Rumor: DMo to sign with Jazz if Favors misses extended time

Yeah I don't think this team has a hole in the frontcourt, assuming favors is not already mummified.

Speaking mummies, Alec Burks?

Our only hole in our 2nd unit is that the 2nd unit doesnt have any strong ball-handlers or speed, which is something Alec will really help with.

Exum should improve too. The end of this season should look a fair amount different for the jazz than the beginning.
 
My guess is Dmo wants to prove he can still play so he would look for a 1 year gig to improve his signing status next year. If he is portrayed as a problem player then I am sure his agent would want to get him to sign with the Jazz because of their chair boy image. I would not complain just to give Favors more time to become healthy before the playoffs. Diaw is the wild card.

I doubt that. He refused a 1 year qualifying offer from the Rockets. My guess is he wants a long-term contract because his agent is worried about his back.

But he hasn't gotten that. If he thinks he can produce and earn time in Utah on a min contract, it makes sense to reestablish his value
 
What's not to like? Dude can be a serious stretch four and offer us some minutes at the five. This team needs another big and I think we get him at a bargain.
 
This is the case of a player who is getting shafted by the Rockets and has decided to go a different direction.

Hoopshype mentioned that the rockets rescinded their most recent offer.

Signing him for anything more than a year doesn't make much sense. But signing him for the rest of this season could be a good pickup. Diaw and Lyles already play similar roles, but he is 7'0" tall and has a nice stroke from the outside. He is a promising player. If it's not the Jazz, then I am sure someone will be happy with him.

He didnt get shafted. He tried to play the market and he didnt get any offers so the Rockets pulled back their original offer. That's how business works.
 
My first goal is re-signing Hill. After that the jazz would have to ask themselves who is better or going to be able to take us further in the playoffs?

Diaw
Lyles
Dmo?

I would guess withey gets the cut

Why not Neto? They make about the same. Withey's coming around and with Burks coming back (has played some point for us), Favor's injury issues, I think we could use a big more than a 4th string pg.
 
I think this is just smoke to put some pressure on Favors. I'm not sure DL would feel comfortable cutting Neto. Hill and Mack are UFA's. If both leave and Neto is released, only Exum would be left.
Withey has been very good the last several games and is a true center.
Does DMO give Utah a lot more than what Lyles is starting to produce? I want Trey to get all the minutes he can. His offensive game is developing nicely.

Withey's defense has also been pretty damn good lately for the limited-minutes player that he is.

This. Whitey is under rated by jazz fans. Never be a super star but to have a legit 7 footer who puts forth good effort with a nose for the ball to back up Rudy is invaluable.
 
Withey is playing well. Lyles is improving. Diaw is playing better. D Mo would be an asset upgrade, nothing more. Withey wouldn't be gone. I would say that if anyone were to be gone it would be Neto. I mean, Dante is getting crap minutes... when do you expect Neto to play big minutes again?
