For sho. I'm still pissed about LBJ winning in Cleveland. It still pisses me off that they, Cleveland fans burned his jersey, and the owner said what he said, he goes back and it's like he never left. Lol. Don't know why that bugs me so much, but if it were me, I'd never forgive.

He's probably the best combo guard in Europe.

Actually think his teammate is better. DeColo however just signed a long term contract with CSKA. Not sure about NBA outs in it. Could possibly have one this summer. Love Teodosic on the offensive end. Unfotunately think he would get killed on the defensive side, but I would be willing to give him a shot. By the way I watched many of CSKA's games this year.
 
Money to spend. Jazz need veteran leadership off the bench. Technically, he can negotiate a buyout at any time. The Jazz can pay a portion of it without having to factor it into the cap, and then can just give him a contract big enough to cover the rest plus some.

6'5" - 192 lbs. combo guard - great passer - decent shooter - old, but it wouldn't be a huge cash or time investment to go get him. I'm still hoping that the Jazz chase DeRozan, but I think that Teo would be a great pickup for backcourt depth - especially if Exum needs to be brought back slowly.

If Malone returned after his year with the Lakers and the Jazz won a championship with him you'd forgive him.

Do you even hate Malone?

I still like him, but will never forgive him for joining the lakers. But for me it's not as bad as the LBJ thing as I was ready for the Jazz to rebuild. Stockton announced his retirement. It was the end of an era, and as soon as he was gon I felt it was time to start over and couldn't do it till he left. But it still rubs me wrong that he signed with the lakers.

LBJ in the prime of his career quit on the entire state and fans and team. So it's different.

Had Malone done what LBJ did, I'd hate Malone with a passion. Can't and won't root for someone like LBJ even if he came back and won a title.

Thanks for this!

Love your perspective on European players. Do you live over there or just enjoy it?

Thoughts on Bogdan Bogdanovich? Heard Phoenix might bring him over.
 
Have the Jazz ever gotten this much love from players in the off-season? I realize that none of these guys are big name marquee players but it does feel like the Jazz are turning a corner. It makes me wonder if there is more interest than we realize.

It's terrible to speak in absolutes. It's just my way of thinking that limiting yourself to a product that's interesting for 10 selected games during the regular season and then the playoffs is a very boring way to follow basketball.

Are people not real futbol fans if they don't follow MLS?

Most American basketball fans not only follow the NBA but also the NCAA which has more talent than Europe(not an opinion, that's a fact). Many fans have their kids in recreation leagues and at some point will dabble in coaching, if not every year. A good number continue to play in rec leagues themselves and even the least talented American is drawn in by a hoop at a barbecue. The best Euro players play in the NBA and it's kind of a pain for us to catch European games. I think you can forgive an American basketball fan for not following European play.
 
Regarding buyout questions, if you look online, it said in 2014 articles (maybe it was 2015), that his team was looking for 3M. Not sure if he's signed a new contract since that but...

Think Bogdan has what it takes to be a good NBA player. Not sure he will come over this year. He can wait one more year and make the big bucks.

Yeah, i have paid attention to intl ball for a long time now, but this year I got crazy and decided to do Euro fantasy so really had to keep up to be any good with that and joined a board that is mainly for Euro ball. Some people may consider Memphis a foreign land.

I'm the worst sort of fan their is. I don't follow the NCAA at all. I don't even follow other NBA teams. I follow the Jazz and that's it as far as the NBA goes.

He has one more year on his contract that he signed in 2014. I don't know if he has a buy-out clause. He probably doesn't. My worry for Teodosic is his D. I think it will be horrible. It has been horrible in Europe forever and imagine putting him on the floor with NBA athletes. He will be more than capable to run the offense(especially second units). He's extremely fun player, he can run the pnr and pass, he's also a pretty good shooter and creator out of the PNR... One of the main reason I will be willing to try him out is that he might teach Dante some things on O. I would give him a tryout type of contract(1+1) 10M/year in order to make it worth it for him and see how it goes.
 
I would like to get him

Look who he'd be playing with ...Alec Burks ,not known for his defense...Trey Lyles,not known for his defense ...maybe they sign Dudley,not known for his defense ....This 2nd unit would be out there to put more pts in the basket than opposing 2nd units .Nothing wrong with that when the league is getting smaller.
 
8 assists per 36. I'm not the most well versed guy on euro basketball, but that seems ridiculously good fit the way they record assists over there.

Yah, euro-assists are hard to get. Scorekeepers are notoriously stingy with AST.

It is, but he seems to turn it over a lot too. Not sure if that's normal for the European game.
