    A trade that I want the Jazz right now...

    I don't know if the Celtics would really be interested in trading their All-Star-caliber point guard to their arch-rival in the Lakers. I also can't see the Lakers giving up on Bynum without getting back another top-flight center (like Dwight Howard).

    A trade that I want the Jazz right now...

    Harris was a good fit when he played for Dallas, as they went to the NBA finals with him at Point Guard. Bell is basically a throw-in to make the contracts match. However, he would replace some of what Ray currently does for the Celtics (outside shooting and defense). The real boon for the...

    A trade that I want the Jazz right now...

    I think that they just might. They need some new and younger blood infused into their lineup. I could see Harris, Bell, and Millsap being great fits for the Celtics. Paul would be their 3rd scorer (behind Garnett and Pierce), which is the role he is perfectly suited for. Also, the Celtics'...

    A trade that I want the Jazz right now...

    to make. Once again, the Jazz are burned by the other team's PG (this time against Kyle Lowry). I have decided that this is the trade we need to make: Jazz receive: Rajon Rondo, Ray Allen, future draft pick Celtics Receive: Paul Millsap, Devin Harris, Raja Bell, Golden State pick Depth...

    misc stats from Locke's twitter yesterday

    Actually, I would want Derrick Favors to start will Jefferson to give us more length and athleticism at the four and five spots. You then bring Millsap in as the sixth man with Kanter. Also, if Josh Howard continues to struggle, maybe we should give Jeremy Evans his minutes for the time being...

    Is Hayward God?

    Gordon might not be an elite defender right now, but I think that he has the potential to be an All-NBA-caliber defender. I never understood those who questioned us drafting him out of Butler with the #9 overall pick. I watched nearly every game that Butler played in that year's NCAA Tourney...

    When does the damn game start? Utah Jazz (13-12) at Memphis Grizzlies (14-13), 9:30 p.m. (ET)

    I agree. I want the Jazz to blow out the Hornets tomorrow night so they get as much rest as they possibly can for the rematch against OKC on Tuesday. They have to. The Hornets have the WORST record in the Western Conference. I have realized something. Gordon Hayward needs to be our #2 scoring...

    The Jazz Have to Make a Hard Push for Rondo

    Remember guys, to make a trade in the NBA the contracts have to match unless one of the two teams is way under the salary cap. I started a thread about this in Friday after the Jazz lost. The realistic trade that I could see us doing is Rondo and Jermaine O'Neal for Millsap and Harris. Jefferson...

    Should we trade Millsap for a great Point Guard?

    Thanks for that. Rondo would nearly be perfect for our team. He would give us basically everything that we are lacking right now (defensive ability, athleticism, scoring, and a pass-first mentality). We would be much more effective against teams with players like Chris Paul, Darren Collison...

    Should we trade Millsap for a great Point Guard?

    Good luck with that. I was looking at realistic options, not crazy ones.

    Should we trade Millsap for a great Point Guard?

    I think that it is a question that needs serious consideration. He seems to be the Jazz's biggest trade piece that could get us what we need. We have a loaded front court while we are weak at PG. I hate to say it, but Paul might be the odd man out. We have a player in Jeremy Evans sitting on the...

    OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz: ESPN/Root Sports @ 8:30PM MST

    They lost to the absolutely terrible Sacramento Kings LAST night. If they really were that much better than us, they would have blown the Kings away regardless of the location of the game.

    OKC Thunder @ Utah Jazz: ESPN/Root Sports @ 8:30PM MST

    The Jazz utter lack of PG play right now is absolutely killing them. Once again the Jazz get dominated by an elite point guard. How many more teams' PG's are we going to let go off against us before we realize that our utter lack of talent at Point Guard is a major need right now? The only team...

    Are the Jazz a great PG away from serious contention?

    Look at the past two games. Both were winnable until we finally crapped out in the fourth. We seem to be pretty solid at all positions other than point guard. We simply got killed the past two games by the other team's point guard. If we simply had a PG that could contain and score against the...

    Is this the strongest Division start ever?

    Divisions are also used for tie-breaking purposes. If two teams from the same division have the same record and split their head-to-head meetings, the next tie-breaker is divisional record. Also, only two teams per division can land top-four seeds in the conference playoffs. Earlier this season...

    Memphis just beat Denver in OT.

    Neither Denver nor Memphis are any better than we are. Why do people constantly rail on the Jazz? They are just as talented (if not more) than a lot of other teams in the Western Conference yet people still think we will be lucky to make the playoffs. I guess that I just don't get it.

    Another win tomorrow night....would be sweet!

    I agree. However, if we are in the top 4 of the Western Conference when the All-Star reserves are announced, I would be absolutely shocked if Paul isn't there and if Al Jefferson isn't at least given consideration. Both players have the numbers and the Jazz would have the record to merit their...

    Memphis just beat Denver in OT.

    The games you speak of were on TNT, not ESPN. Second of all, to your other thread, I haven't made a game thread, so how could it possibly suck?

    Memphis just beat Denver in OT.

    If we can get by the Clippers tomorrow and again against Golden State on Thursday, we could be in position to take over 2nd place in the Northwest Division. The Nuggets next game is against the Clippers IN LA on Thursday (right after we play them), where Blake Griffin and Co. have been playing...

    Another win tomorrow night....would be sweet!

    Especially since the national media would not be able to make any excuses for the Clippers this time. A win tomorrow night would be absolutely huge for the Jazz.
