What's the Status on Burks?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Burks has played in 28 games this year and is getting paid 10,000,000.

So far he is on pace to make $357,000 a game

Hayward getting paid 15,409,000 for 66 games so far, or $233,478 a game.

Talk about wasted $$$ on Burks.

My argument is don't rush him back if he's not 100 but if he's healthy and ready to go than play him

Well he was supposed to be ready between 6-8 weeks.
I think we might be at week 12 now. I don't think he will be rushed back.

I worry that he can go but they just are not playing him for some reason.

I wonder if Burks had good life insurance. Maybe his progeny is totally rolling in it right now.

Bring him back nice and easy, give him Johnson's 15 minutes a night. Amazing what a difference he makes to our bench (on paper at least)

If they're not playing him for some reason I would think it's maybe a set back? There's nothing league rules wise that says they have to keep everything up to date on where they're at as far as I know.

I got the sense early in the season, seems so long ago now, that Burke and Burks had something to prove. Like they got together and said "let's show the NBA we're NOT bench players!" and they actually seemed to play really well together and were doing pretty well and getting some points for the Jazz off the bench. Then injuries started to happen, lineups changed, then Burks got hurt, trade rumors surrounded Burke... Now we see stretches when the 2nd unit comes in and the Jazz don't score a ****ing point until the starters start rotating back in to the point that at least three starters are back on the floor.

We NEED Burks in the 2nd unit. 15 mother****ing points off the bench! Give me Burke and Burks! I want that.

Alec is continuing to progress. There has not been any sort of setback. He is progressing well, and working awfully hard.

One of the biggest things that has happened since Dennis Lindsey has come in, is the level of sports science. *explains that they want to make sure he won't have another injury*Is his entire body ready? Not saying just "is he healed".

The expectation is that he will play before the season is over

apparently Sports Science provides a lot of avenues for hyper-conservative and **** scared decision-making.

Dear FO,

It sucks when a player doubles the recovery time and the only thing we hear about is from your mouth piece who tells us how cutting edge you are.

...and, Locke immediately backtracked on his statement that the expectation is for Burks to play this year. Immediately after he said it. Not sure why Dal didn't include that part. Locke doesn't know. He does know that Lindsey has a tasty knob.

Everyone that gets hurt this year takes forever to heal. At this point Exum will miss next season
