What if Trey Burke....

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Has a reasonably good season, let's say.....

42% FG shooting
35% from 3pt land
12 ppg
6 apg


And we make the playoffs as a 6th-8th seed and have a compeitive first round exit where Burke performs just as well in the playoffs as he did in the regular season and shows promise.

Do you trade Burke for a mid-first round pick or do you keep him and try to re-sign him after his contract runs up?

If he's playing that well, I sell high. I'd package him into a deal for the best player I can get back. Even with Exum's injury, I just don't see Burke as being in the team's long term plans. I'd rather see them move him for someone who is.

I think we have the pieces to put together a good package for an all-star if the opportunity arises.

I actually think that's what he'll do. Maybe even better. I think he's a better shooter than his numbers have indicated.

You ****s would still hate him if he improves? smh!

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I think we'd either trade him out or keep him as a rotation guy. He's not going to be elite, but maybe if he's a 4th option he can learn to complement other guys. Keep in mind, he's been acting like he's the first or second option offensive player in his first two seasons, in part because we've lacked that alpha scorer. But if he'll mellow out and just try to fit in, he could be an adequate player.

As do I. I think if he is able to simply bring the ball up and then be a spot up shooter, he'd excel. He just needs to stop shooting unless it's a spot up. Unless he's getting an inbound from full court with less than a second left in the clock -- then he needs to fire that **** up and, if he holds it as time expires to protect his %, he needs to be benched for the rest of the game. Same goes for anyone else.

Trey on a rookie deal is one thing, but giving him his next contract is another. Sell high.

You now have your backup pg of the future.

I think Trey Burke has the ability and the potential to be a very solid starter in the league. I also think he hasn't fully transitioned to the speed of the game at the NBA level or adjusted to the nuances of the way he is defended, etc.

With that being said, I think if he was ever going to make an impression, now is the time with Dante sidelined. But, I also think that 12 and 6 is not all that great or even that big of a jump. I'd call it average PG work at best.
