Trade Deadline

[Hekate]

Not to mention Lawson is on record saying he would never want to play for Utah because of the fans and that "Utah is dumb boring".

Many people said they found Utah a much better place than they thought.

 

[Stoked]

His contract is not guaranteed after this season.

Best news about all of this.

Thoughts on how this impacts the Jazz this season?

 

[Sneakers]

LOL THIS WOULD BE SO BAD

no trade better than this.

LAWSON??? *help* Houston???

You guys remember Ty Lawson torching us, right. He's one season removed from averaging 15 pts, 9.6 asts, 3 rebs, 43 FG%, 34% 3PT%.

Dudes...

I'm leary of guys who have character issues, have taken a significant turn for the worse while playing for a better team, and who a 2nd team is actively looking to unload.

Jazz have been doing their due diligence on Lawson for a while, both from a scouting and a legal perspective.

Andy Larsen ‏@andyblarsen 2m2 minutes ago
Jazz feel Lawson's issues in Houston are about that team's system and chemistry, but see no physical slipping in Lawson's play on court.

Wow.. Amazing if true... the Jazz are serious.


Andy - is this for real?

On way HOUSTON gives up their first round pick for Burke.

Then there is not even a conversation here. Without that pick being the starting point there is no reason to even consider this.

You would rather let go of Pless than Booker?

I think Booker will be more helpful in the run up to the playoffs.

Give Booker minutes to Lyles and Withey and it's ok.

SLTrib's Twitter says Lawson's contract is a team option next year.

 

[Sneakers]

Lawson has been TERRIBLE this year!!! Plus he is a noted MALCONTENT! And that's even if his ALCHY issues are over!!!! And we're HELPING Houston!!!

 

[RJF]

Just under 20 hours away...

 

[The Midnight]

Guys I think this really could happen.

- HOU are desperate to let him go

- Jazz have done due diligence on him and are OK with his issues


It's the PERFECT STORM.

tbh, i don't think it would have a major impact. He seemed checked out in Houston. If this changes, and he refocuses on the game, Lawson is one hell of a player.

If we can get a pick on top of Lawson, this is a no-brainer. Otherwise, then we might have given Burke away for nothing. That's the risk.
