Go GET Teague

Soo... previously from various trade rumours we've missed out on 2 star point guards: Eric Bledsoe and Reggie Jackson


Bledsoe - we seem to have dodged a bullet there with his knee injury and Suns are now stuck with his HUGE $70m contract

Jackson - jury's still out. He is driving that DET team but I'm still not sure about his efficiency...


So far it's 50/50 ... which basket will Teague fall into?

Neither, even if he failed miserably with Utah, Jazz would only be on the hook for 1 1/2 years of a salary that in no way hinders their ability to sign other free agents or keep their own.

Was going to say exactly this, but Stifle beat me to it. That said, I'd have made the trade for Reggie Jackson and then seen what RFA brought about.

But we would have already given up assets... so if he failed miserably that's a loss for us.

Burke, who I doubt Utah re-signs after his rookie deal is up and a late first. And who cares about how many seconds they want? Yes, I know we got Rudy late. But most late firsts amount to very little. You can sign a vet FA who generally gives you as much as a pick in the late 20's (which is where OKC's is likely to be).

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.
