He could be a piece for next year. Who would you rather have Gobert or Tomic? I'm serious.

Gobert and it is not even close. Tomic is finesse big man who is doing fine in Europe but in NBA he would be huge liability. Short wingspan, no leaping ability, poor rebounding and no shot blocking at 7'2?. Good passer though.

We can only dream he joins our point guard next year.
History has shown that the Turkish Airlines Euroleague Top 16 is one of the toughest phases in any basketball competition, and experts agree that this season's Group E is among the strongest ever assembled in the competition. As such, FC Barcelona's undefeated record after eight games in Group E is a marvel to behold and a good reason why its most dominant player last month, center Ante Tomic, is Euroleague Basketball's slam-dunk choice as bwin MVP for February. As Barcelona defied the odds to become the first 8-0 team in Top 16 history, Tomic has made the most intense stretch of the season look easy. He started February by scoring 16 points in a double-digit home win, but that was his low point of the month. He ended it by stringing together the best back-to-back performance index ratings ever recorded in the Top 16. In the process, Tomic also posted the first 25-point, 15-rebound performance since the great Arvydas Sabonis of Zalgiris Kaunas did the same 10 years ago this week. It marked the second February in a row that Tomic has won the same award, which is more than a good omen for Barcelona and its fans look to return to the Final Four. While other teams prepare for six more rounds of Top 16 drama, Barcelona could qualify for the playoffs as early as this week and then concentrate on clinching first place and homecourt advantage. All that becomes more than likely if Ante Tomic keeps playing like he did in February as the bwin MVP of the month!

Your 1st problem is that you actually attempted to read a homeytennis thread like it was worth reading.
 
Ok, let's pretend for a second that he doesn't want to come to the Jazz, doesn't want to fight for playing time against obviously talented bigs. All we need to do is find a team that likes him and get a verbal agreement from Tomic that he would come over if we traded him to that team for a first round pick or something like that. Sure, he won't play for us, but that doesn't' mean that he cant be an asset in some way.

He has quite a bit of versatile talent offensively. I'm sure he could carve himself a niche. He doesn't need to have KG defense if he's gonna be a bench big.

That's just it. He's a bit player in the NBA. Why play for a pittance when he can earn a better living where he is? He could have come over for the NBA minimum but turned around and re-upped for several more years.

I'd much rather have Gobert, Favors, Kanter and whoever the Jazz draft or sign as a fourth big than Tomic.

Spencer Hawes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Ante Tomic. Traded for a 2nd round pick. There's not a chance in hell Tomic is worth anything more than as a throw in.
