It's more about replacing garbage with garbage. Burke sucks and bringing him in won't help. I agree we need a better backup but it needs to be someone better then him. Yep, garbage by any other name is still.....garbage!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Can we have Jennings and Scola instead of Patterson and Kelly, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member sturt Posted February 28, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Call me crazy, but I can't help but be intrigued, if Jennings sign with the Wiz, about Trey Burke (who some presume would be released). Working theory is that he was just one of those kids who had too much thrust on him at 20 years old, and that his drawbacks are much less physical than have been advertised, and much more psychological. He had the tools coming out of Michigan, there's absolutely no doubt about that. So, I'm curious whether being on a roster with one of his former Wolverine running mates who, himself, has been through that same sort of crucible, might be an extremely valuable thing, both for his career, and for the Hawks. He's, at minimum, capable of doing what Shelvin did for us offensively, but I think he'd provide more just b/c he's a significantly better shooter from deep. That said, his defense is just average even on his best days. At 24, tho, I think he's still got time to develop there, and we could do a lot worse for a 3rd PG. Would I rather have Jennings? Yes, mainly because Jennings' experience. Nothing would overwhelm him, and I believe he's still capable of taking over games with his scoring, and when he wants to be, is an exceptional assist guy. I think our younger guards would benefit from a more veteran player in the mix with them. But that said, I won't be very upset if Burke ends up on our roster as a consequence. In the short term, he would immediately become the 2nd best 3p shooter on the team. In the longer term, if we could get him on a deal with a non-guaranteed 2017-18 like we just did Patterson and Kelly, that would seal the deal for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 As someone who's watched Washington, I can't say I am impressed with Burke. But I will say if he is redeemable, this system could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scola shot forty percent from three last year in seventy six games averaging twenty ones minutes a game.

Thomas Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 So with the Jenning's news I guess Burke will indeed be an option soon. With all his problems he does have that thing we lack for the most part this year right now, over forty percent from three. We all know our staff can coach up the shit out of many a vet. That part is covered. Not bringing in the in game coaching woes, lots of other threads for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member sturt Posted March 1, 2017 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 So, Jennings appears DC bound. I'm anticipating a big letdown, though, and that they'll cut someone else... or that some other team with a little more money will swoop in and remove Burke from consideration.
