If one is being intellectually honest, one should probably include that this was in reply to a fan saying that Trey wasn't talented. He was obviously feeling attacked and was lashing out. I actually feel bad for Trey. He's at a point in his life that is hard for anyone to deal with. You aren't good enough to be what you always dreamed, and now you have to accept some lesser version of your life. It hits almost everyone (probably everyone) at some point or another.

No hard feelings from me. I just see it as immaturity on his part. Kind of like this post haha.

This is a great post. Youre probably right. I wonder of there are similar issues with former players at other places?

Damn mate go check Rondas pulse. Dieng an Adams got PAID! Not to mention Giannis Schroeder an even MC Williams got a $2.7 year deal.

I hope Ronda cries when her baby goes to Europe.

This"Corbin's pick" **** is so ****ing absurd.

Why?

It was well known, and publicly stated, that DL was under KOC for the start of his tenure. It culminated in the 2013 draft with Trey Burke. Corbin and KOC heavily influenced that pick. Again something that was publicly stated at the time. I think it was stated as DL didn't want Burke. I barely put 2013 on DL at all. Anything 2014 and later is all on DL.

Management threw Corbin a bone due to the popularity of the pick and Corbin's unpopularity. It was still the GM who made the decision and executed the trade to get Burke.

My understanding has always been that DL was limited as GM until the summer of 2013 when KOC stepped back.

But whatever. It's over with and Burke is gone.

I don't know why they'd hire a GM and not let him make GM decisions. Burke was seen as the top PG in that draft, and the Jazz desperately needed a PG. So of course "Corbin wanted Burke". Nonetheless, DL signed off on it, and most of us were really excited. Things didn't work out. Had they worked out, we would be counting Burke among DL's success stories, regardless of the couple of lines thrown about Corbin helping make that decision.
 
I wish a writer or insider would write the inside story on the Burke pick.

I heard Lindsey say it was Corbin who wanted Trey Burke...and I also noticed Lindsey never said Trey was his guy.

But I don't know if that was Lindsey trying to garner support for his embattled coach, or lay responsibility where it was due.

If Lindsey felt strongly opposed to Trey he could have just fouled up the trade arrangements with Minnysoda. But he was new to his job, and may have felt like he needed to impress the bosses, or make an impact for the fans since the Corbin, Haynerd and Favors projects were lagging.

I have also considered that Lindsey's opinion against Trey fell on the deaf ears of Randy Rigby, the Jazz president at the time, who saw Trey Burke as a marketing opportunity. If you recall the Jazz had Trey Burke jerseys printed with #3 a couple of days after the draft despite #3 belonging to DeMarre Carroll. The Jazz had to back-track and say it was a mistake, then put the Jerseys away for a couple of weeks.

In any event the crash and burn of trey set everything back. If you live life looking backwards that draft hurt.

The positives that came from it was I believe Lindsey validated his views on draft preparation, and gave him more power in the organization.

It also showed the fans Lindsey was not going to just sit back and see what came his way, he had the ability to go get a player he wanted.

Not really. I'd give most of that credit to Corbin.

But it didn't so whatever.
