Isn't Freakazoid referring to Trey as "Treyd"? I think that probably captures what DoL would like to do.

That is kind of where I was too, but it might be a little dangerous to do right now. I am not sure he has a ton of value and PGs generally take a decent leap in their third year.

That said it would make a lot of sense to get a steady vet to backup Exum.
 
DoL probably takes blame for the Trey pick, as he should, the buck stops with him. Corbin, theoretically, spent the year coaching the team, it was up to DoL and his staff to handle the scouting for the draft. So to let Ty come in and override the whole scouting dept doesn't make sense to me. My guess is that DoL liked him as well. That's not a stretch, considering how 90% of this board was hot after Trey too. It was only the prescient few such as I who called it that Trey would be Jameer Nelson at best. Dang I'm good.

Having said that, I'm pulling for Trey to make a big leap.
 
I wouldn't say Trey's been a bust. He was the #9 pick in a pretty bad draft, and so far he's been a very medicore NBA PG. Probably about expected.

I'm really not on the "Trade Trey" train, for a few reasons:

1. Exum is our starter next season. Period. Trey's stock is not high right now, and I really doubt we could move him for a really good backup PG, so he's probably our best bet as a backup PG next year.

2. He's really cheap on his rookie deal. Never a bad thing.

3. He's going into his third year and has starter experience. He still has room to improve, learn not to play hero ball and have a really solid season next year.

I say we just ride the wave and let him play out his rookie deal. Beyond that, who knows?
 
I've heard The Jazz still think Burke can be a Lou Williams-type player. I think next year will be big for Burke. They will take some responsibility off him and give it to Burks/Hood in hopes that Burke becomes a lot more efficient. If not...his days may be done. I don't think Utah soul hesitate to move him either.

Locks podcast does a breakdown of the Lindsey interview. Lock believes the jazz have identified their strength as coaching young talent. They are reluctant to bring in old veterans because it goes away from their coaches strengths.

Locke's statement is a bit dubious -- If Locke is right, what do the Jazz do once their young guys become old vets? I think Snyder also has the coaching skills to win with established players. Or else the Jazz will run the Scotty Brooks experiment, part 2.

Let us assume that Snyder isn't as good at teaching vets. As this groups grows Snyder will to. He will learn as they do. So as this group becomes vets (Id argue that Hayward, Burks and Favors already are) Snyder will improve his tactics.

Self solving.

Prediction: Someone is going to overpay for Carroll and he'll take the money and run. It won'd be the Jazz.

Well if the Jazz trade Burke for a vet PG, bring over Tomic, move up in the draft and bring back Cotton, Ingles and Millsap I'll be fine if Carroll doesn't come back to Utah v

So many possibilities.
