Go GET Teague

My biggest question in the event of no trade happening involving Burke, is what the **** are we going to do with Burke when Exum comes back and Neto continues to improve?

Do we continue to go with Burke as the shooting presence off the bench, or do we go with Neto who provides more defensive presence and effort?

If Burke and a late first is enough then why are we having this conversation?


I think they wanted Hood, and will settle for Burks + OUR first.... hence the current standoff.

They aren't going to give away Teague for that little. They can give him away at the trade deadline next year for that same haul.

Burke is our microwave scorer off the bench, no different to Patty Mills for the Spurs. Neto would be the equivalent to a younger Cory Joseph and Ray McCallum who is a developing third choice and is added to the starting line up when the first choice (Exum in this case) is unavailable.

Players in the last year of a contract who will be UFA's usually net a 2nd round pick. Teague isn't a franchise player, but MAYBE they get a late first from a contender. Or a full year rental (i.e. trade during the summer, might fetch a little more). Yes, he's a former all-star. But he's also pressuring for a trade so that drives down what teams are going to offer as they think Atlanta will be forced to do a deal. It's a fair offer, They get a first and a former first who is showing he can be a pretty good backup PG/scorer. And the fact Trey will be a RFA is good. Atl - if they like him in the role - will be able to keep him for a pretty reasonable price.

I doubt Burke is on the team past the deadline next season. Jazz aren't going to make a QO of $4.5M for Burke as a backup after his rookie contract expires. Neto will only make $1M at that time. Jazz won't want to sign Burke or match any kind of offer. They'll deal him for as little as a 2nd-round pick. However, I COULD see them waiting until the trade deadline next season, just to give them 1/2 year insurance to make sure Dante is healthy and back to full speed.

Easy to say now but at the same age Burke is well and truly ahead. Mills was shocking up until he arrived at the Spurs and then figured it out, which it helped that they gave him a clear role to play. Which Burkes play and percentages this season give me hope that he too is starting to figure it out and with a couple of more years to keep working on his game and improving it I see no reason why he can't be successful in some form in this league. Which had you said that to me at this point last season I would have laughed at you.

Good point
 
Reports are saying that the Hawks have really high asking prices for Teague, Horford, and Korver.

I would guess if we've talked they asked for Burke, Hood, and a first.
 
There won't be any trade then and Teague will leave Hawks for free. Nobody will pay a lot for a one year rental of a good but not great PG who's past his prime...
