I'm not paid millions of dollars to Gmail a team. I don't get to see these players close up. I don't have access professionalscouts. I don't get to interview these people. All that makes a hugedifference. It's not even close to arm chair GM'ingand I'm still better.

I changed my mind later on Burke. I can do that.

You're saying you were praying that the Jazz would trade up for him, they did, and then sometime after that you soured on him and eventually decided that it was an epic mistake on their part and that their choice to draft him and your changing your mind after the fact is proof that the Jazz FO is dumb and you are smart? You believe that your position is justifiable because they must have had access to info that you didn't, and your lack of this information is evidence that you know more about these decisions than they do? Are you nutz?

For a FO that had the philosophy of drafting big players for their positions (that was one thing KOC cited in drafting Hayward), it was insanity to draft a midget PG. Yes, there are small PG's like CP3, but Burke was NEVER going to be a Chris Paul-type player. Lindsey can place the blame on Corbin all he wants, but the buck stops at Lindsey's desk. The real failure was in the front office boxing themselves into a corner by not having any PG options on the roster at draft time, having already decided to let Mo Williams go. What a joke with Watson, Tinsley and then JLIII. The worst PG's in the league all employed by the Jazz. They HAD to draft a PG.

I'm not so upset with drafting Burke over McCollum. I'm more upset Utah had to give up assets to trade up for a PG instead of being able to take BPA.Then again, if it really was Corbin/KOC wanting Trey against DL's advice, that just cemented DL taking the reins and having the ammunition to later fire Ty.

He isn't a midget tho. He is an average height PG with a pretty nice wingspan for his size.

The problem with Burke is his lack of explosiveness.
