Where will Trey Burke End Up

Burke is an NBA player... we should have kept him in the rotation. Could have been a mildly intriguing asset. Now will be a salary dump. We will not buy him out.

agreed, his lack of apparent value is almost entirely related to the way he was handled ie the DNPCDs and the up and down nature of his role. in a different situation, his value wouldnt have plummeted nearly as much.

He improved year over year and we still jerked his minutes around.

Eh, I think the jazz felt that he was not part of the future for the jazz and thought that neto and mack could be..... Also felt that neto and mack were much better defenders and not much worse offensively if at all.

I get that they could have been "showcasing" him but even if they did we wouldn't have got much at all for him anyway imo (Though definitely more than we will get now)

I like that they chose their guys (mack and neto) to go to war with (they were trying to make the playoffs after all) and stuck with them.
 
Trey burke shot 41% overall, 34% from three, and 48% efg.

Neto shot 43% overall, 39.5% from three, and 50.7% efg.

Mack shot 44% overall, 36% from three, and 50% efg.

Trey was the least efficient of the three (and yet jacked up the most shots of the three and averaged the least assists per 36 of the three) and was the worst defender of the three players.

Quin made the right decision imo

Completely agree. Trey's value didn't drop cause of whatever Quin did. NBA GMs aren't idiots, he just doesn't have value. He provides no more than someone you can pick up in the second round/DLeague/Summer League.

I get that but he was on a good pace prior to being yanked from regular rotation minutes. If he isn't part of the future we should have found an upgrade in FA. It was before the Exum injury and I get that, but if we were going to pull Burke out early then address that in FA.

Remember Neto was not brought in to be the primary backup... he was supposed to be D League development. The wishy washyness was confusing.

Anyway the difference in value is negligible I guess. He just gets more hate than he deserves.

I disagree. For his entire (albeit short) nba career he has been a small, unathletic chucker pg who doesn't get his teammates involved and plays poor defense.
And we gave up multiple lotto picks to get him. And handed him a starting job and tons of minutes and a coach who loved him. He had a bitchy parent that always talked ****. He posted inappropriate pictures online.

Some of that isn't his fault. All of it are reasons to not like him.

Only thing he did good was not cry when his starting job went away and his minutes ace role decreased. That's it.

He had some stretches of good play. Pretty much every player in the nba does if given minutes.

He sucks. Always has. His value to other teams sucks. Always has.
None of that would have changed imo no matter how many minutes quin would have undeservingly handed to him.

This might be another one of those agree to disagrees..... Though often when this happens between you and I, I don't feel very confident that I'm right and can totally understand where you are coming from. This isn't one of those times.

Still love your takes most all the time though.

Perfect summary of what TB has been.

I think we all would have liked him to be more than that, but he's not.

Small, slow, unathletic, below average shooter who shoots a lot.
