Sac - he's better than Collison but he's not worth either McLemore or Nik.. Kanter+Burke for Terry (or Thompson if Utah wanted him)+McLemore? Not even close? Seems like a decent sized overpay by Utah but McLemore for Burke is an underpay IMO.
I'm the opposite of a Trey Burke booster, but McLemore was significantly worse than Burke last year by every measure. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how the Jazz are underpaying in a 1-for-1 swap.
Because I think McLemore has upside/potential? And Jazz fans have convinced me that Trey Burke is topped out. I thought he could be a starting quality NBA point guard with the right coach beating into his head how to dribble and to pass 2-3 times more a game rather than throwing it up..
Clearly Burke had a better rookie year.
There's a really big difference between potential and current trade value. I don't disagree McLemore has more potential (though I also don't have any confidence in his future and actually think Burke could easily have a better career if he accepts that he's a bench player).
