Jazz are lucky that McLemore fell to the Kings. Otherwise we might have traded out 14 + 21 + Burks to get Burke and...............Jimmer.

Jazz played their cards brilliantly. Some Sixers fans are pissed that we skipped over them to grab Burke.

Sixers are getting Carter-Williams to replace J'rue Holliday. Good luck with that.

Jazz had their choice of McCollum and Burke, and they took the player they wanted.

Yes they gambled and lost. I doubt they make that trade if they knew Burke and McCollum would both be gone. Now they have a historically bad shooting back court of Carter Williams and Evan Turner. They will be tanking hard for Wiggins after a few weeks.
 
2. He is small. But not that small. And this is not that big a deal.
Burke measured 5-foot-11 and 3/4 inches tall at the pre-draft combine. But that just measures him to the top of his head, and how often does a player use the top of his head?
Burke has big hands and is deceptively long. He has a longer reach than Lehigh guard C.J. McCollum, even though McCollum is 2-1/2 inches taller. Some teams may like Syracuse guard Michael Carter-Williams better than Burke because Carter-Williams has "an NBA body," but they need to look more closely. Carter is, indeed, five inches taller than Burke. But his wingspan is only 1-3/4 inches longer.

Honestly, I don't want to read much into it but you can't work on your Minnesota speech as any moderately educated person can't expect he will stay in Minnesota and likely will be traded. This along with his "Looking forward to play in Utah with Kyle Korver" slip then corrected in twitter by "I meant Gordon Heyward" means he's got no clue what's going on at all.
He definitely will have chip on his shoulder after slipping that much but he doesn't come across like too bright.

I had to get out of bed just to neg rep you.

Well, to his defense, IIRC, he didn't work out for Utah. And at #14, I doubt the Jazz were even on his radar. He sounded better in a later interview saying he heard Salt lake was a great city, had talked to Ty and that Tinsley had tweeted him. That's right, our UFA Jamaal Tinsley. Sounds like the Jazz will definitely be bringing Tinsley back as their 3rd PG and mentor to Trey.
 
Philly did fine. They got Noel and a 2014 first-round pick from NOLA of some kind.

Their backcourt took a beating though giving up J'rue Holliday.

They could only offer #11 and a 2nd-rounder to Minny, so it probably wouldn't have beat our offer.

And only top-3 protected. NO really reached on this one. Even if they were to draft 4-7 or so, they'd end up with a potential franchise player. That's a lot to give up for a wing.

Yeah, when they initially announced that deal they had the 14' 1st rounder going back to NOLA along with Holliday and everyone on here was like "WTF? WTF?" Now that they got that sorted out, it isn't some unbelievable deal for NOLA.

Agreed. They are going to really be hating life if they end up losing out on a franchise player because of this deal.
