We HAVE to make a trade.

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Nothing major is going to happen until the 15th of January at the earliest.

The best the Jazz could do now is get a vet on a team that decides they want to full embrace tanking. A lot of teams are doing well right now though, so I dont know who'd that be.

Are the Cavs realistic and not asking too much for Korver?

Would the Suns move off of Ariza?

Edit* Ariza is probably January 15th as well, so nvm*

Those are the only two real possibilities I can think of off the top of my head.

Like I said...

I like Burks, but if we're being honest, he's like a bigger version of Monta Ellis. He just doesn't have the competitive drive to match his physical talents.

Damnit see this is what you get when you ask for a trade, damnit damnit damnit.

I like Korver fine, I just liked Burks and the two 2nd's more, it always feels like the Jazz come out on the worse side of almost every one of the few trades they do (when involved players not draft day picks).

Oh yes, I'm sure we'll be feeling the impact of losing all that for years to come.

The Jazz want to play in free agency this summer. This move helps the Jazz's credibility a bit, imo. They need to make the playoffs.

The Jazz were going to lose Burks this off season, and he hasn't been consistent enough to make a difference this year. Now with Korver we have a bonafide shooter, and we probably have space for guys like Exum and Royce to go to the rim. Getting anything back for Burks is a win, imo.

Absolutely outstanding move. For once, DL makes a move early.

I feel like this board's discussion picking Lindsay's record apart should get most of the credit.

It speaks of desperation to me. He sold the millers on tanking and taking on bad contracts to assemble talent. The talent all sucked, he let his best player walk for nothing and now he has spent the last asset in the cupboard on a short term gain trying to get the team into the playoffs.

I think Olynyk would be awesome here.

His 3pt shooting is barely better than Favors over November. What else does he bring that's an improvement?

Nothing.

Nothing.

That's what I thought.

The Jazz were making the playoffs before this trade.
