Gasoft is softer than Boozer, but he also defends somewhat better than Booze. No brainer if it works moneywise.

True story. And Locke was musing about it because the Fake Show is deep in Luxury Tax territory, and trading Gasol for Al could save them a ton of money.

Does Favors have a line in his contract stipulating that he gets to choose the position that he plays? Why are fans proposing all these scenarios where the players get to decide what happens? We're all worried that Millsap is gonna be mad about coming off the bench, and now this. The best...

Where is the evidence of Millsap's "insistance" [your spelling] to start? Like everyone, he wants to start--and play. I don't recall that he's pouted much. Maybe the media has played it up a bit when his role was in question. Millsap has been a beneficiary of a play-for-performance...

What part of recurrent back injury, kamikaze drives into the lane, 31 years old, unrespected outside shot, and we-traded-for-an-SF-who-is-5-years-younger-reportedly-hardworking-and-athletic do you not understand?

Why would Kirilenko want to come back? He's having so much fun dominating with the junior varsity (Euroleague).

Fixed. Deron lashing out at Sloan suggests that lack of deep pockets was not necessary D-Will's #1 concern.

Based on last year's stats, it's not necessarily true that CB > AJ. https://www.nba.com/playerfile/carlos_boozer/career_stats.html https://www.nba.com/playerfile/al_jefferson/career_stats.html Big Al was better at TOs and blocks, too. And I'd place higher odds on Jefferson playing passable...

True; Kirilenko's price tag doesn't make him worse than Marvin Williams. At least not exclusively. Kirilenko's age, poor shooting decisions, weaker physique, TOs (relative to MW), likely worse outside shooting threat (relative to MW), possibly worse attitude problems (especially coming out...

It's not unreasonable to think that a 6'9" 245-lb, 26-year-old Marvin Williams (who shot 39% from the 3 last season, has a reputation for defense, and rebounded & scored at a similar rate as AK in his last season) just might be better than a 31-year-old Kirilenko who has been playing...

Nice interview right now by David Locke on 1280 the zone https://v5.player.abacast.com/v5.1/player/index.php?uid=6501 [I'm sure that they will post a replay, too] www.1280thezone.com

Where are these bona fide sources that Millsap is "expecting" to be "anointed" starter? (Every player wants to be a starter and might be unhappy if he isn't--if he's a borderline starter or better.) Millsap has averaged a reasonable ~3.5 PFs/game; if anything, he sags off at times to moderate...

I'm not convinced that it is particularly easy to unload and/or trade Harris, no matter how much or little the Jazz want to.

If Millsap doesn't take a cool $40 million over 4 from the Jazz, especially if it's frontloaded, then I think that he's being a bit ambitious. An average of $10 million per is a respectable raise and a decent price on both sides. If he balks at $10 million per, let him test the market. If the...

That's not what the right nut said.

The Utah Fortysevenzz?

Mo's average 3FG% and FT% per minute were the same as above ... Snarkiness aside, in the regular season MW has averaged a career 30.4 MPG and DH 28.1 MPG. https://www.nba.com/playerfile/maurice_williams/career_stats.html https://www.nba.com/playerfile/devin_harris/career_stats.html

Taking on an $8 million backup PG/SG isn't exactly the ideal way to counter accusations of playing it safe.

In the outback, I think that's called a nye for a nye ...

Defensively, quite significant. Thus, he had something to contribute. I still don't see what Ellington contributes, except a cool play on the Jazz name. Perhaps he is an entertaining interview. Or maybe he changed momentum of the game a few times like Fes did (including vs. Minny). (But...
