Sources: Rockets, Jazz had casual talks on Ty Lawson, but those ended. Both teams moved on. Another thing: Rockets won't buy out Lawson.​

Good news I didn't want Lawson at all. So the Jazz have still less than 4 hours to shop Burke to another team.

This Wojnarowski is a very reliable source.

If the Jazz can't extract an additional asset in a Trey+Pleiss for Lawson deal, it might be better to pass.

I agree there would seemingly have to be something. I think my preference given contract/fit might be Dekker, though I was lukewarm on him in the draft. But that might be the least likely offer from Houston.

Wasn't there something to the rumor that Houston was motivated to make the trade for the sake of possibly allowing another move elsewhere? If it turns out Houston doesn't have this need, then the chances of this trade are very low, I'd suspect.

Lol Broussard reports "sources" that the trade is dead about 30 seconds after Woj bomb

A disingenuous, piece of **** reporter. Does this all the time. Never cites his sources.

We can keep Burke. S'all gud.

Guess I'm late to the party as usual.

Seems like Burke will be traded at the last minute...

Presumably, Houston wants to get under the Luxury Tax threshold. They're only a few mil over right now, are probably ready to punt the season, and have promised to let Lawson become a free agent this summer regardless. Holding onto Lawson and ending up above the Luxury Tax would be a bad outcome.

Prediction now is either we do nothing, or we move Burke for nada right before the deadline.

If the Jazz are trading Trey anyway, they'd almost certainly rather get Lawson than nothing.

Unfortunately, it looks that way now ... but still three hours to go.

If Houston can just waive Lawson so that it doesn't affect them next year, wouldn't it make more sense for them to trade someone like Brewer, Ariza, Beverley or MacDaniels if their hope is to shed salary and clear cap space?
