    Last year they gave a 2nd rounder for a player to start so that Burke wouldn't have to play. They don't like his defense at all (an understatement). Still, he is a good offensive player. He and Lillard won the Skills test together the year before last.

    I don't know for sure Utah would do this, but they probably would. Jazz have FIVE PGs!

    No, our issue is guard defense not offense, we don't need another sieve at D

    Also agreed. This team desperately needs some defense in the back-court and it looks more and more like Crabbe may get an offer of over $10M so he might be gone. GP2 or another defensive oriented guard is very much needed...preferably one with a little more size.
