Really hope Lindsey trades Burke

NUMBERICA said:
I know everyone can only remember to the last 10 games at a given time, but Burke was primarily responsible for the team going from almost winless to the only stretch of .500 ball all season. He played well. Do I really have to go game-by-game, moment-by-moment? He played well.

If you can't be more specific, then fine. But there's no sense in hiding behind this kind of made-up foible.

As for your unquoted comments, yeah, he needs to be a helluva lot more efficient and better at defense. And a lot stronger. I didn't see enough to make me confident that he'll get downhill on these things.
 
I'm on board. Burke's value will only decline the closer he gets to reaching his potential (Mo Williams light). He's the easiest player to replace, for free, in free agency, every free agency.

He doesn't have to be more productive to me, but better efficiency would be nice. Better D, too (I think he struggled with the strength of the NBA than anything, and that's something you work through).

Well that's what I meant I suppose. I myself put higher percentages which would result in better efficiency.
 
I'm worried Burke could hold back Exum's growth as a player. If Exum can play pg he has a better chance at being a star being athletic and a mismatch for 99% of pg's in the nba. If he plays along side Burke he will be guarded by the other teams longer guard. Is this a valid concern, or no big deal. If he plays pg could he be another Rose, Westbrook kind of player?

If Exum is really a star, it won't matter what position he plays.

Kobe, Lebron, Jordan, etc. where basically all PG's who played with other PG's. You want your star to handle the ball and you want the other plays to compliment him. The only thing that worries me about Burke is defense, but I like his floor spacing and ability to not turnover the ball. Trading Burke this early would be dumb.
 
there can be enough minutes in the rotation for burke too, you need depth anyway

it's on coach now how he will use his guards
