Draft a few days away.....move Trey Burke,he doesn't fit what the Jazz want

I'm not ready to give up on Burke, although I don't have very high hopes for him, either.

Funny the OP thinks Burke is expendable because of Exum, yet many are ready to give up on 19yo (is that right?) Exum already because he didn't come in and dominate as an 18yo rookie from the AU who has never seen men like those who also have jobs playing in the mother ****ing NBA.

So I say let's keep Exum and Burke and see where this thing goes.
 
There is no need to sell low on an inexpensive young player right now. He's not taking crucial minutes away from anybody. The Jazz can afford to be patient.
 
I don't think we should trade him yet either.

I don't think the Jazz will either. At least I don't think they'll be aggressive about it. Of someone was asking then ya, but I think they'll be fine with giving him more time, since he is young, he is cheap, and they spent two picks on him.

It frankly would be kinda dumb to just dump him just to dump him right now.

You aren't going to go out and sign someone to do his job for just as cheap and much better anyways.

It isn't his poor shooting that bothers me so much, it's him taking 14 shots a game while shooting poorly that pisses me off. That and the fact he would never pass on the fast break. Yeah, I hate him.

He was our #2 option last year behind Hayward. #1 at times. This year, with an improved Hood, Favors, Exum, and returning Burks he will always be the third option or lower. I think he will do much better in that role.
 
A second Unit with a healthy Burks or Hood will make a big difference. There wasn't much else on the second unit to take shots or to pass to. Burke had some nice chemistry with Favors at the end of the year. That baseline dish on the drive to Favs was money.
