Do not do a twitter search of Trey Burke

If he is just an average point guard and we just drafted a supposed star point guard in the making then ya, he should be considered for trading and the Jazz will most likely have that discussion. Cmon stoked, what planet are you living on? The Jazz don't like knuckleheads. They never have. They won't endure a bunch of bad pub for an average point guard.

I'm not saying it's going to happen. But it will if the trend continues. And with two mistakes under his belt do shortly, it's not a stretch to think it will happen again.

If his play on the court leads to the need to trade him then right on. I live on a planet where I will actually base wether to trade him or not on his basketball playing ability only. You should move here, it's nice.

Using a dumb move off court should simply not come into the equation. If you cannot see than then that's to bad.

You've heard of the recent hackings that have revealed a lot of celebrities personal photos, right? They are the victims, not the other way around. This goes to show that a lot of people take personal photos too.

You quoted me saying basically this, so why are you now telling me it?

Victims can be idiots as well, in fact, a lot are. A digital dick pic in 2014 is asking for trouble.

For those who habitually misunderstand my stance on the kid, I find this situation funny. Hilarious even. I'm not offended in the slightest, and I'm not asking that he be traded over this. I want to see how he progresses up until Jan or Feb before I make that call. If he is mediocre, or if he and Dante clearly have no chemistry and keeping Trey hurts Dante's development, that's when I'll want him traded again.
 
I didn't like Trey's choice of dick for the photo. I would go with something more like:

Wow, I usually agree with you on stuff, but not here. Your mythical planet doesn't exist anywhere in the NBA. Every team makes decisions by considering numerous factors, basketball skills are only a part.

I inserted the idea of trade into this discussion mainly because my perception that the Jazz don't like drama, while drama seems to swirl around Enes and Trey.

Interesting to see how the jazz handle it with all their new people...Lindsey, Snyder and company.
 
On stoked ' s mythical planet no athlete is judged on their personal conduct outside of the sport.

Sorry Stoked, but in real life it does play a part.


Dick pics for everyone all day in stoked's dream land.
 
Brett Favre got his dick pics posted online and he was a terrible leader, right?

The thirst for getting laid has nothing to do with basketball leadership.

Agreed, but Trey Burke's leadership right now is based on what he says/composure in interviews, not his skill level.

He hit that buzzer beater against Orlando, but Sundiatta Gaines also hit a buzzer beater, should he have also been our leader?

These stats:

^ are not the stats of a leader. The conversation of him as a possible leader is based on how he presents himself, which he himself is tarnishing.

Dennis Lindsey and Randy Rigby have both expressed doubts about Trey's leadership in interviews on 1280, essentially saying he talks the talk, but they can't believe it until he walks the walk. Maybe one day his NBA skills will be good enough to be taken seriously as a leader. Hasn't happened yet.

You can be a leader and not be that great. Earl Watson, for example. He may not be THE leader on the level he wants to be, but that doesn't mean he can't be a leader.
