Utah Jazz officially put Trey Burke on the trading block
Per multiple reports
Pistons should make a run at him, right??
Trey is probably feeling better now, than the last time he trending on twitter

they are usually in the 6'3" - 6'6" range so they can at least try to match up with one of the opponents wing players on defense.
he did at UM. So many memories....I wish him the best and hope he extends his career and lives well.
Truth of the matter is the only reason he's still with Utah is because Exum blew out his knee last year. However, by the end of last year he was a consistent DNP coaches decision. He will be traded or cut. Either way, we shouldnt expect to see him in Utah next year.

I love Trey. He's one of Michigan's all-time great PGs. But he is not a prototypical NBA PG. I think he'd be better off playing overseas. Whatever happens, I wish him all the best. He deserves it for helping ressurect Michigan back into the national spotlight.
He is very eager to get out of Utah.
For a 2nd round pick down the line.
I'm not sure how much of a market there will be for Trey at this point. At his size, he's likely to always be a negative defender, and his offensive game, either as a scorer or distributor, hasn't come around to a level to be a plus on that end either. Perhaps a team with a lot of draft assets in the future, like Philadelphia or Orlando, might be willing to take a one-year flyer on him if they can pry him away for a protected second rounder.
I wouldn't go after him, unless he's willing to come off the bench. He was great at UM, but he's a high-volume, low-efficiency PG in the pros. There's a value in that, but with below-average defense Burke isn't a high-value FA. I'd rather the Pistons try to get a bigger backup PG and see if Stanley Johnson is ready for more playing time.
I don't know how to feel about Trey. He just hasn't proven that he's an average NBA player yet. I hope he improves as a shooter, because it's really bumming me out.
If Jameer Nelson can make it happen for 12 seasons, Burke should be able to, as well.
