Go GET Teague

NAOS said:
The way I see it, Burke had almost no value 40 games ago + Teague is better than Burks, in general, and fit-wise. Moreover, it is hard to imagine Burke as part of the long-term plans (for a variety of reasons).

In the end, though, I can't see ATL doing this. Why trade off a major piece when you're 3rd in the East and have shown that you can go on serious winning streaks when it all clicks? Perhaps they see some redundancy in Teague and Shro, and see this trade as a big bolster to the bench? I dunno.

Burke, Burks, and a couple of 2nds would be sweet. IMO.

I don't know that they view him as a major piece. I think they are more worried about keeping Baze and Horford and think Shro can pick up some of the slack. I don't know how good of a fit AB is which is why I suggested moving him to a third team.

I'm just not sure if Jeff Teague this year is real Jeff Teague or if this is just a bad season. Their situation is weird... the Cavs are coming out of that conference... maybe they are trying to stay competitive while gathering assets for when Lebron is on decline... it would be a weird move for them I agree.
 
Jazz aren't going to do **** just like every year, lot of rumors will happen and nothing will come of it. (I know they haven't been rumored to be going after Teague)

You answered your own question. They are very redundant, and neither 3 point marksman so can't be played together like a Lillard and McCollum can.
Their team got thrashed by an injured Cavs team last year, the result of a healthy Cavs team vs them points to a sweep.
Finally, Teague is unrestricted in a year and a half. If you've already decided on Schroeder as your future PG now is the time to trade Teague, he'll have far less value next year.

Yeah because Utah/Atlanta probably have a solid relationship and all talks are done without leaks.
 
All I know is that during the pre-season we heard DL say stuff along the line of "if the PG's we have arent getting it done, we will make a change".

And Burks will have far less value once his next injury occurs. Now is the time to package Burks and Burke.

Still trying to figure out how depleting our bench and losing first round picks for a year or two of Teague helps the Jazz?

you're pretty high. Would you mind showing me where I wanted to send first-round picks? I'll wait until you come down.
