Nobody talkin about Dajievic for Shan Foster

Jazz don't need Korver really. I think the Jazz are trying to add shooters who can play both ways. Korver isn't terrible defender, but he is only getting older.

****ing garbage. KOC blew this one. And I'm pretty sure he blew the trade deadline (as in, there was SOMETHING that COULD'VE helped longterm for Josh Howard).

Whatever. I'm just mystified how the Lakers can get one of their 2nd rounders for cash and we get Peter Fehse for helping them (and the Clippers, probably) in a pretty huge way.

What?
 
Anyone with half a brain knows that MoWilliams makes the Jazz better. Not by much, but he's an upgrade.

You can say KOC blew it and whatever the hell you want, but take a reality check and realize that you can't just trade for players you want and always get the better deal. It's not like a staged A and E show, dudes.
 
Considering the Jazz have a history of sitting on pieces too long instead of dumping them or getting something while they can (with exception to Deron). My point is, I'll believe that Harris gets traded when I see it. I'm pretty sure Williams is your UTAH JAZZ's starting shooting guard next year, and that doesn't make me terribly giddy (LIKE him as I do).

And yeah. The Jazz could've walked away. There are already too many players on this team not in the future plans as it stands. There's always a team that has expectations and flounders out of the gate and other problems all around the league where a $10 million exception (even/especially as a 3rd team) is a necessity.

This isn't the worst move. But no one can convince me that the Mavericks really would've walked away at the insistence of getting SOMETHING resembling an asset to build with.

How about KOC tells Dallas "are you serious? Yeah, we LIKE Mo, but we don't need him, we're building for the future, and you need us to facilitate grabbing our former franchise player. You need to cough something up, and Peter Fehse ain't cutting it, *******."?

How is this not plainly obvious to anyone?

There are always contenders/playoff teams looking to add a solid role player (just look at some of the late additions this year's playoff teams made).

Are these teams trying to get under the tax for the current season or generate more cap space for next offseason? If the former, one would expect those teams to be at least decent, and the Jazz would likely only land a late first. If the latter, Mo Williams is just as useful as a TPE. If you then consider the possible haul from a trade to a contender, depending on which opportunities you think are most likely to arise this season, you may (or may not) conclude that holding Mo is more valuable than holding the TPE.

Sure. But Mo isn't paid role-player money, and again, I'll believe it when I see it.

Ultimately, I'm just super sour that the Jazz appear to have been so close to getting Crowder and it didn't happen. Oh well, I guess.
 
Don't know man. I think mo Williams could successfully run the point the next 3-4 years while we work on getting something better. I like this pick up alot for now and the future. Worst case he is an expiring that a playoff team will give up a 1 st for at the deadline.

That is to say, I don't have nearly enough information to confidently predict what future opportunities will arise. I think that's probably true of both you (numberica) and BS as well.
 
Too many questions that are likely a year from being answered (would Mo be receptive to staying for much more decent money, primarily) for me to be too happy. A lot could happen, but no one should assume a deal will be made to grab something else to build with. I like Mo, though.

But again, I doubt the 33rd pick of the draft amongst four players selected would've made this unravel.
