"Tentative plans are in place to hold a charity exhibition game Nov. 7 in Salt Lake City that would feature Jazz players versus NBA players, The Salt Lake Tribune has learned.

While some Jazz players have offered verbal commitments, the overall roster is still being finalized and plans for the game could fall through. However, everything from ticket sales to the venue are close to being finalized.

About six to eight Jazz players and six to eight NBA players, some with big names, could play in the contest if it becomes official."

So what do you think? Any players you would like a preview of? Crossing my fingers the rookies & sophomores show up.

Sweet. The 4 youngsters are the ones I'd like to see the most too.

I hope they get everyone under contract to play rather than just 6-8 players.

I tweeted a week ago they should have one game with just Jazz players going against each other.

Jefferson/Favors/Evans/Bell/Burks v. Kanter/Millsap/Miles/Hayward/Harris

I think we only have 9 players under contract (Okur, Jefferson, Favors, Millsap, Evans, Hayward, Harris, Miles, Bell).

Kanter and Burks have not signed contracts. Price, Watson, Kirilenko, Fesenko are all free againts, aren't they? With Okur playing in Turkey, that leaves 8.

Would Burks and Kanter not being under contract prohibit them from playing on the other team?

And how could Jimmer not be apart of this?

Would it be a breach of Lockout etiquette for KOC and Coach Corbin and Company to buy some tickets and watch thier players?

 

[BaronDavisIsDonkeyOnShrek]

rumor is Deron Williams, Carlos Boozer, and Kyler Korver will be participating too

Well Billy King watched Deron play in Turkey with no issues so I guess they could.

So is a Jazz v. Ex-Jazz deal huh? Very nice. Would be classic if Raja Bell switches to another team at halftime upon notification that he has been traded.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I doubt Dwill is going to fly in from Turkey just to play a game here. He is under contract to play in Turkey.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It be nice to see Matthews play also.

BS. source?

As long as they didn't talk about the players after I don't see how it wouldn't be, after all the money is going to charity.

Favors team would kill the other team!!

Jimmer Fredette, Chauncey Billups, Al Jefferson, Devin Harris, Paul Millsap, Stephen Curry, Derrick Favors, Corey Maggette, Anthony Tolliver and Ronnie Price are scheduled to play in a charity exhibition game Nov. 7 at Salt Lake Community College.

Hopefully Chauncey attending also means Burks will be playing.

Which team will Price be on?

 

[twentytwo]

The losing one.

If I was in SLC I'd totally go to this thing.

 

[MDAV28]

So this is going to happen but it's going to be at SLCC Bruin Arena.. That's no bigger than a high school gym

I'm sure there is very little hope for a stream of this exhibition. Which means we'll be relying on attendees to film, and upload as many highlights as possible.
