Dante injury - does this accelerate our timeline?

Time is also an ingredient. I think this season sets the timer. There are still too many unknowns. While I wouldn't be adverse to picking up a starting, veteran PG, there is still a lot to asses.

1. Who is Burks post surgery?
2. Is Hood really good, or was his end of season play a fluke?
3. Have Hayward and Favs hit their ceiling?
4. Can Gobert bring it for a whole season?
5. Has Trey plateaued?
6. Who is Lyles?
7. Can Exum get it together over the course of the season.

Obviously, 7 won't be answered. But the rest will. I think if 3 or 4 of these are answered positively by ASB it's time to go. But it's going to take assets, so let's make sure we move the right ones. It's going to take Burks/Hood/Trey to some degree to bring back the player we need, IMO. I don't think we're ready to make that call. Or are we?

If Hood is really good then why trade him? I still think Hood is going to surprise many here. I do not want to trade him. Like you said there are simply to many variables right now.
 
I never felt like dante would be an all star even if he didn't get hurt (I thought he would be an ok starter) so I'm hoping (i was hoping they would do this before dante injury) that we use some of these draft picks to get a guy like George hill, jrue holiday, or Patrick Beverly.

If hood is good then maybe we move Burks. If both are good maybe we continue baking. Lots of options.

Careful! You're gonna overbake the damn cake and make it all dry and crumbly!!

Interesting comment from Locke yesterday... in that we have Burks locked up until 2019... yea... $11M, but the value of the deal wasn't when it was made, but that it will become increasingly 'cheap'...?
 
Dante will bounce back. ACL injuries for 19 year olds who don't rely on explosiveness aren't the end of the world. But I think this is an opportunity to pool our assets and get a quality starter PG, instead of hoping that Exum or someone else will develop into one. We don't need an all star to compete, just a good PG like Shroeder will do.

+1 Agreed, though Schröder not bad stats for minutes played. Two Germans on the Jazz? Sure... why not. Saw him mentioned on other thread last night when Dante 1st hurt... Any specific reason why? I don't know his game at all. Not many highlights, other than a steal... though someone said Hawks like him and not giving him up...
 
Some teams will be looking to rebuild at the deadline. We have a couple of backup PG's in Neto and Cotton. I think DL could pick up a decent veteran for Burke and a couple of 1sts.

Burke, money and/or picks (we have lots) for Schroder?
