Utah's Alec Burks will not need immediate shoulder surgery

If his shoulder has been a problem since before he entered the league and it's getting worse then I see no reason why he should NOT get surgery.

Really? It's been a problem since college? If that's the case the Jazz were idiots to give him an extension.
 
Burks should probably just get the surgery.

Good on his agent. Got him the big extension. If Burks hadn't signed and this injury happened, it would have probably decrease his contract. Our overpay just got more overpaid.

And our strong tank gets stronger.

Always hindsight on injuries. However, if it isn't season-ending and he returns after Christmas, I doubt the injury will have any effect on what he would have been offered as a FA. It's not a major injury; he should recover fully. Only caveat would be if it IS true that his shoulder has been bothering him since college (first I heard of that was Numberica's post). Then you have to wonder about a chronic condition that could continue to cause problems.

DL is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. MOst everyone thought Hayward's value would be $10M or so. Some even said $8M and the high was around $12M, IIRC. SO DL waits and Utah has to match a max offer to keep him. Now some are saying the Burks contract is a big overpay. Of course, we'll never know. With the cap going up significantly, I think the next round of salaries for SG's will make Burks contract seem about right.

never heard of any shoulder problem.

I know he never missed a game in his first two years for anything.

Last year he missed a couple for a minor ankle sprain.

never heard of a shoulder issue before now
 
Can I just say that I can't believe some of your **** heads are already talking about tanking.

I hate you so badly.

Dear sir,

At what point in the season would you suggest is the correct time to begin tanking.. considering the desired outcome of what tanking is?
