind we have Hood who we need to develop and Exum who needs to play at some point(i.e. Burks playing PG in the long term is not good option). I still think we need to select a big(stretch 4? or crafty 5) in the next draft.
 
Overreacting is such a weak way for people to respond.

It's been two whole games. There's 80 count em' 80 more games in the season.
 
This is a **** idea until you include 2-3 more players and draft picks that will net a super star. And worthless if Exum doesn't become one.

fine. do it.

Let's see your proposal.


fwiw, I'd be happy to turn those two nickels into a dime..... before they become less.
 
You lost me when you said Burke. Kanter might be traded, but I really don't want him to. We won't get any value for him now. Might as well keep him for as long as possible, and see if he makes a leap.
 
I can't see who we'll be getting in the deal, but we're sending those two guys out together.

I'll bump this after it comes true.

How about Rondo and Olynk for Kanter and Burke + a first round pick? I know Boston wouldn't do it but a guy can dream. I don't want to trade Burke right now but
 
how long are we gonna keep saying "we won't get value for Enes..."? Should we keep saying that while his real value continues to fall?
