If there is one thing I know it is that Trey Burke is a WINNER. Utah is getting a great player and a great guy. I'm gonna miss him in the maize and blue.
Thats makes sense for Minnesotta. I don't really feel bad for Trey since he'll be a multi millionaire but, playing in Utah is bleh
I don't think he cares. He's getting paid an exorbitant amount of money to play the game he loves. If he decides down the road that Utah isn't the place for him, then he can get traded. If he's worth his salt in this league, he'll be able to go anywhere he wants.
There is an ample amount of salt in Utah. As a Jazz fan I am very excited about this move. I think Trey can fill a great need for the team. I have also heard that the Jazz are actively pursuing John Stockton as an assistant coach. So, maybe Trey can learn from one of the best point guards.
utah sucks.
So you're saying its a good thing for Burke?
Utah sucks as compared to the rest of the lottery teams??? Dont understand your logic.
This will be great for Utah and Burke. Despite the coaching change, they still love the Stockton style pick & roll and that's Burke's bread & butter.
Actually seems like a pretty good situation for him as well. Good team, should get some playoff experience relatively quick, good for him. P.S. Fuck you Pistons, Fuck you
I would upvote you 1,000 times if I could. It looks like they are going to let it ride with Brandon Knight and that is a shame.
Utah has a basketball team??? O_o
When Burke was still available when the Pistons were picking I was hoping so much they would pick him. Would have been so amazing to root for his team and have him stay in Michigan
I don't know much about the Jazz, but they've earned a new fan!
Also: may the Pistons continue to suck.
Joe D is dead to me.
Go Jazz. I'll be pulling for Trey Burke forever. He is one of my favorite Michigan athletes and I hope he makes those 8 other teams regret passing on him tonight.
Also, I'm done with the Pistons. They suck and I hope they suck forever.
There is nothing about utah that makes me think jazz
The basketball franchise does it for me...
can this Dumars thing go on....? I think he had a lobotomy 5 years ago.
Im so pissed that he passed on Trey...I just need a nap right now...
Trey has always played with a chip on his shoulder. You better believe he will in the NBA. I have no doubt in my mind he will be a very good player for the Jazz. I am now a Jazz fan forsure.
I like the move for the Jazz--their 3 point guards are a combined nine million years old.
I also don't mind the pick for Trey. Deron Williams parlayed some years in SLC to a nice contract with the Nets. And not that I would be worried about this with Trey, but he certainly won't be distracted by the vibrant night life. At least after 8:30 p.m., that is.
Congrats, Trey!
Live in Lehi, Utah. 20 minutes from SLC. Getting my season tickets!! Finally someone to chear for in SLC.
It's been three months. But after the passage of time and the heartbreak of loss, I can say with certainty that these words will always give me chills:
"Burke. Fires, for THREE...The game is tied!"
May it often be.
Bias aside, Joe Dumars really screwed this up. Pistons need a true point guard or a scoring small forward, they have too many natural 2 guards - Brandon Knight, Rodney Stuckey, Kim English (However, I would have loved the Macklemore draft pick). With Trey and Michael Carter-Williams on the board, it was almost a cant miss - just take a point guard... Joe Dumars needs to be fired. His good draft picks, Andre Drummond and MAYBE Greg Monroe, were luck. This team is going no where without a gm that is competent, and an owner that shows up for things and cares.
Well they drafted Peyton Siva in the second round it seems.
Perhaps their New Orleans origin might make the moniker more coherent?
Still don't know why they didn't change their name when they moved from Louisiana to Utah in 1979.
Equally nonsensical.
Also:
Memphis Grizzlies
Calgary Flames.
At least the city of Winnipeg got to keep the name "Jets" when their team left town. Certainly helped upon the second decampment of an ATL franchise.
Why doesn't flames make sense? Always though of it as a generic nickname that travelled with the team
during the cvil war.

Go Jazz. Trey is gonna beat dat Piston azz.
As probably the only one here who was a Jazz fan an hour ago, I'm happy as a pig in shit right now.
Does anyone else hate the Smugness of David Stern?
Among other things, yes.
Boo Pistons I mean Dumars.
Congrats Trey!
Well I just moved to SLC, so woot!
Hope you don't like beer.
Love beer, found I just have to buy it from the state's stores to get the real stuff. Dig Uinta brewery thus far.
Check out the Epic store on State Street and Red Rocks makes great brew and food.
Take some home for the wives!
CRAP we had him! He had the hat on! Shit!!!!!!
You had him at hello. And only then
I was a Magic fan when Shaq and Penny Hardaway were doing things down there and that's exactly how I felt after they drafted Webber and then traded him. Could you imagine Shaq, Penny and CWebb together?!!! Why didn't that happen!!!! Grrrrrrr!!!!
You must have been some fan huh?! Webber was traded to Golden State for Penny! They came to the league the same year! So you would have been way hung Shaq and Webber instead of Penny.
*watching
Stupid iPhone!
Eh you got me. I'm old and my memory sucks. Sue me. But Shaq and Webber still!!!!!!!
I have it on good authority that Shaq is way hung.
J/k but not really. Srsly.
My friends out here that are Jazz fans are thrilled. Utah was in desperate need for a pg. they might be the youngest team in the league next year, depending in who they get to round out their roster, as they only have 6 players under contract right now. He's going to get thrown right into the fire and this team will probably struggle for a bit, but could be fun to watch.
Joe Dumars=worst GM in league. Let's look at his draft history failures...Cleaves, White, Daye, Stuckey, Darko, Maxiel, Knight. I know the only game I'll go to is when Utah comes to town so I can root on Burke.
Enjoy the unlmited nachos in your suite, you fat ass!
Lifelong Michigan fan...but Pistons I'm so frustrated with tonight. Burke could have gone six...falls to Pistons...and Dumars craps his pants and picks a player almost no one has heard of. Ugh. Thank goodness for Michigan sports.
