I would kill a man to bring Ante Tomic to this team

What good will that do? A man will be dead and Tomic will still be with his current team. And you'll be some guys bitch in prison and Trey black Jesus Burk will lose all his savior like powers as there will be no one left to worship him.....

So by all means killing a man to get Tomic in is what's best for this team.

Opposing teams would salivate, as Burks gets buried in screens/gets caught sleeping on D while opposing PGs zip around. Highly highly doubt seeing any extensive PG minutes for Burks whatsoever.

You just wrote the bio for most of our perimeter defenders, bro. Hood has these qualities in spades. Your boi Burke has them too, if he doesn't just give up. I'll watch at least see 40 games of a healthy Burks under coach Q before I say anything like you just wrote.

Also, would bet my life....

very interested in any wager on these terms.

I think Burks likely starts. Hood said he'd come off the bench, so that solves the problem. I think Hood is a better fit playing with the starters, though. He's really the only gunner we have. Hayward and Burks are adequate 3PT shooters and hopefully Exum comes back improved.

The problem we have is STILL Burke. Pair him up with Burks and Alec doesn't get to drive. Pair him with Rodney and Hood would barely get to shoot. Trey needs to be traded to make way for Hood OR Burks to head up the 2nd unit. Either one is MUCH more efficient than Burke.

Burke has literally accepted every role given to him, AND he played in the same games where Rodney controlled the rock extensively in 4th quarters.

He doesn't need to ball-dominate, so long as he develops a three-point shot. That, and working on his fast-breaks are my two big hopes with him (along with the obvious-- finishing at the rim).

Which is why I don't want Hood guarding PGs either. I get what you're saying, and in principle Burks should have the range to annoy PGs a la Exum, but I have my strong doubts. Regardless, i think we should be parsimonious with the roles of our players-- sure, if Hood and Burks are both playing well, you can roll them both out. Many of our players can play 2 positions, which is important. With that said, preemptively assigning Burks a role as a 1 seems rather rash.

Just give up dude-- way too much money in a year where have a better player at the 3, and we aren't even gearing for a deep playoff run,

So you don't think we'll see a lot of Burks, Hood, and Hayward on the floor at the same time. Ok. That means that you still see Burke as a sixth man, and either Hood or Burks as the 7th (whomever doesn't start, obvi). That's pretty funny.

Oh.. and Burke suxxxx at D, so.......

DeMarre can play alongside Hayward. I care little whether you call one of them a "2" and the other a "3" or vice versa. Q don't care either. Start them both. This is a perfect offseason to spend, and we lack a player with DeMarre's impact.

I wonder, are we're gearing for an early and unceremonious ending to the season???

Get talent.

I don't see Burks playing point/lead guard more than a few times for very limited minutes. Will be interesting to see.

This. Why do people keep calling Burks a PG? Where did this idea come from? He isn't a PG. He will never be a PG. He is a SG. He is a solid SG. Why move him from being a solid SG to a ****ty PG?

I don't get this line of thinking. Makes no sense.

So in order of importance, it seems we need;

1) Either a backup C or a stretch 4.
2) Better shooting from the wings.
3) More veteran leadership/playmaking at PG.

Looks like our best trade bait without giving up tooo much is Burks.

Is Burks worth anything? I think his contract makes him pretty untradable right now.

Do you think we'll see plenty of minutes with Hood, Burks, and Hayward on the floor at the same time? Why or why not?

Also, would bet my life that the Jazz won't go after Carroll this offseason.

I think NY gives Carroll way too much money. Good for Demare.
