What's new

Go GET Teague

Yep. Which I why I said comparing trey hayward and alec from years ago vs Gobert, favors, and hayward now is apples to oranges
And even if that was happening. It was a prediction. Favors Gobert and Hayward are going to be offered max deals. It's already a fact. They've earned them based on what they've done, not what they might do.

The argument falls apart quickly.
 
Kanter was a guy that was talked about for a Max as well, and he got exactly that. Hayward, Gobert and Favors are all likely to be at max levels (or very, very close). I'm not sure that either Hood or Exum will, but there's a possibility that they both could prove that out in time. I'd highly doubt that the market will be that bullish 3 years from now TBH.
 
If the Hawks insists on getting Burks - do you think DL pulls the trigger?

No, I don't. I think he wants out of Burke and will use other assets (Pleiss, picks, cash) to a point to try and get it done.

Nope. Because I think the short-term benefit is not worth hurting the team the next few years.
Utah has two play makers on the court in Hood and Hayward. Rodney, especially. He's exceptional at creating scoring opportunities. What Jazz really need is someone capable of guarding opposing 1's, but who can just stay behind the arc and shoot 3's. Not sure who that will be, but I wouldn't trade a pretty good 6th man for 1 1/2 years of Teague, It's Burke or pass.

Especially when he is scoring elite for a 6th man who changes the dynamic of the game so much. He turns Utah into a completely different team when he is on the floor. By far the best player at point direct pressure on the rim D of the opposing team. Not to mention how clutch he has been.
