Jazz acquire DeMarre Carroll from Denver

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Clearly he is an upgrade to the jazz outside shooting.

 

[cowhide]

yea what the Jazz really need. More guys who can't shoot.

 

[Weezur]

The question is not who we think we need, but who KOC thinks we need based on the future he sees.
And the only answer to that is getting Burks more minutes.
And the only answer to that is a wing being traded. I have a feeling Howard or Bell might be out.
I can't see them trading Harris unless a wing is also being packed with Harris.

This doesn't add up as a signing for the traditional, straightforward reasons. But what do I know? About as much as everyone else; nothing.

But I hope something is in the works. There is no way any of the six guys I care about are on the chopping block, and if they are, the Jazz have to be looking to get something really nice.

Either way, this is a no-risk move.

 

[The Fresh Prince]

Remember him from Memphis, an eh player. Didn't do anything really.

 

[Kenwood]

Sorry if this has been talked about, but what was he doing before the jazz signed him? Was he in the D-league, or what?

He last played for the Nuggets on Feb 2 (only his 4th game of the season for 19 minutes). Denver waived him on Feb 4, and it looks like the Jazz must have grabbed him just about as quickly as he cleared waivers.

I guess it could just be adding depth for the upcoming stretch of the season, but that doesn't seem quite right, given that Evans, Burks and Tinsley are already on the roster and not playing much.

I don't get this signing at all, unless like has been mentioned something is in the works. At the very least I guess it's a no risk, somewhat reward signing.

I wonder if KOC is mad that Burks isn't playing and is going to force Ty to play him by trading one of the wings, and then having Carroll take Burks spot on the bench. This is my hope. Trading CJ or Howard packaged with Harris or Al for something idk what to help this team. That is where I just hope KOC works some magic.

So does he play SF or PF? It just said forward.
I need to know.

He's a tweener

 

[fallenchicken]

I hope this is part of something bigger.

amen

I hope this is part of something bigger.

That's what she said.

 

[TheSilencer1313]

I agree with all of you.... this makes no sense unless there is another move to come. We already have a SF/PF that can't shoot rotting on the bench (Evans).

Hmmmm....

Evans can shoot by the way...... they just don't give him that chance.

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Please, for the love of Lucifer's sagging left ball, trade Chucker J. Smiles. Please.

Oh come on Dave..... CJ has been pretty instrumental in some Jazz wins this season

 

[fallenchicken]

That's what she said.

Not to me.

 

[MK11]

I've been searching the guy for the last hour, he looks like a slightly smaller James Gist with slightly better bbal IQ. But I couldn't figure out yet what the Jazz are gonna do with him.

 

[NAOS]

There is no way any of the six guys I care about are on the chopping block....
