He used the nebulous "draft assets" without specifying what exactly those would be. He even said "other incentives (if any)" in his original post suggesting the belief that Burks for Ersan and Babbitt straight up is value enough. Couple that with his downplaying of both Ersan and Babbitt as players and the value of the cap space their expiring deals would create while at the same time stating the Jazz's goal of creating cap space to benefit themselves doesn't lend me to believe that whatever potential "draft assets" he'd propose are really of any value to the Hawks.
Truthfully, neither Babbitt or Ersan are going to bring us anything of value in return. Ersan's injury has killed his value since his pt has been greatly taken over by Collins and Prince getting extended minutes. There is probably 15-20 for both, neither is going to show off.
While he did say that, he then went after and said draft pick assets. I would have waited until he said what that was.
Granted he was also responding to King Ken so there is that...

Well most trade proposals you lead with what you think is fair rather than trying to diminish what it is you hope to attain. We're not 4 year olds and all the other RealGM teams are not our older brother telling us to give them all of our candy because it's disgusting and we wouldn't like it. Most of us here are old enough to ask "well why do you want it then?"
It doesn't take much to research what "draft assets" Utah has. They basically have their own picks and a couple 2nds owed starting in 2021, I brought up a 1st already only to be called crazy so the potential "draft assets" being offered picture is rather clear. That and we are not strictly discussing Ersan and Babbitt's value, we're are also discussing the value that their expiring contracts have.
Given all that, Alec Burks is a very disappointing return.
