What's new

ty lawson to the jazz?

I think it's just this:

Utah plans on making him the 3rd string PG next year, meaning he will get close to 0 minutes per game. That makes his trade value plummet. Might as well trade him now that his improvement curve is slightly up (even though he has cooled off since the start of the season). I dont think this is agent/player driven, it's just Utah recognizing this is the best time to deal Burke and get something worthwhile in return.

But if that's true, can't they do that during the offseason? What's the rush in getting it done at the trade deadline this year? One could argue he could improve even more as we fight for the playoff spot plus it's not like we have 3 PGs right now, Trey is our solid backup PG so he should still be getting big minutes.
 
I have a funny feeling what's holding up this deal is to do with extra draft picks coming Utah's way or the right to swap future picks.

Every year at this time, the overwhelming majority of deals get done right at the trade deadline. I think what's holding up the deal is that the Jazz are waiting to see if they get a better offer.
 
Mavs last year gambled on rondo and look where that went.

straight to the **** hole.
I think they were counting on rondo to be their starter and a star and a core piece.

Don't think that's the case with lawson and the jazz
 
I'm hoping they leaked this to drop the asking price on George Hill. He's a perfect fit here

Ya, definitely rather have hill
 
his team isnt doing well.

is he maybe part of the problem?

didnt boston go on a big run soon as they traded him?
They won a championship with rondo too iirc
 
I was thinking this was a great move to lower the asking price on Teague but Hill works. I can't see Lawson coming to Utah or Utah even wanting him.
