Jazz Just Signed Trevor Booker According To Woj

[Mongoose]

What does Murphy provide? Energy > Nothing.

Haha... He's got size. I'd put size over energy and drawing ability. (TWSS) Murphy is supposed to be able to shoot, but he hasn't shown it yet. I think the Booker signing makes Evans completely expendable and I'd rather take on a younger player with arguably more potential.

TB is a solid player. People check his ESPN profile and see PF, 6'8", and that's it for them but dude can play.
This signing ads real depth to the FC rotation. It also may be about moving a big.

I like Trevor Booker. I just don't see the point in having Jeremy Evans or anyone else even.

Favors, Kanter, Booker, Gobert and Novak is enough big guys.

They will need minutes for everyone.

 

[Mongoose]

Glad you aren't a GM.

Haha! Cuz Evans is a huge difference maker? Evans isn't making any GM a genius...

Rather have Blatche, Humphries or Blair at that price, but Booker is a good energy guy. I guess that means Malcolm Thomas isn't making the final roster.

Murphy isn't a lights out shooter. If he was, he would be showing it. Instead, he puts the ball on the floor and bad things usually happen. Only thing that has been a positive about Murphy is that he has made some good swing passes.

Please be Evans!

 

[bjunior]

Wat?

There is a player who can?

And he's going to be a backup for the Jazz?

no

but i know a coach who can and he has almost the same salary as booker's

Murphy is extremely ****ty, dude

Uh yeah he has. Most 2nd round picks don't last in the NBA, Evans has (he wasn't even on a lot of team's radar).

That is a point to KOC's track record of making good picks.

Mongoose just moved into the top 10 worst posters on JF for the Evans hate.

Wrong forum...

I like the signal this sends about our intention TO WIN. We aren't using our cap-space as rental space. We're filling out the roster and directing all efforts toward winning.

If we sign Aminu next, then I'll be totally satisfied.

Jazz have a lot of *******. Good to bring in some non-******* to provide some muscle.

Agreed, the next signing should be a physical 3, then round out the roster with the non-guaranteed contracts.

 

[fishonjazz]

Meh.

Uh huh

wtf.

Yup

I don't get this at all. I know we need bench guys but why at that rate and for two years when re-signing Burks and Kanter are on the table next summer.

Perplexed me too

We need to make very calculated risks from here on out. If Exum and Roscoe pan out it's even more important to stay flexible over the next 4 years.

Agreed

This signing could very well hurt that flexibility next summer.

By itself it isn't really anything to worry about. But when you add this to the Hayward deal suddenly that is 6-7 million to much instead of 1-2. Goes along with a previous point I made about unhealthy deals pilling up.

Really hate the mindset of not getting talented players because they all "need" minutes. That is why you have a HC, so he can control the team and make them work together and not have minutes played be an issue with anyone.

Evans isn;t like Novak, Novak isn't like Booker, they are all different players who can play different roles based on situations. As a coach, that is what you want, flexibility so you can find what works and motivate players with earning playing time.

Not sure if you're serious. Aminu? The Pels fans are dying to get rid of him.

 

[HighlandHomie]

I love this signing. Booker is a gigantic upgrade from Evans. I love what DL is doing!

I can't wait to see how Snyder works with the roster because we have a handful of guys who can play and guard multiple positions. Granted we're young and mostly unproven, but the potential to be a major problem for other teams is definitely there. Welcome, Trevor!

This sounds good. Jazz somewhat addressed a lack of physicality amongst the bigs with the Booker signing, and could really use a physical wing to address what is a very weak perimeter rotation, from a physical standpoint.

Add more versatility.
