Will the Jazz trade TB and PK before the deadline?

Trey Burkeulosis. LOL. I just thought of that. You're welcome.

I still have faith in Burke to become a good bench scorer. I think that is his NBA role. I think he has a pretty good shot, his selection just needs to get better (limiting the really bad shots). I doubt we can get much back in a trade for him and I think he is a good 7th man off the bench.

I don't think they will trade either one at this point because, Burke has played well off the bench and Exum hasn't really shown he is ready yet. No one is going to give us anything for Kanter because he is a free agent this year and hasn't proven he can consistently produce.

Not true. If there's a team that likes Kanter trade now and you match any offer to insure you can sign him in the offseason

Not sure Burke's stock can get much higher. We may be able to sell now to a team that thinks he can be utilized in a better fashion and needs a change of scenery. But if his mediocrity continues and continues, those same teams may just start to think that he stinks and is beyond repair so to speak.

I suppose it's possible a trade is being discussed and the other team wanted to see how Trey would do against backups. However, I think it's far more likely that Trey's trade value is so low that he's worth more to us to keep as a backup. I could see him as a throw-in in a future trade, but getting benched so close to the trade deadline likely means he won't be moved now, IMO.
