The Utah Jazz cleared up a crowded point guard position as they moved backup guard Trey Burke to the Wizards in exchange for a future second round pick.
The Jazz traded its No. 12 pick in the 2016 Draft for George Hill earlier this summer and are expecting former top-five pick Dante Exum to return from last summer’s ACL surgery. Burke was drafted No. 9 overall in 2013. He has averaged 12.1 points, 4.2 assists and 2.5 rebounds during his career.
Woj had the report:

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
