Showcase him when he’s our first Klutch client in 12 years? He’s a keeper


Why would Klutch be mad at trading him to a contender. He came here to boost his stock for a better contract

Stop trying to trade our new Strus and get rid of that 19.4 million eating up our cap space. Burks makes almost nothing. We need players like him

We still have few players in that mold, but overall the skill ceiling of the league definitely gone up.


Yeah for sure old school style players still exist and I’m being hyperbolic but I find the game is less pleasing to the eyes. It obviously gets way better in the playoffs with more game planning and play calling. It also varies depending on which teams you’re watching.

I just found the game more enjoyable before the whole analytic / perimeter focused approach. Not every team has a perimeter magician like curry.

He makes almost nothing. A 2nd rd pick does nothing. Keeping him and try to use Rozier or Duncan contracts in a trade package for something significant is much more productive

A change in rules would certainly help, but I believe the skill ceiling in this era is so high that nearly everyone possesses multi-skills.
