Trade Deadline

The only person of any substance that's on the block is Burke - I'm sure the rest of the non-core is available but let's face it, they're all pretty much filler at best.

I don't think The Jazz have Burks on the block being he has a broken ankle - not sure how you deal from a position of strength in that situation.

Ideally you'd want a scorer, preferably a stretch 4 coming off the bench - Teletovic, Patrick Patterson, Ryan Anderson. I'd trade Booker or Burke and a second round for any of these guys.

I'm sure Burks is on the block, but his trade value is probably at an all time low so it makes no sense to sell at this point.

I really don't know why Utah would want to trade Booker unless they can get a draft pick. Those guys you listed are good, but Lyles is slotted to become that guy and Booker is a nice placeholder for the time and provides a lot of intangibles to the team.
 
Luke Walton was vastly overpaid as a player..

Only because the Lakers had a thin roster in the lockout year, which happened to be his contract year, and he got a lot of minutes and played decently.

Maybe it was a bad example, but I think they will keep him as a locker room guy for as long as he is in the 3 million dollar range. I see Ingles leaving for Australia to finish his career at home rather than a competing team offering him anything over what we are paying him now.

I don't think you can expect anything from Lyles on a consistent basis until year 3. I like some of what I've seen so far but I'm predicting a lot of peaks and valleys in his next 125 games. Any of these 3guys would make great placeholders until then.

I don't dislike Booker but you can't give the guy minutes when you're playing from behind because of his high propensity for mind boggling turnovers and dumb f**ing fouls. I'd gladly trade one thunder dunk and one offensive rebound or hustle play for a 4 that you have to guard from 25 feet out on every single possession.
 
If we didn't go after Teague then I would say that to get some bench scoring would be nice. But that's pretty much the same thing as getting Burks back from injury.
 
It begins.

That's a way better offer than anything that I would be willing to give them.



the Jazz aren't gonna overpay for him, like some of us said from the get-go..

consider that tweet the kaiboshing of all the Teague to Utah rumors, the Jazz won't beat that offer. they'll be fishing for the highest bidders, Dennis Lindsey isn't that guy.

As good as Lindsey's been as the GM, overpaying for Trey Burke, then overpaying for Jeff Teague to replace him wouldn't really look good... It'd leave Exum out to dry too.
