Hmm looks like no AK and standing mostly pat.

Sltrib- The Party line on Roster changes
- Thread starter Qman
- Start date
Sebastian Telfair would be interesting.
I haven't ever seen him play very well. He seems like a less efficient, smaller version of Harris.
Mason and Butler are in the league because of their shooting.

No thank you, lets just stick with Earl. Mason hasn't been playing very well lately but maybe he's got a final burst before he is done. I would like this pickup the most out of all of them. I think Butler's time is up in the NBA. But I guess these are all just small-signings and would be the 12th man anyways.

I agree with you. If these guys are anything put roster fillers, meaning they don't take time away form our new players, then it is fine. If they see much quality time then it is a very bad decision.

How about Jammal Tinsley? He was drafted just ahead of Tony Parker and had a decent run as the starter for the Pacers.

Rasual Butler 6'-7" sg 9 yr vet shoots about 36% from 3.
Telfair has been in the league 7 years? Played for 5 Different teams. Shoot about %30 from 3pt.
Roger Mason 6-5 sg. His webpage says he is a knick, ESPN doesn't even list him as an active NBA player. He had a couple of good seasons as a Spur.

Yea, I hope they are all end of the roster players if they come to the Jazz.

This just makes me wonder more about the Jazz plans for SF? Are Hayward and Milsap now small forwards (3) then? If not, Butler or Mason makes little sense.
Can the Jazz make it work with Hayward, Milsap and CJ at SF. And Bell, Burks, and veteran free-agent at sg? Bell could barely play on back to backs last year, his body is not going to withstand a compressed season.

Lost in the speculation is AK. Sounds like he will not be coming back.
So long old friend, in your early days you brought excitement and energy that renewed my waning interest, which blossomed into hope for a Jazz future without the Two Great Ones, for that I thank you.
I will always wonder what might have been had you not signed that monster deal that put pressure on you, that you could not carry and changed all of our expectations. I will also forever wish that I could have seen what a healthy AK cold have done on a Don Nelson or D’Antoni team.
It is sadly ironic that you depart Jazzland shortly after Jerry. He struggled to find a way to use you, and you struggled to understand his profanity laced metaphors and idioms. By contract you two were inseparable, and yet each of you were a millstone around the others neck. You leave Jazzland, not in angst or glory, but silently slip away, always to be remembered for what might have been. And so closes another chapter of Jazz history.

Heart felt eulogy. When is the viewing?
Then he totally stunk it up. He would be about the last person we would bring in.

tinsley has a Mark Jackson vs Stockton potential.
Tinsley for one, never has been known to be a good leader or a player with much attitude.
Bringing him in would not help our chemistry. Besides, in his mind, he's a starter. I can easily see him coming in, bashing Devin, dividing up the young locker room to try to gather support, and giving coach Corbin hell for every little thing.
No thanks, I'll pass. Give me Earl Watson. Earl knows his place and won't attempt to rock the boat. With a young coach with a lot to prove and a very young and immature team, we need to avoid the Tinsleys, Melos, Rashweed Wallaces, and other punkasses of the league.

With so many young-and-still-developing guys on our roster, it makes sense for Coach Ty and KoC to actually SEE on the court what they actually have NOW to work with before deciding what moves, if any, are needed via trade or FA. A LOT of questions need to be answered...
If Miilsap can really play SF, which he's worked at off-season, why re-sign AK?
If Evans now has a reliable jumper, which he's been working on, can he put in more PT at SF?
If Burks can actually handle PG early-on, why would we need Watson?
If Burks is good enough now to make our rotation as a SG, and/or Ronnie Price (I know, I know) has improved with his off-season workouts, do we need to keep Raja Bell?
Is Okur actually fully recovered from his injury, ready to be part of our rotation at C?
Will Kanter, very young and sort of a project, be part of our rotation this season?

Ah, Crap. How could I forget Evans. I think he has a bright future and is capable of far more than Early-oops. I hope he managed to put on 20-30 pounds this extended offseason.

From the charity game, I would say 5 pounds. 10 max. But I agree with you guys about his future. I'm not really even worried about his size, just his development of a shot. I mean, even if he gains 20-30 pounds, he still isn't backing up anybody in the post and I think his length and athletic ability are fine on defense. We don't necessarily need him to get bigger, we need him to become a 3.
We don't need Raja Bell, but he's under contract.
Good luck getting rid of him, we will probably have to eat the contract unless we can work out a trade with the Clippers or some other unsuspecting and not so smart front office.
