BREAKING: Jazz sign Alec Burks to extension; 4 years, $42 million

[Xiao Yao You]

Can they just trade Exum already?

why is that?

Wait is Burks or Burke the good one?

Burks. Burke is the one with the hype.

This could turn out to be a good deal. Rather pay him that than Gordon 16.5 million or whatever. Alec is arguably their best player. Best scorer. Gets to the line. Great defensive potential. Improving shot. Can play 3 positions.

14/3/3 on 46/35/75.

Ouch. Utah bad

[Xiao Yao You]

Yes it's called tanking!

[QuebecBaller]

So... Burks Hayward and Favors = the Big 3 of Utah?

[salwan]

bradley's contract looks so much better now

what are u doing, utah

[salwan]

So... Burks Hayward and Favors = the Big 3 of Utah?

those three will eat up 38M of cap space next year

No according to most it would be Burke not Burks.

[QuebecBaller]

No according to most it would be Burke not Burks.

if there's some money left for him... Kanter is ready to get his part of the cake too

[Xiao Yao You]

There's going to be plenty of money in two years and Neto looks better anyway not to mention Exum, Hood and Gobert. Kanter has a lot to prove yet before he gets paid by the Jazz. Sure someone will pay him.

Unless Exum turns out to be a superstar, the Jazz are going to suck for the next 5 years. Hell, even if he does wind up being good they'll still probably suck with that core locked in around him.

The system is broken though. Its not dumb gms/owners. Its the system....always the system.

Next lockout we will hear about how these things cant continue..then they will get a new system...and do it anyway.

[ZHAKIDD532]

I've barely ever heard of this guy. He's worth $10M/year?

[Xiao Yao You]

We'll see. They're the 3rd youngest team in the league. Another high pick coming next summer. Two of their best players are playing in Spain right now.

So confusing.

burks is the good one

this is a gamble, but i think he will be underpaid when the salary cap jumps. i like burks, more than hayward

[Xiao Yao You]

I've barely ever heard of this guy. He's worth $10M/year?

Not now no. These contracts are usually based on potential. The increasing salary cap makes it hard to say what he's really worth. I'd rather pay him that than pay Favors and Hayward what they are getting. He's got more upside. He's continuing to improve. He's got an elite skill, getting to the line.
