Welp, it appeared that you were. You see that, right?
What PG do you want the jazz to go get?

Defense-first floor spreader that can handle the ball but doesn't need to in order to be effective, won't shoot you out of games, doesn't turn the ball over, and for basically free? And done all of this at the highest level possible? That doesn't sound like a good fit to you?
Maybe I'm living in the past. I don't know how he performed last season. At all, basically.
Im conflicted here. At one end, I feel bad for how stupid you guys on here will look when Cotton is starting for your team and you guys are loving it (despite doubting him the whole off-season). But at the other end, I am very excited to see Cotton as a successful starting NBA point guard.
Just remember when you are buying his jersey, you doubted him.

Chalmers probably benefited more than any other player on the Heat when it came to playing next to LeBron and Wade. He didn't have to play like a "point guard" at all. In the few games I saw this year, he looked pretty meh. In my opinion, I'd rather roll with Burks at the "point guard" than bring in Chalmers.
Do we need a traditional point guard, or do we need a guy that won't use possessions that he shouldn't and gives spacing and those possessions to better players?
Sorry that most UTAH JAZZ FANS might want players that have proven absolutely ****ing anything in the NBA. You should probably keep taking it personally.

This.
But Chalmers' shooting fell off the cliff last year (<30% on his three's). He may not provide spacing if he's lost his range. He did take 5 fewer shots per game than Trey, so there's that. However, the fact no one wants him is telling. I'll admit I'm undecided. Either Neto or Cotton could be a very effective backup PG for Exum next year and beyond. But one would have to be cut to keep Chalmers for one year.
I could've taken a minute to find that info but didn't. Thanks. Obviously, if he can't play, he can't play. He's just generally had the reputation as a decent shooter and plus defender is all. So again, I may just be living in the past.
But if it costs a second-rounder? I don't know.

Price is right, but whose roster spot does he take? I think that's the consideration. I don't think DL would hesitate to make a move if there's a significant upgrade: Bradley, for example.
DL once said he wants Utah to be known as the place that doesn't give up on players..
Based on that I dont think a move would be made for a PG to come in and play in front of Burke. I think they will give Burke another shot.
