in the Simmons podcast, Chad Ford claimed that the Jazz did pull out all the stops trying to trade up to get Cousins.

I hope to soon hear that the Jazz are dealing with Udonis Haslem. Not a sexy player, but someone who could play both big spots, hit some shots, and play some defense.

I think going after undersized PF's is the last thing we should be doing. We need someone with length to back up the PF spot. I like Haslem a lot but not for us. We need a big back up big man.
Haslem cannot play both big spots........he is 6-8? He can only play PF.

Can't Miami sign him with Bird Rights? It's a tax issue with them, not a Cap issue.

They have to renounce him to clear the cap space. Until they renounce him, he counts against their cap at 150% of his previous salary. At least I think that's the percentage. I do know he counts against it until they renounce him.

Who is this big man you speak of?

I would rather have AK back up Millsap and sign another wing player to play some of AK's old minutes. And play Koufos at the PF spot.

Your are right about there not being any free agent PF's available. But signing haslem would probably mean a 3-4 year contract and that would limit us. I would rather Develop Koufos and use AK's versatility this year while waiting for a better options for PF.

And we do not have a chance at Haslem either way. We can't offer much more than other teams. And utah is not a place he will want to play. So it doesn't really matter anyways.
Trust me I like Haslem a lot as a role player. Just not in this situation.

Meh Okafor, Chandler, not interested at all. Jefferson is still very young and has a tremendous post game, Id consider him if Minnesota is looking to unload him. He is big enough to play some center as well.

 

[Revolution 9]

We need to wait until next year until we have money to spend.

Some FA's I'd like to go after are Al Horford, Joakim Noah, or Glen Davis.
Maybe on: Joel Przybilla, Carl Landry, David West, Marc Gasol, Yao Ming, or Nene Hilario
