The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards have agreed to a trade centered on guard Trey Burke.
Wizards will send second-round pick to Utah for Burke, who had fallen out of Jazz's future plans. Great reset button on Burke's young career

Burke had fallen out of favor in Utah, and the return of Dante Exum and the trade for George Hill was a clear sign he would be moved. The Wizards were in need of guard depth and Burke will likely backup John Wall.
Burke was a former lottery pick, going No. 9 overall in the 2013 NBA Draft. He's coming off his worst year in terms of playing time, points, rebounds and assists. However, he set career marks in shooting percentage and 3-point shooting.
The Wizards gave up very little to land Burke. The pick will reportedly be in 2021.
