Free Alec Burks

[Getting Traded]

This whole Burks thing has completely turned me off to the Jazz. To me playing him is a no-brainer. And Corbin's love for Foye is something I cannot understand. He even has him playing more minutes than Hayward which is absolutely ridiculous.

Marvin has been very inconsistent as well -- so I would agree with people who are saying that both him and Foye should be sent packing along with Big Al to somehow find us a PG. If only we had been smart enough not to make the playoffs last year like Golden State and somehow had been able to get Lilliard, we'd be in business right now.

Heck, if we had treated AK better, he could still be with us. He's been playing the best of his career this year and playing well under control. Adelman is also giving him more minutes than we did and you can see the results for Minny. He's been their best player. Yeah, Love gets the stats because he's a selfish player but you'll notice Minny wins without him. In fact, the return of Rubio is more important to the Twolves than Love. I think if they gave Derrick Williams more minutes he will pan out, kind of like Burks with us. I'll lay odds that the Twolves end up with a better record than us this year -- one of their big pluses is that they have a better coach. Too bad we didn't get Adelman to take over from Jerry.

Burks sucks.

Burks sucks.

How are the fish biting today?

I guess Franklin knows from first-hand experience.

Don't you mean "first mouth"?

The idea of receiving oral sex from a millionaire 20-something is not an insult.

While it's nice to dream of how we could've gotten to land Lillard we would've just buried him on the bench and sent him to the D-league. Thank goodness for his career he went to Portland. If we drafted him he'd probably be in Reno right now instead of being far and away the leader for ROY.

Yup.

Wouldn't surprise me if agents started asking the jazz not to draft their players and telling their players to decline workouts here

 

[Revolution 9]

but we can sleep safely at night knowing the jazz will bring in the Foyes, Marvins, Bells, Earls, and Mo's of the world.

It'll be nice if Burks gets packaged with Millsap or Jefferson before the trade deadline just so this thread will die.

Or they could...you know....play him.

Or you could just ignore this thread and any other thread discussing playing the youth more.
