Hayward/Burks to play in the Indy Pro-Am

Our young core has me SO excited. I think it would pay huge dividends to sign someone like Battier who can teach defense, teach professionalism and work ethic and study habits (game tape) as well as fill a void at the 3. He's not nearly what he was a few years ago but I think a 2 year, 8M deal or 3 year 10M deal would be wise for this team going forward. He fills an immediate need and brings the leadership and experience we sorely need in my opinion.

AK may have more left in the tank so to speak but he's not what this team needs right now to get to where we want to be 2-5 years from now.

If Battier is okay with coming of the bench that would be valuable. But I am sure Battier will be some where with championship aspirations.
 
You could make the argument that Bell would provide a lot of what Battier might. And since the chances of Bell being traded continue to shrink (the way I see it), it makes it that much more unlikely the Jazz would go after Battier.

But I agree on the basic premise.

Come off the bench behind who? Millsap? If that's the case, I see your point. If it's Miles or AK, ugh.

Here is a good video that shows Burks and Lance Stevenson. Burks is number 15, Stevenson is 1. Burks jumper looks good to me. Also, Burks has a nice pass near the end of the video.

Looks like the video was taken off get a message:
"Lance Stephenson..."

Did he beat his GF again and they needed the video as evidence of where he was?
 
Burks looked good. Hit a bunch of 3's and had some nice drive-and-dishes.

Man, Lance is a ball hog. He scored a lot, but looked to go one on one too much for my liking.
 
Burks basically had a couple nice highlight dunks, passes, and drives to the rim. The video had about 5 3 pointers from Burks, all pull ups in his man's face. The defense was laughably bad. No help D on anything.
 
I need to see this video. Because hoops madness is creeping in to my brain. Was this posted anywhere else?
