Booker started 40 games for a playoff team last year. Good defender, good rebounder, solid offensive game. Just a solid, solid role player.

The OP needs to scrap the entire thing and start over
Additions: Quin Snyder, Dante Exum, Rodney Hood, Trevor Booker, Steve Novak, Carrick Felix
Subtractions: Ty Corbin, Marvin Williams, Richard Jefferson, John Lucas III, Eric Murphy, Malcolm Thomas
When you also factor in that the team is very young and so improvement from some of the young players is reasonable to expect, I guess I just don't see how this year's Jazz could possibly be worse than last season.

Wow, you should have put that in the Additions list! Talk about addition by subtraction!
We're going to be better than last year. Burke is no longer a rookie and should have worked on his weaknesses and we have some new players who will contribute. We're also better defensively (not a big upgrade but we are definitely better with Booker, Felix, Exum & hopefully some increased playing time for Gobert).
And oh, yeah... Corbin is gone!!!
That being said I don't see us making the playoffs - but the Jazz will be improved and more fun to watch.

I think most people would say that the season really hinges on Burks and Kanter's continued improvement, on the impact of Quin Snyder's system at both ends and Dante Exum's (limited) minutes at PG. The X-factors are Exum and, to a lesser degree, Gobert.
TBH, I think Favors is every bit as much a trade candidate as Kanter is, especially given the emergence of Rudy Gobert. Kanter is the better scorer, the better offensive rebounder, and has more speed and natural feel out on the floor.

Ha, I quit the team because of Ty and I wasn't even on it. Can you blame them?
