Bad news is we lose the JYD.
Good news is this makes ATL better, and will hurt their tank.

this makes me sad. Always loved watching JYD play. You always knew he left it all out on the floor.
More than a few teams got better this year too.. Cavs.. Det.. Sac.. Wiz..

To be honest with you, only veterans would want to play for crap Corbin.
Carroll wanted to play more than the 10 minutes per game. An other coach and a more consistent role is all he wanted...

Word on the street is they didn't take Burke because they wanted to get a legit experienced PG this year as they're under pressure to improve?

Detroit fans were so pissed haha. Though it's not a good comparison at all, they compared it to when Indiana chose Reggie Miller over Steve Alford. Obviously not a good comparison because Burke didn't get picked 15 picks after KCP and because he won't be a scrub like Alford.

Lol, oh no we don't like the trade, queue bully syndrome from the flock. I agree 100% with what he said.

He did that for himself as much as he did for The Jazz. The NBA, NBADL and Europe are full of role players. Being able to illustrate to everyone that you're a solid citizen regardless of the circumstances can't hurt when it comes to negotiating with other teams.

This sucks. He should have played more last year and been re-signed this off season. Good Luck Demarre.

Yeah normally I'd be super miffed with Carroll leaving, but I have completely forgot about him now that we have Brandon Rush. I got high hopes for the man.

Great energy guy. Fantastic dreads. I hope fans give Millsap and Carroll loud ovations when Atlanta comes to play. I'm sure DMC is disappointed, but the Jazz picked him up off the junk pile, gave him a chance to resurrect his career. He earned it, 100%. And paid the Jazz back by doing the Jr. Jazz clinics. I wish him nothing but the best!

sad to see carroll go but i understand
minutes would be tough to come by and even harder if we get more draft picks
hawks dont really have much wing talent so he should get minutes

That and the jersey number issue with Trey Burke. The store puttin the TB3 jerseys killed any enthusiasm, I'd say of him rejoining us.

I doubt that was the issue. It could have been easily smoothed over as a mistake because DMC technically was not on the roster. I'm sure the Jazz were pretty set on just offering a one-year deal. With two first rounders next season (unless we combine and trade up) and Neto perhaps coming over, roster space is starting to get pretty tight, especially if Lindsey wants to leave a few spots open to pull off the same kind of trade he did with GS. If Utah decides to re-sign Rush, the Jazz will have enough wings: Burks, Hayward, Rush and their #1 pick. They'll need to pick up a 3rd big and a backup PG.
