Jazz FA rumors

[green]

Thanks guys for all the tweets and updates of all NBA players. I appreciate having a one stop shop for all free agent news. I also realize that is any news happens about Utah FA's, there will be fifty threads started proclaiming such news.

Please, continue to provide updates as it is all very interesting.

I say we just give in and merge the NBA forum with the Jazz forum. After all, doesn't EVERYTHING that happens to each team affect the Jazz? They play each team at least twice. And if a player signs with the NOLA summer league team, for example, that means he won't be playing for Utah.

The night of FA is a little different. Also, like I said, if any news happens, there will be five hundred threads about it.

Wait, I thought this thread was about jazz trade rumors? Why does everybody keep talking about merger rumors? Also, can I talk about rumours in this thread? That was one of my favorite fleet wood Mac albums. True story, it's not a rumor.

This isn't directly Jazz related, but serves to say---today's overpaid FAs are tomorrow's unmovable contracts.

The Jazz were interested in David Lee when they got Jefferson. Now the Ws are trying to trade him.....

"Jazz hoping to re-sign Jamaal Tinsley. Knicks have him targeted as well. Possibly Nets, tho may have more eyes 4 Shaun Livingston & Ridnour"

Looking like Jamal is getting a little interest.

Who's that and what are his credentials?

Ryan Anderson + Greivis would be interesting. MT @Russaldo13: Any1 on that roster the Kings could get that you would see as a good addition?

Rumors of Anderson + Greivis in a trade for Evans. But Evans said he won't sign anywhere to play the 3 position. Probably wont happen.

I wonder if we can trade Jefferson or Millsap for those 2. Would love Anderson & Greivis. Point guard to share time with Burke and have a stretch 4 off the bench.

Tell me this roster isn't sexy, wont be fun to watch and wont get us at least 8th seed.

Collison, Burke, Tinsley
Mayo, Burks
Hayward, Copeland, Williams
Favors, Kanter, Evans
Asik, Kanter, Gobert

Gobert would barely play. Favors would play back up minutes at Center when Brand comes in. 3 man rotation with Gobert helping out a little with foul trouble.

Kanter - 32 minutes per game
Favors - 32 minutes per game
Brand - 22 minute per game
Gobert - 8 minutes for Gobert

Brand wouldn't come here anyway. He wants a championship.

Not if we offer him 5 Million a year for 2 years.

For context, apparently the Jazz need to spend $24 million in order to make the league minimum. The Jazz currently have 6 roster spots open.

No I was corrected on this also. There is no league minimum that they have to spend on players. If they don't reach the minimum it will be divided amongst the current players. New CBA changed this.

Okay, then if the Jazz don't sign players, they'll spend the money anyway. Hence, they're motivated to sign players.
