Did Raja Bell blackmail the whole Jazz front office

To be fair tonight, Raja was almost the 9th man in terms of minutes scored.. But yes, I have no doubt that Burks could have done much more with those 17+ minutes that Raja got.

Gordo Hayward is like the golden calf he can't do anything wrong he is 1 for 8. Bell is complete garbage yet Burk is buried on our bench.

At least Hayward is a competent passer and distributor on his off nights. I'm not sure what Bell does.
 
New signature and avatar in dedication to Gordo. In all seriousness I hope that he starts to play better he could be a big part of our future. But, he isn't ready yet I would rather see Burk getting the minutes that Gordon does or Evans.
 
I don't know that Burkes is ready to lead us to the promised land (or even two wins in a row), but even though I've long been a Jefferson supporter (like Memo, he's a good guy with some skills), I think it is obvious we need to find someone to take Bell off our hands for a legit (not expecting an all-star here) 2 guard, and I'm assuming only a Jefferson deal would get that done. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing if Rondo is still a possibility after the start we've had, but we're not winning 30% with this crew.
 
Hayward spent all night in the gym Thursday, had a great game on Friday and his shot looked tired on Saturday.

Sounds like typical growing pains to me. Get used to it.

As someone mentioned earlier, he's still making other positive contributions (although he did get caught with his feet nailed to the floor a couple of times on defense last night).

Is anyone really looking for that from Burk(e)s? How about a little bit of offensive production (plus minimal defensive stability) at the 2?

Wow--you are really selling your credibility with that statement ...

Rondo would be swell--except he's not a 2 guard (I guess you changed the subject), and he is quite expensive for a guard ($13 million in 2014).

Yeah 23-0. Almost Ali - Frazier like.

In all seriousness, Bell is just done. His shot is so flat you can tell the second it leaves his hands it has no chance of going in. When he comes off curls he doesn't even want to shoot it. He doesn't have the legs anymore to stop on a dime and get up a good shot.

On defense, he can't fight through screens like he used to and he's doing more grabbing than defending with his feet.

In all fairness to Corbin, he's playing him less and less each game.
 
Maybe Corbin is insane, for as Einstein said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
