The prediction was pretty simple: As soon as all the NJ offers for Carmello came out I felt that was a no brainer for us... I also felt that we should have got that one more LAL pick. Moving on: The Jazz need either lottery luck, or pick luck. Meaning SAN ANTONIO got the lottery luck by...

Blackham is me:) Blackham predicted the exact Deron Williams trade over a month before it happened (although I did think we would get the LAL pick NJ had). Blackham is a wicked smart basketball mind:). Kidding aside, I have thought and thought and thought about this trade like I did with the...

The Perk deal is Sap for Perk, not Jeffy

Sometimes you have to make bold moves to move forward. At this point going after Gasol is bold or trading Jeff/Sap for picks and going young is bold. I would take on Perkins in OKC if it got us all those good picks too... thats bold with huge upside. Resigning either Jeff/Sap is giving in to...

Way too early to talk about trading Sap? More like it is way to late. Should have traded him at the draft to move up and get Lillard. I still believe that a deal with Sacrament could have and should have been done. Sacramento didn't need a PG... what they needed was to surround Cousins with...

Patrick Patterson is now showing backup PF potential: Millsap is the best of the lot. Big Baby, Bass, Patterson.... notice that all of them are starters but ought to be bench players. That is why their teams are stuck in mediocrity.

I voted neither based on the assumption that what is becoming apparent is that neither can lead us as starters to contention much less anything better than a 7 or 8 seed. Also consider that if combined they can't get us to anything better than the 7 seed, what is going to happen when we have...

I think Millsap is good value at $7 to $7.5. Once you hit $8 to $8.5 you start to get on thinner ice. At this point you say okay we will go 4 years at $7.5, but only 3 at $8.5... However, once it hits $9, 9.5, 10, 10.5, or 11 you have to start looking at 2 years or walk away.

This is a league of stars. We have no stars. Wouldn't it be great to get the last 4 great years of Pau? I love this opportunity. I mean seriously how often does a team have a chance to pick up a hall of famer during a very productive part of their career. And get to pair that Hall of...

In general the points of people who are for the Gasol trade agree with my original premise that Gasol is an eilite player and gives us the chance to be elite. People who worry about Gasol's one year remaining on his contract miss the point that paying him $5M more than a resigned Jefferson at...

I don't think it will take Jefferson/Millsap. The Lakers are the sellers here, they are the ones with a player whose value is down because they are playing him out of position. The lakers are the ones that will have to pay $60M in fees and contract to Gasol. The entire league knows his value...

Why? Who else can the Jazz get? Think about it: Pau Gasol is only 32. He doesn't depend on jumping or speed for his success, for Pau it is skill and size. He is Tim Duncan as a professional and skill level on both the offensive end and defensive end. Why has their been drama about him and...

Utah IN: Pau Gasol Utah OUT: Any one of the following, with most preferred first with each big as options: Al Jefferson/Raja, Al Jefferson/Raja/Tinsley, Al Jefferson/Foye/Raja if needed. Millsap/Marvin/Raja, Millsap/Marvin/Foye/Raja, Millsap/Mo/Raja. Why? I believe at 32 Pau Gasol has 5-6...

I think it is going to be Minnesota. They have an unselfish team. They just missed out on the chance to overpay Nic Batum and they need a SF. I think he gets a 2/$14M deal.

We will have to agree to disagree. I just think the bigs that are getting the money are guys that have upside, extreme size and length or are high value defenders: Asik, McGee, Hibbert. The other thing to remember about all three of those guys and including Deandre Jordan who also got $11Mper...

Despite the Jr High comments by NAOS who is over the top for Millsap, I will make the point again: The league sees Millsap as Middle of the road starter/tweener PF. Humphries is overpaid by the only team in the league stupid enough to overpay as much as they are there entire roster. Think...

There is no way Al Jefferson will get $15M per year in his next deal. He might get $10M per, but for at most 2-3 years which is reasonable. Personally I would rather have Big Al if it came down to Paul and Al because I think Al can score in the post whereas Millsap just can't if you look at...

I think Paul is someone to really watch carefully. I could totally see him asking for $12M per and hoping to get $10M per on a 4 year deal, but frankly I don't think he gets more than $7.5M on the open market next summer. If he won't sign for that now... just wait it out until next summer...

I would love to get rid of Al in favor of some youth and picks. I think Houston got some great value for their picks. I would swap Al for T Jones or R White and a protected pick. Would they? Would we? Who should we target in a trade with them? Personally I think Houston should look at...

The trade may be summed up over the next 5 years based upon, playoff appearances, games played and series won. The Jazz already have a 1 series played advantage. I personally don't see NJ being a top 2 team as currently constituted so they will be a 2nd round exit in all likelihood for most of...
