Trade for Isiah Thomas?

I'm all in on Burke as a clutch shooter, but the jury is out on literally EVERY OTHER aspect of his game being NBA starter quality.

How is this any different for almost ever NBA player after their rookie season. Not to mention he spent the majority of the season injured before hitting the rookie wall. If Burke isn't significantly better this year provided he's healthy then talk about trading him.
 
Maybe the suns are gonna go super small ball.

PG - Isaiah Thomas
SG - Eric Bledsoe
SF - Goran Dragic
PF - Morris or Morris
C - Miles Plumlee

It's just so crazy it might work.

They would be unguardable on the perimeter, and if they can hold their own on the defensive boards, they will fast break people to death, and be absolutely exciting to watch.
 
With Exum years away from meaningful NBA minutes and contribution, maybe it is not far-fetched to think that Jazz may need another serviceable NBA-ready PG.
and there is that name factor. You cannot go wrong with an Isiah Thomas.

Tell that to the Knickerbockers.

I think there are others besides Isaiah. But, Exum is a two-guard. Hopefully we bring Neto over ASAP to assess if he can log significant minutes as our PG (and us be successful with him in that role) backing up Trey.
 
If the Jazz had some other perimeter defender he'd work I guess. I don't know if Exum might become elite defensively, but my guess is no simply because you can't play 40 min a night awesome on ball defense against the opponent's best perimeter player, run multiple picks on offense each possession and do the **** 82 games in the regular season, another 5-20 in the postseason and 15 more for team Australia without taking a huge toll in the career longevity column physically.(Almost forgot 8 preseason games)

So my guess is he's going to be decent when he wants to and coast a lot of the remaining time without making Harden-lowlight clips.

I don't think Isaiah Thomas is one for the Jazz to desire as long as there isn't some huge perimeter defender on board.

I agree that Exum is a 2. I've been saying this forever, but people don't wanna listen. Having said that, his future is as a PG. I am convinced of that.
 
A complete pet peeve of mine, and I know I'm going off topic here, but why do the Jazz, and Jazz fans want so badly to take a player who is very good at something and make him play a position where they aren't as good? I don't get it. Burks is a fine SG. Why spend years trying to turn him into a PG? Exum looks more like a PG then a SG. So, let's spend time, not turning him into an elite PG, but turning him into a solid SG. Same with Hayward. He's a SG. Why are we moving him to SF?

Quinn doesn't think in positions that strictly, stop complaining about a problem that doesn't exist.
 
Why are you still talking like that?

Why are you talking like that?

Is it a shot at the foreigners who don't speak in perfect English around here?

Or, is it a shot at the Jazzfanz community as a whole, with unintended consequences towards our wonderful foreign community?

Those are my two guesses, well I lean a lot more to the latter. I'm not on much so I probably don't know the whole story, but, I think you are mad at Jazzfanz right now, and have been for a while, but you are hopelessly addicted to it. So you lash out and talk to everyone like they are stupid.

I could be wrong. I'm just guessing.


You've just been psycho analyzed.


Oh man I feel so much honor right now. I am addressed by grace of Hack The Great.

You are most funny writer. I want to make you my friend.

I accepted your friend request. :)


Dude, just answer the question.

Why are you talking the way you are?

Until you say why, myself and others will just have to assume. Please tell us.

This is what I know about your history here.

You were once called NAOS. You have had many beefs with people on here. You've called people many names. I thought you used to fit in just fine with all the haters. But now it seems that after your triumphant return as huge boobs failed, everybody turned on you. And now you don't fit in anymore, and hate everyone because of it. Why did you leave in the first place? I honestly don't know, and I'm genuinely interested.

Most this board hates me, but I don't get all weird about it and start talking weird for weeks.

I'm just wondering what you think it is that you are accomplishing with this, or if it's supposed to be funny. Sometimes things like that can be funny, but not if it's over played. I'm just saying.

Or did you genuinely crack and you are ready to kill everyone here?
