NBA Offseason Winners and Loosers So Far

NBA Offseason Winners and Losers: Post Draft

Winner #2: Utah Jazz

#2. Utah Jazz: While its hard to name a team a winner after just one trade being their only real offseason move, I think getting the NCAA men's basketball player of the year suffices. Trey Burke is an unbelievably great fit with this team and Utah was desperate for a true point guard. Considering they gave up only the last lottery pick and a mid first round pick up for him makes this trade look even better especially considering how week the draft was. If you think about who was available when those picks were up, even if Trey Burke doesn't develop into an All-Star point guard Utah really made a smart and wise decision here. With a young core of Trey Burke, Enes Kanter, Alec Burks, Gordon Hayward, and Derrick Favors the Jazz's future is looking bright, even if they let their front court duo of Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap go. I'd be interested to see whats next for this team and in my opinion considering how talented and deep the West is, the best course of action may be to let both Al and Paul go, (at least one of them should be allowed to walk) and follow the current NBA trend of tanking for next years draft where they might be able to find the missing impact young piece this team needs to put them over the top, I say a dynamic guard/small-foward.

Theres a lot of potential in the Great Salt Lake
