I didn't see this posted yet. I'd love to see the jazz sign him. I don't want him to get any real time unless the Jazz need a 3, but I love the guy and would love to see him retire here.
 
I could see KOC picking him up in the offseason if we trade either Al or Millsap.
 
Memo hurt his back and hasn't played in over a month. Even when he was playing I suspect he wasn't 100%.

He may be done.
 
I love the guy, but what would he do on the jazz now?

But hey, if the jazz want to just have him around, I'm all for it.

He could play SG. It'd be an upgrade because he'd be a shooting guard who could actually shoot. Let's get him inked.

Well, with an achilles injury, he may have been running in a way that hurt his back. I remember that's what happened to Larry Bird when he had surgery on his heels. He tried to come back too early and reinjured himself and then when his heels did heal he started running different and he hurt his back, and that spelled the end of his career. He only played on the Dream Team because he didn't want to miss that opportunity, but he wasn't himself any more. Maybe the same thing happened with Memo.

Chad, are you sick or something, with that animated gif ... MG, it's horrendous.
 
Perhaps the smartest move KOC has made. He gets rid of Memo and doesn't have to take any salary back. Jazz (I think) get under the tax threshhold as a result. So the real vlaue of the trade is $20M+. KOC also gets a trade exemption which he'll likely use if we don't get a 1st round pick. Not having a lottery slot to pay would free up enough cash to get a solid veteran from a team looking to cut expenses/rebuild.
 
if he is free in offseason, i would go for a small deal, like throw a few pennies in a year, and keep memo on the bench
 
I like Memo as much as the next guy, but the NBA is a business, and bringing Memo is not good for business. If we do get rid of Al we can find many other replacements better then Memo.
 
Oh I doubt anyone would expect Memo to play much, if at all.

He'll always be one of my favorite Jazz players, if nothing else just for his threes in game 7 against Houston


which made TMac cry....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
That allstar year he had when he was so clutch, was such a fun year to watch the Jazz.

The smartest move he ever made was trying to fix one of the biggest mistakes he ever made. That extension was idiotic (though I still think that had more to do with Gail than KOC). That extension cost the Jazz Wes Matthews, any real opportunity to improve, got us Raja Bell as a consolation, and cost about $20 million in the one year it was on the Jazz's books but never had to be.
 
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Memo's done. Good player, better guy, but his back appears to be toast.
