Will Burks and Kanter get contract extensions?

[Doublea]

I hope so. But we were thinking that Hayward might as well. Then again, they won't have Corbin as their coach...

That and they haven't had as many of minutes as Hayward.

 

[VINYLONE]

Absolutely.

 

[da ThRONe]

Barring some type of trade you would have assume yes.

I like Hayward, but I'm almost hoping he doesn't comeback so that Burks can have his starting spot and show his true form!

Or just have a coach willing to move Hayward to SF and play Alec at SG.

And continue to be a sub-30-win team?

Kwame got $8 million for a year so why not $9mm for Kanter right? Once that's done, let's franchise tag Burks at 8/40, then go scrape some resin from the chimney stack to celebrate the two most ****ed up decisions of all time.

Designated players have to be given the max.

Do you think playing hayward at the 2 and someone like jefferson or marv at the three will have us being better than a 30 win team?


I say if we dont have a significant upgrade at the wing position (which is likely to happen) i would love to roll with a lineup with burks and hayward to achieve our sub 30 win season rather that keep burks on the bench another year in favor of some run of the mill vet just for ****s and giggles

Starting Gordo-Alec at the 2-3 is not a longterm solution if you want a winning team. They don't give nearly enough defense to make up for their mediocre offense. You can keep both longterm only if one of them is coming off the bench. If the FO/coaching staff isn't sold on one of them being groomed into a 6th man, they should move one or both of them. If they're not sure yet, they should play one as a 6th man to see if he can stick in that role, and then decide whether to move one or both of them (or extend Alec).

Good answer...
I would counter by saying that they are extremely young and i believe that they are not finished products (especially alec).
Maybe more experience and better coaching makes them less of liabilities on defense.

I mean who has actually been a good defender in corbins defense over the last 3.5 years? Favors kind of and thats about it.

Tony allen might be horrible on defense under corbin

They're overmatched physically. That's not Corbin's fault.

If the Jazz have plans to go with Gordo-Alec starting on the wing moving forward, there's no point following the Jazz.
