    Big Al to Portland?

    I don't think Al fits that well for them and I would be surprised if Portland called. The team I think will call will be Houston since they were forced to send out a very good PG, and ultimately struck out on their number one FA target.. their own PG Dragic. I think they would give up one of...

    Now what?

    I could really see a trade to Milwakee. I like the idea of picking up Mbah and a top 5 protected pick if at all possible. We give up the much greater player and hedge against ridiculous contract demands from Marvin Williams next year. Mbah is one of the best defenders in the game and if...

    Is Millsap worth $10m a year?

    Millsap will be coming off the bench this year. I say risk it and let him be a 6th man all year and then resign him when the rest of the league views him as a 6th man. He will be offered 6th man money which is MLE to $7M per, and we can resign him for $7M to $8M per and be considered as fair...

    Draft: The Player the Jazz Need Most is...Harrison Barnes

    If KOC makes a move in the draft (I have my favorites but) I will trust it is for the player he thinks can help the Jazz the most. Ever since I was so down on Hayward and he has exceeded expectations... my trust in KOC has gone skyrocketing. The other thing is.... I loved Favors coming out and...

    Draft Day Trade Utah/Dallas/Nola

    1st- Arrange with Dallas the trade of our TPE to pick up Odom and the #17 pick. I think it is even possible that Cuban pitches in the $2.4 million to help us pay his buyout. 2nd- Arrange with NOLA to take on Ariza's contract and #10 while swapping with them the to be acquired #17 pick. If we...

    The answer this off season.

    This trade is ridiculous. For starters we do not want to tie up our mid-level on a mediocre player like Brandon Rush. If you offer 4/25M which is the roughly more than MLE that was suggested you have just signed a millstone around your cap space. KOC needs to find players like Danny Greene...

    Jeff Green is he worth the risk?

    I agree that he would be overpaid at $7M per year. Jeff Green is a good player, but good players don't make or break your team... He should make $5M per on average. He just doesn't have a set position... He can't guard the SF position or the PF position but is a decent zone defender. He is a...

    My 4 Step Solution

    I also would say this: I believe Favors could be seriously special... Dwight Howard special. That said, I like both our young wings... but it is very debatable as to how they will develop. What is their ultimate upside? It could be great, but it could be mediocre. Is Hayward Dunleavy Jr or...

    My 4 Step Solution

    So I lost you at trade Millsap for Harrison Barnes? My point is that if it is clear that we are only going to keep one of either Jefferson or Millsap, and in 3 years perhaps have neither holding down our front court.... I am in the camp of trade the guy with the most trade value to maximize...

    My 4 Step Solution

    Sorry for some my errors. The #2 should be to use the tpe to acquire odom and #17 and then do the deal w detroit. Dallas does this to save cap space on odoms $2.5M buyout and the pick expense. If we don't want to get williams that's fine... Just resign our guy on the cheap.... But at least...

    My 4 Step Solution

    #1- Trade Millsap to Portland for #6, Cash.............Pick Harrison Barnes. Hollinger on his chat the other day said this scenario is very possible. #2- Trade TPE to Houston for #16, then package #16, Cash and 2013 Jazz Top 14 protected for next year to Detroit for #9.............Pick Damion...

    We have to have Harden

    Tomorrow night is all I am focused on right now. It would just be so nice to get that #8 pick!

    We have to have Harden

    Unfortunately, OKC knows how good he is and will not let him go.

    Offseason Plan/ Draft/ Trades/Free Agency

    Let's talk about Millsap to the Wizards: They realized this year that all that young talent was killing the growth and maturity of their "potential super star" and so they shipped off two immature players: Nick Young and McGee. Mcgee they shipped out for an overpaid C/PF with an injury...

    Offseason Plan/ Draft/ Trades/Free Agency

    Gordon won't get a ridiculous offer because he has the potential to get a good/solid offers. As I see it the only way we pull him away is if we offer them something they want. GSW pick I think can do it, but only if they are excited about who they picked up in the draft. That said: It may...

    Offseason Plan/ Draft/ Trades/Free Agency

    1) Trade Millsap for top #3-#5 (perhaps Wizards) and pick up Drummond. Its simple to me: Millsap will garner the most trade value and Favors time has come. If Jefferson garnered more trade value I would move him, but as it stands Al is a better low post mentor for Favors/Kanter/Drummond. I...

    Is Popovich the most overrated coach in all the history of sports?

    Pop is actually a great coach. The overrated coach is Phil Jackson.

    Steve Novak

    I have been pushing for Brandon Rush for a while. I live here in KC and have been watching him since his college days. He is young, long, athletic and can drive to the basket to create his own shot, and he can shoot the 3 at a high clip. He should be our top priority for a 4/$16 deal on July 1st!

    Deron is coming back to Utah.

    Why does everyone think it matters what Billy King thinks. I remember reading a direct quote from Chad Ford when the Boozer deal went down. He said, "KOC's reputation about being above board was so set league wide that no one questioned the deal when it happened." Meaning, no one thought for...

    After game 1, who wishes we had a draft pick next year?

    Its simple for me... I love the experience of the playoffs for the team but the Draft is my favorite part of the off season and all the scenarios of having two lottery picks was so exciting: Who do we pick? One player or two and who? Trade up? Use our exceptions? Trade a pick, and exception...
