Jerry & Karl will fix him... I think the combination of too much $$$ and injuries did him in.

This is all making sense now. 1. Bring in Lindsey to squeeze all we can from the draft. Could KoC have gotten as much? Doubtful he pulls off THREE trades in 1 draft... 2. Lindsey next ignores all our expired contracts. KoC would likely have re-signed some of them. 3. Lindsey...

It will be interesting to see if we end up with Ben Gordon on a S & T... Not that I want him. Big Al will have Patrick Ewing as his position coach; never had one here...

Could be, TT. I do think a lot of teams put all their eggs in one basket by focusing on bigger names and miss out on cheaper opportunities that are sometimes there early-on... Then there's the Jazz, ignoring the whole market except their own FA's early-on, who usually aren't that coveted by...

Domino effect seems to be developing here; With Big Al likely gone, that prolly puts Favors at C with Kanter and the big Rook. Now we need a b/u for Millsap, who likely returns. Enter Copeland... Definitely need to bring Carroll back at SF!!

Why, oh WHY didn't we make a play for Dunleavy? Guy isn't a superstar, but a solid, all-round vet SF, who can hit 3's, passes well, 6'9", excellent BB IQ. Agreed to a meager contract with the Bulls. I get the sense management ASSUMES anyone signed early in free agency is getting overpaid...

Dorrell Wright would be a nice addition. I would get greedy and add Iguodala too. Plenty goin' on OUTSIDE SLC tho... https://www.deseretnews.com/article/865582643/Utah-Jazz-Another-quiet-day-on-the-free-agency-front-for-Jazz.html

Lost Dunleavy; going to the Bulls. https://espn.go.com/chicago/nba/story/_/id/9442953/mike-dunleavy-verbally-commits-deal-chicago-bulls-according-sources And Maynor to the Wiz.

The main problem with Mayo seems to be BB IQ and his coachability. Neither a good thing on a young team. I would rather us use Hayward at SG where he's far better defensively and go after SF Mike Dunleavy. He's 6'9' and 32 so isn't a long-term guy, which I don't think we need, and shouldn't...

Redick, if the price is right, would be an excellent fit on the Jazz. BETTER than Korver, IMO, as he has made himself into an all-round pro. And, he almost NEVER misses a FT...

That's right where I stand, too!

Bobcats are interested IF he'll come cheap. Cho ain't gonna overpay... Kinda like the Jazz and Millsap...

I MUCH prefer Burks, unless they're thinkin' he's a future PG, which seems unlikely. And, I prefer Hayward to play SG. Not a fan of Mayo; even if we get him cheap, he'll sit out his 2nd year wanting a fatter contract! NOT a fan of Mayo...

Roll with it. I expect it will be explained he won't automatically be starting; has to EARN it, just like Burke does. There are better playmakers available tho', so we'll see.

Excellent article!

Rich Cho, who build the Thunder while there, wanted Cody Zeller in Charlotte all along, as a stretch-4. His combine numbers were crazy; at 7'0" actually sprinted faster than Oladipo. Jumped thru the roof, and said that was several inches shorter than his best. And is stronger than he looks. Then...

The Raja Bell effect... Disappointing.

Yeah, this NBA policy of not announcing trades right away is annoying enough to us fans, but is far WORSE for the players involved. Creates many an awkward moment. Very bad policy, IMO...
