More time for GTime and Burks...Tough blow for Howard, don't think we'll see him play in a jazz uni again.

And we probably could've got a late 1st for him.

Good thing we held onto him at the deadline. Such an invaluable piece of our future!

That sucks i really liked him. Best of luck to him hopefully its a fast recovery. But i am excited to see more Burks!

Bell still out as well. Makes sense to play Millsap some 5-10 min per game at SF bc we also need more time for Favors.

So I guess we are looking at a CJ/Hayward starting lineup now?

Hopefully Burks will get 15-20 mpg now.

Too bad. Our defense won't be as good with him out.

This changes the lineups. Who's getting more minutes? I hope its not CJ or Bell (when he's back).

Howard was surprisingly good this season. Hopefully this isn't career ending, I would love to see him back next year or on a contender.

Too bad for Josh..... He was a pro for us this year...... Best wishes to him, and a full and speedy recovery......

Howard hopes to be back by the playoffs. I love his attitude he has shown this year.

He probably earned himself another roster spot next season but hopefully not with the jazz. Good for him.

Sucks for Howard. Also sucks for Jazz since it sounds like they may have opted not to trade him at the deadline.

So after the deadline Howard gets injured meanwhile Danny Green combined for 38 points in his last two games.

Lesson learned: Always stay with the 30 + year old foward with on expiring contract and shooting 39% on a team that needs to rebuild over the young promising talent.

Sorry to hear about Howard, but we need more time for Burks. Hopefully Bell will be out for the rest of the season too so he can rest for next season when the Jazz trade him to a contender.

the guy earned his playing time; i also think utah got some calls from other team at the trade deadline, but i doubt they offered more than a 2nd round pick

It's bad, cause the guy is pro and great cutter + really strong rebounder for his position.

Burks minutes will rise up, until Bell returns(when it will happen?)

and 5 mins will have Carroll. I liked him today in a win over OKC. Tough guy. Good at the defensive end.

I wish Josh a speedy recovery. He played well for us.
